Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Build and render an image using canvas, yoga-layout and react on web.

About

This library is built to solve a simple (and maybe common) problem, that rendering an image on server is hard.

The most common (and most probably straight-forward) solution is to render an DOM element with the usual suspects (html, css, javascript) and take a screenshot with testing libs like Puppeteer or Playwright. That is a great solution if you already have the testing library already setup.

If you do not have the E2E setup or your server does not support running it during the runtime, then this library is for you.

Alone, imperative canvas is very difficult to work with, so this library provides React components to abstract the canvas methods. Furthermore, it uses yoga-layout to layout the components, so the canvas can be created with same principles of a flex-box.

Installation

npm install @recanvas/web
---
yarn add @recanvas/web

Usage

Generate a canvas

import { View, Text, Stage, renderCanvas } from "recanvas"

function generateCanvas() {
  const canvas = renderCanvas(
    <SocialImage />, // Element to be rendered on canvas
    dpr: 2, // quality is 1 by default, increase it for better quality (min: 0.1)
  )

  return canvas //
}

function SocialImage() {
  return (
    <Stage style={{ width: 400, height: 300 }} font={{ color: "white" }}>
      <View style={{ backgroundColor: "red", padding: 20 }}>
        <Text>Hello World</Text>
      </View>
    </Stage>
  )
}

Return the image generated as response

  • ExpressJs / Node HTTP

    app.get("/image", (req, res) => {
      const canvas = generateCanvas()
      const buffer = canvas.toBuffer() // Node.Buffer (default mimeType: image/png)
    
      res.writeHead(200, {
        "Content-type": "image/png",
        "Cache-Control": "public, max-age=2592000",
        "Content-Length": Buffer.byteLength(buffer).toString(),
      })
    
      return res.send(buffer)
    }
  • Remix-run / Native Response

    export function loader() {
      const canvas = generateCanvas()
      const buffer = canvas.toBuffer() // Node.Buffer (default mimeType: image/png)
    
      return new Response(buffer, {
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "image/png",
          "Cache-Control": "public, max-age=2592000",
          "Content-Length": Buffer.byteLength(buffer).toString(),
        },
      })
    }

Example
