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 🙏

Readme

electron-text-substitutions

Are you…

  • [x] Using Electron?
  • [x] Making a Mac app?
  • [x] And want it to respect your macOS text substitutions?

Then this is :sparkles: FOR YOU. :sparkles:

Install

npm i electron-text-substitutions --save

Electron ≥v1.2.2 is required for this to work.

Use

import performTextSubstitution from 'electron-text-substitutions';

let input = document.getElementById('my-input');
performTextSubstitution(input);

We use the system-preferences API to get the user's text substitutions. If you have smart quotes or dashes enabled, we'll handle that too.

Change notifications

To receive text preference change notifications, you'll need to call an additional method, that only works in the main process. This should be called before any renderer starts using text substitutions.

import {listenForPreferenceChanges} from 'electron-text-substitutions';
listenForPreferenceChanges();

API

Renderer Process

/**
 * Adds an `input` event listener to the given element (an <input> or
 * <textarea>) that will substitute text based on the user's replacements in
 * `NSUserDefaults`, as well as smart quotes and dashes.
 *
 * @param  {EventTarget} element  The DOM node to listen to; should fire the `input` event
 * @return {Disposable}           A `Disposable` that will clean up everything this method did
 */
performTextSubstitution(element);

Main Process

/**
 * Subscribes to text preference changed notifications and notifies listeners
 * in renderer processes. This method must be called from the main process, and
 * should be called before any renderer process calls `performTextSubstitution`.
 *
 * @return {Disposable}  A `Disposable` that will clean up everything this method did
 */
listenForPreferenceChanges() {
