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

Adaptive Placeholders

Adaptive placeholders is a Sass mixin for an interactive form placeholder initially made by Danny King.

This Sass mixin comes with additional settings to help you easily configure the placeholder to match your design.

Adaptive Placeholder works with both text input fields and textarea.

Requirements

  • Sass v3.3 and above
  • You have Normalize.css in the project

Installation

Download the project either by downloading the zip, or using Bower

$ bower install adaptive-placeholders

Usage

Add Adaptive Placeholders into your project and import it into your main stylesheet with

@import "pathToAdaptivePlaceholders/adaptive-placeholders"; 

Write your HTML in this way:

<form action="#">
    <!-- input must have an required attribute -->
    <input type="text" name="input" id="input" required>
    <!-- labels must have placeholder and alt attributes -->
    <label for="input" placeholder="First Placeholder Label" alt="Second Placeholder Label"></label>
</form>

Then call the mixin.

input {
    @include adaptive-placeholder();
}

Customizing Adaptive Placeholder.

Adaptive placeholder comes with a set of defaults ready to use.

$adaptive-placeholder: (
  height: 3em,
  margin: 1em,
  border: 1px,
  border-radius: 1.5em,
  font-size: 1em,
  border-color: #cccccc,
  label-color: #999999,
  active-color: #e87e22,
  valid-color: #23a045,
  placeholder-background-color: white,
  textarea: false
  );

You can create your own settings for adaptive-placeholder by creating a Sass map named $adaptive-placeholder. Any defaults not overwritten will be added to the Sass map.

// Defining new defaults
$adaptive-placeholder: (
    height: 4em; 
)

// Calling Adaptive placeholders
input {
    @include adaptive-placeholder(); 
}

The adaptive placeholders provides you with a optional argument to insert a sass map if you would like to keep the defaults intact, or would like to include a second style.

input {
    @include adaptive-placeholder($optional-map); 
}

Working with Textareas

Textareas are styled differently from inputs items. To use adaptive placeholders with textareas, write your html the same way as you would use adaptive placeholders for input.

<form action="">
    <textarea name="textarea" id="textarea" required></textarea>
    <label for="textarea" placeholder="First Textarea Placeholder" alt="Second Textarea Placeholder"></label>
</form>

Create a new sass map for textareas and call it. Make sure textarea is set to true in the sass map.

$textarea-placeholder : (
    height: 18em, 
    border-radius: 6px,
    textarea: true, 
)
// Call textarea placeholder 
textarea {
    @include adaptive-placeholder($textarea-placeholder); 
}

Alternatively, you can insert the sass map directly into the mixin.

// Call textarea placeholder 
textarea {
    @include adaptive-placeholder((height: 18em, border-radius: 6px, textarea:true)); 
}
