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

Asturlab - ٱلأَسْطُرلاب‎

A small JavaScript library to calculate the qibla (direction to the kaaba in Mecca) from a given coordinate pair. Calculates using great-circle (default) or a rhumb line. Most of the code adaptions of the calculations in the source code are directly from or adapted from turf.js, however turf is not a dependency.

Installation

npm install asturlab

Usage

Available in AMD, CJS, IIFE (with compatible version down to IE10) and ES6 Module.

In the browser

as an ES6 Module

import asturlab from 'asturlab';

from a script tag

<script src="path/to/dist/asturlab-iife.min.js"></script>

In node

const asturlab = require('asturlab');
const qibla = asturlab([32.123, 54.321]);
// qibla is now the bearing to the kaaba in degrees

API

asturlab(coordinates[, options]])

coordinates is a [x,y] (long, lat) pair of decimal degree coordinates in WGS84

options supported:

  • rhumb - boolean, sets calculation to use rhumb line instead of great circle
