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 🙏

Installation

yarn add @untemps/svelte-readotron

Usage

Basic usage

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text" />
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

selector prop is mandatory as it points to which element contains the text content to parse. You can utilize any selector supported by the Web API querySelector function.
If several elements match the selector, it only parses the text of the first element in the array.

The component will wait for the element to be present in the DOM before parsing its content. If the element is not found after 1000ms, an error is raised and displayed.
This is achieved with the @untemps/dom-observer package.

Lang

'lang' is an optional prop that designates the language of the text to parse. The component implements the @untemps/read-per-minute underhand package which returns an estimation based on the lang (language).
Reading rates by lang come from "How many words do we read per minute? A review and meta-analysis of reading rate" by Marc Brysbaert - Department of Experimental Psychology Ghent University

| Lang | Rate | | ------- | ---- | | default | 200 | | ar | 181 | | zh | 260 | | nl | 228 | | en | 236 | | fi | 195 | | fr | 214 | | de | 260 | | he | 224 | | it | 285 | | ko | 226 | | es | 278 | | sv | 218 |

If a lang is not defined or the provided lang is not listed, the default value (200) will be applied.

Example

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text" lang="en" />
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

Template

You can customize the Readotron display by using the template prop.

  • A template can be a string with one or more tokens delimited with %

Example

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text" template="Reading Time: %time% minutes (%words% words)" />
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>
  • A template can be a function with time and words as arguments.
    The function should return a template literal with the markup to display using optionally arguments as placeholders. But it may return any displayable type as well.

:warning: The string will be parsed with the {@html} expression: Be very careful with the content you pass or allow to pass in to this prop!

Example

<script>
    import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
    <Readotron selector=".text" template={(time, words) => `<Icon name='clock'> <strong>Reading Time: ${time} minutes</strong> (${words} words)`}/>
    <section class="text">
        ...
    </section>
</main>

Avalaible tokens/arguments

| Token | Description | | ------- | ----------------------------------- | | time | Estimated reading time (in minutes) | | words | Number of words |

Scroll Support

You are able to track and update component values by opting in the withScroll flag. This will change the time (remaining time to read) and words (number of remaining words) as the user scroll the document.

Note: There is no support for element scrolling so far, document only.

The component uses the scrollProgress underhand package to track document scrolling.

Example

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text" withScroll />
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

Change Event

If you need to be notified whenever values change, you may attach a listener to the change event emitted by the component.


Note: The change event will be dispatched only if the withScroll prop is set to true since this is the only use case that triggers the change event so far


The handler will be triggered for the first time during the mounting phase with the initial values.

Handler Signature

Here are the properties available inside the event.detail sent with the event:

| Props | Type | Description | | ---------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------- | | time | number | Estimated remaining reading time (in minutes) | | words | number | Number of remaining words | | progress | number | Ratio of progression (between 0 and 1) |

Example

<script>
    import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
    <Readotron selector=".text" withScroll on:change={(event) => {
        const {detail: {time, words, progress}} = event
        console.log('Time:', time + ' minutes')
        console.log('Words:', words + ' remaining words')
        console.log('Progress:', progress * 100 + '%')
    }}/>
    <section class="text">
        ...
    </section>
</main>

Recipe

The event dispatching allows to animate a progress bar in sync with the reading status:

<script>
    import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'

    let readingProgress = 0
</script>

<main>
    <Readotron selector=".text" withScroll on:change={(event) => {
        readingProgress = event.detail.progress
    }}/>
    <section class="text">
        ...
    </section>
    <div class="progress-bar" style="width: {readingProgress * 100}%"></div>
</main>

<style>
    .progress-bar {
        background-color: #0075ff;
        height: 20px;
        position: fixed;
        left: 0;
        bottom: 0;
    }
</style>

Slot

Another way to customize the display is to use the <slot> element.
If a <slot> is passed in as Readotron child and correctly set (see Constraints below), it will be rendered instead of the default layout. This has precedence over the template prop.
This allows to set a specific tag as parent if needed.

Constraints:

The <slot> element has to be set with the prop slot="content"

Avalaible tokens

Like template, tokens are passed back to the component to display dynamic values (see Svelte API documentation):

| Token | Description | | ------- | ----------------------------------- | | time | Estimated reading time (in minutes) | | words | Number of words |

Example

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text">
		<span slot="content" let:time let:words>{time} min ({words} words)</span>
	</Readotron>
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

Please see the Svelte API documentation to know more about the <slot> element.

Styles

All HTML attributes are automatically passed to the parent element of the component (span).
That means you can query the class attribute to customize the style of the component.

Example

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text" class="readotron" />
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

<style>
	.readotron {
		color: #0075ff;
		font-weight: 600;
	}
</style>

If you use a <slot> element, as it will replace the original layout, you have to switch the class name from the <Readotron> element to the <slot> element.

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text">
		<span class="readotron" slot="content" let:time>{time} min</span>
	</Readotron>
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

Error

If an error occurs during the parsing phase, the component catches and exposes it through an error variable which is displayed as is it by default. That means the error message uses the exact same styles as time value.

You may want to customize this error message, so the component provides a slot, named error, which replaces the default display if passed in.

Example

<script>
	import Readotron from '@untemps/svelte-readotron'
</script>

<main>
	<Readotron selector=".text">
		<span class="readotron" slot="content" let:time>{time} min</span>
		<span class="error" slot="error" let:error>Oops!</span>
	</Readotron>
	<section class="text">...</section>
</main>

<style>
	.readotron {
		color: #0075ff;
		font-weight: 600;
	}

	.error {
		color: #ff0000;
		font-weight: 600;
	}
</style>

Constraints:

The <slot> element has to be set with the prop slot="error"

Avalaible tokens

Error message is passed back to the component for display purpose if needed (see Svelte API documentation):

| Token | Description | | ------- | ---------------------- | | error | Original error message |

API

| Props | Type | Default | Description | | ------------ | ------------------ | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | selector | string | (required) | Selector of the element which contains the content to parse. See document.querySelector | | lang | string | 'en' | Lang of the content [""ar', 'zh', 'nl', 'en', 'fi', 'fr', 'de', 'he', 'it', 'ko', 'es', 'sv'] | | template | string or function | '%time% min read' | Display template which contains dynamic tokens to be replaced by the parsed values. See Template | | withScroll | boolean | false | Enable updates on scroll. If true, time and words values will reflect the document scroll position |

Events

| Props | Arguments | Type | Description | | -------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | change | | | Dispatches whenever time and words have changed | | | time | number | Estimated remaining reading time (in minutes) Estimated remaining reading time (in minutes) | | | words | number | Number of remaining words | | | progress | number | Ratio of progression (between 0 and 1) |
