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 🙏

React Link Preview

A React component that renders beautiful, fully-customizable link previews.

Demo npm version package downloads CI

Demo

How to use

Install the package:

yarn add @dhaiwat10/react-link-preview

npm install @dhaiwat10/react-link-preview

Import and render the preview:

import { LinkPreview } from '@dhaiwat10/react-link-preview';

const Home = () => {
  return <LinkPreview url='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ' width='400px' />;
};

If the component renders nothing, it means that no metadata could be scraped for the URL. Provide a fallback component if you don't want to render null.

Important

This package uses a Heroku proxy (open-source) to get around CORS issues. The public proxy receives a lot of traffic (+ there is a rate limit) and is not recommended for production use.

Recommended workflow (for production)

  • Please fork the proxy repo and host your own copy of it.
  • You can then use the customFetcher prop to pass a fetcher function that fetches data from your proxy. The LinkPreview will now use your proxy as the data source. More details below.

API (Available props)

You can pass the following props to the LinkPreview component.

url (string)

The URL for which you want to generate the link preview.

customFetcher? (function)

A function that takes in a url & fetches data from a proxy/server. The function should return a Promise that resolves to an object with the following structure:

{
  title: string | null;
  description: string | null;
  image: string | null;
  siteName: string | null;
  hostname: string | null;
}

You can use any data-source as you like as long as the customFetcher function returns a Promise that resolves to an object with the above structure.

Example

fallback? (JSX.Element / any valid JSX)

A fallback component which will be rendered if a link preview could not be generated.

fallbackImageSrc (string)

A fallback image src/URL which will be used if there was no image found for the URL.

explicitImageSrc (string)

The src that will be used for the image regardless of what the data source returns.

showLoader? (boolean)

Whether you want to display the default loading skeleton or not.

customLoader? (JSX.Element / any valid JSX)

Custom loader that will be displayed in place of the default loader.

backgroundColor? (string)

Background color of the card.
