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 🙏

Various utilities for Backbone applications.

Rationale | Quickstart | Compatibility | Reference | Planned | Support | Development | BSD 3-Clause

Rationale

We built several applications with a Backbone client. While writing those clients, we found ourselves repeating small patterns that were not yet abstracted by Backbone itself. We factored out those patterns and bundled them in this package, so that you can reuse them in your own Backbone single-page applications (SPAs). All of these utilities are small, independent additions to what Backbone can already do:

These utilities are well tested and we believe most Backbone applications can use at least a few of them.

We provide prototype mixins, rather than full-blown constructors/classes, because this gives you the freedom to layer them on top of a custom base class. This also leaves the choice up to you whether you want to use classic Backbone.*.extend() syntax or the modern class/ super keywords. We even have some tips in case you want to combine Backbone with TypeScript.

Quickstart

We recommend a workflow in which you install dependencies from npm and bundle them with a tool such as Rollup.

// could also use yarn, pnpm, etcetera
npm add @uu-cdh/backbone-util
import { View } from 'backbone';
import { getAltClickMixin } from '@uu-cdh/backbone-util';

export var MyBaseView = View.extend(getAltClickMixin());
// (See the reference for all the possible ways to use the library.)

You can also use the library directly from a browser embed, but you may need to set up import maps in that case.

Compatibility

The code modules use modern import/export syntax. If your target environment does not support this, you will need to take the code through a conversion or bundling tool first. Otherwise, only syntax is used that has existed for a while, so no transpilation or polyfilling should be required.

Reference

Planned features

  • A tooltip view mixin and utility function, which takes care of correctly positioning tooltips relative to (a subelement of) another view.

Support

Please report security issues to [email protected]. For regular bugs, feature requests or any other feedback, please use our issue tracker.

Development

Please see the CONTRIBUTING for everything related to testing, pull requests, versioning, etcetera.
