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 🙏

Console Groupify plugin for Babel

Scratching another itch with this. Sometimes when I'm developing in React, I wish there was a way to group the console.log statements when used inside the life-cycle functions, and add some kind of visual separation between console.logs in different functions.

This plugin checks for console.logs inside functions, and wraps them inside a console.group/console.groupEnd set, with the function name passed in as a variable for console.group. For example:


function aFunctionDeclaration () {
  console.log('hi');
}

const aFunctionExpression = function () {
  console.log('hi')
}

const anArrowFunction = () => {
  console.log('hi')
}

ends up looking like:

▼ aFunctionDeclaration
  | hi

▼ aFunctionExpression
  | hi

▼ anArrowFunction
  | hi

Combining this with the https://github.com/kgrz/babel-plugin-transform-console-log-variable-names, the printf-debugging becomes way better. For example, in a React component:

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  componentWillReceiveProps ( nextProps ) {
    console.log(this.props);
    console.log(nextProps);
  }
}

prints out:

▼ componentWillReceiveProps
  | this.props: { prop1: "one" }
  | nextProps: { prop1: "two. what the!" }

Note that both these plugins are at a pretty alpha quality.

Usage

Install the module with:

npm install --save babel-plugin-console-groupify

Include it in your babel configuration either via .babelrc or webpack. Here's a .babelrc example:

{
	"presets": [...],
	"plugins": [
		"console-groupify"
	]
}

Known Issues

  • A spread operator inside a switch statement seems to be causing issues when used with the babel-transform-object-rest-spread plugin. For instance:

    
    function myReducer (state = {}, action = {}) {
      console.log('hi');
      switch (action.type) {
        case 'some_action':
          return { ...state, key: value }
      }
    }
