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 🙏

Inital setup

Import package at the top of your component

import { AtomThemeSwitch, AtomThemeProvider } from 'atom-theme-switch'
import 'atom-theme-switch/dist/style.css'

Set initial values for property objects.

  const customMatTheme = {
    checked: {
      trackColor: 'blue', 
      thumbColor: 'white'
    },
    unchecked: {
      trackColor: '', 
      thumbColor: ''
    }
  }
  const getSwitchValues = (type: ThemeType) => console.log(type);

Then place the code snippet written below in the of needed component to render AtomThemeSwitch library:

    <AtomThemeProvider>
        <AtomThemeSwitch  
          designType='material'
          shape='round'
          switchHeight='34px'
          onChanged={getSwitchValues}
          customMatTheme={customMatTheme}
        >
        </AtomThemeSwitch>
    </AtomThemeProvider>

Options available

| Argument | Type | Values | | :------------- |:-----------:|:------------ | | designType | String | material | space | | shape | String | round | square | | switchHeight | String | '32px' | | selectedTheme | String | 'selectedTheme' | | fixedPosition | Object | { position: 'fixed', left: '0', bottom: '0', right: '0', margin: 'unset',transform: 'none'} | | customMatTheme | Object | { checked: { trackColor: 'blue', thumbColor: 'white'}, unchecked: {trackColor: '', thumbColor: ''}}| | onChanged | Event | (type: 'light' | 'dark') => void | | handleBrowserMode | Event | (type: mode: {system: string}) => void |

Design Customization - Toggle Between Different Modes

The AtomThemeSwitch component provides an intuitive way for users to toggle between different visual themes in a React.js application. Hence, the switch button allows users to choose between two distinct design types: Material and Space by setting corresponding value to designTypeproperty.

Material design offers a clean and modern look, following the principles of Material Design.

AtomThemeSwitch component offers dynamic height adjustment capabilities using modern CSS features such as calc() and var(). These functions provide flexibility and ease in customizing the appearance of the switch button to fit your design needs. Thus, by setting values in pixels for switchHeight property will adjust the size of entire component on the fly.

Dynamic variable name for a local storage key

By default AtomThemeSwitch sets 'theme' key name in local storage. Meanwhile there might be cases you would like to set anohter name. Thus, user allowed to choose a key name that best fits the context and naming conventions of your project. Feel free to set a custom string value based on your needs by updating selectedTheme property.

    <AtomThemeProvider selectedTheme='your-preferred-name'>
        <AtomThemeSwitch  
          designType='material'
          shape='round'
          selectedTheme='your-preferred-name'
          customMatTheme={customMatTheme}
        >
        </AtomThemeSwitch>
    </AtomThemeProvider>

Fixed Positioning

In CSS, the fixed position property is used to position an element relative to the viewport, which means it stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. In order to make switch button fixed positioned add fixedPosotion object provide corresponding entry in component snippet.

Note: If you are going to enable fixed positioning then position: 'fixed' porperty is required, without that the rest of properties in fixedPosition object will not work.

  const fixedPosition = {
    position: 'fixed', 
    top: '0', 
    left: '0', 
    bottom: '0', 
    right: '0', 
    margin: 'auto',
    transform: 'translate(-50%, -50%)',
  }

Next, include object in the proeprties list of component.

    <AtomThemeProvider>
        <AtomThemeSwitch  
          designType='material'
          shape='round'
          fixedPosition={fixedPosition}
          customMatTheme={customMatTheme}
        >
        </AtomThemeSwitch>
    </AtomThemeProvider>
  • position: fixed;: This positions the element relative to the browser window (viewport).
  • top: 0;: This positions the element 0 pixels from the top of the viewport.
  • left: 0;: This positions the element 0 pixels from the left of the viewport.
  • right: 0;: This positions the element 0 pixels from the right of the viewport.
  • bottom: 0;: This positions the element 0 pixels from the bottom of the viewport.
  • margin: auto;: offset the element within mentioned amount.
  • transform: translate(X, Y);: This moves the element within its own width and height.

Detect browser's current mode or theme

This function retrieves the browser's current mode or theme (e.g., light or dark mode) and sends it to the parent component. It is typically used in a React component to communicate the current theme setting to its parent component, enabling the parent component to update its state or perform other actions based on the theme.

Add handleBrowserMode property to AtomThemeSwitch component.

    <AtomThemeProvider>
        <AtomThemeSwitch  
          designType='material'
          shape='round'
          customMatTheme={customMatTheme}
          handleBrowserMode={getBrowserMode}
        >
        </AtomThemeSwitch>
    </AtomThemeProvider>

Then define function that will handle result object.

  const getBrowserMode = (mode: {system: string}) => console.log(mode);
