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

alpinejs-ray

Debug Alpine.js code with Ray to fix problems faster

Install this package into any project using Alpine.js to send messages to the Ray app.

Note: use version ^1.4 of this package for Alpine v2 and ^2.0 for Alpine v3.

Installation

Installation via CDN (recommended)

The preferred way to use this package is to load it via CDN, which must be done before loading Alpine.

The axios library must be loaded prior to loading alpinejs-ray and Alpine:


<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios@latest/dist/axios.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs-ray@2/dist/standalone.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs@3/dist/cdn.min.js" defer>

Installation via Module Import

First, install alpinejs-ray with npm (or your preferred package manager):

npm install alpinejs-ray

Although not the recommended way, the package can be imported as an ESM module along with alpinejs and axios:

import Alpine from 'alpinejs';
import AlpineRayPlugin from 'alpinejs-ray';

window.axios = require('axios');
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest';

window.Alpine = Alpine;

Alpine.plugin(AlpineRayPlugin);
Alpine.start();

Configuration

To configure alpinejs-ray, you must create an alpineRayConfig property on the window object before loading alpinejs-ray:


<script>
    window.alpineRayConfig = {
        interceptErrors: true,
        logComponentsInit: true,
        logCustomEvents: true,
        logEvents: ['abc'],
    };
</script>

<!-- load axios and alpinejs-ray -->

| Name | Type(s) | Default | Description | |---------------------|------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------| | logComponentsInit | boolean | false | Send info on component initializations to Ray | | logErrors | boolean | false | Send javascript errors to Ray instead of the console | | logEvents | boolean, array | false | Send specified custom events to Ray, or false to disable |

Usage

After installing the plugin, access the $ray() magic method within your components:


<button @click="$ray().text('hello world')">Say Hello</button>

See the node-ray reference for a complete list of available methods.

Directives

Use the x-ray directive within your HTML markup to easily send data to Ray. The value of the directive must be a valid javascript expression.


<div x-data>
    <!-- sends 'hello world' and the value of the 'mystore.somevalue' Alpine store to Ray -->
    <div x-ray="'hello world'"></div>
    <div x-ray="$store.mystore.somevalue"></div>
</div>

The x-ray directive values are reactive; if the value changes, the new data will be sent to and displayed in Ray in-place. The changed value will be momentarily highlighted in Ray to indicate that it was updated.

Example Components


<button @click="$ray('hello from alpine')">Send to Ray</button>

<div x-data="onClickData()">
    <div x-show="show">Hi There Ray!</div>

    <button x-on:click="toggle()">Show/Hide (Ray)</button>
</div>

<script>
    function onClickData() {
        return {
            init() {
                this.$ray().html('<strong>init on-click-ray data</strong>');
            },
            toggle() {
                this.show = !this.show;
                this.$ray('toggled show value to ' + (this.show ? 'true' : 'false'));
            },
            show: false,
        };
    }
</script>

Displaying errors

Errors can be displayed in Ray automatically, with the portion of the code that caused the error highlighted.

Tracking Data Stores

Alpine stores can be automatically sent to Ray whenever the store data is mutated. Consider the following:

window.Alpine.store('mydata', {
    showing: false,
});

setInterval(() => {
    window.Alpine.store('mydata').showing = !window.Alpine.store('mydata').showing;
}, 3000);

To watch the store and display changes in Ray, use the $ray().watchStore('name') method:


<div x-data="componentData()">
    <div x-show="$store.mydata.showing">Hi There Ray!</div>
    <button x-on:click="toggle()">Show/Hide (Ray)</button>
</div>

<script>
    window.Alpine.store('mydata', {
        showing: false,
    });

    function componentData() {
        return {
            init() {
                this.$ray().watchStore('mydata');
            },
            toggle() {
                this.$store.mydata.showing = !this.$store.mydata.showing;
            },
        };
    }
</script>
