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

babel-plugin-remove-react-element

This Babel plugin can be used to remove every usage of a react component from code. Used with webpack, this can be used to create a bundle for a mobile website and a desktop website.

Installation

npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-remove-react-element

Usage

Via .babelrc (Recommended)

.babelrc

{
	"plugins": [
		["remove-react-element", { "elementNames": ["Desktop"] }]
	]
}

Via Node API

require("@babel/core").transform("code", {
	"plugins": [
		["remove-react-element", { "elementNames": ["Desktop"] }]
	]
});

Example

In

	class MyPage extends Component {
	    render() {
	        return <div>
	            <Desktop>
	                This will show on desktops.
	            </Desktop>
	            <Mobile>
	                This will show on mobile.
	            </Mobile>
	        </div>
	    }
	}

Out

	class MyPage extends Component {
	    render() {
	        return <div>
	            {null}
	            <Mobile>
	                This will show on mobile.
	            </Mobile>
	        </div>
	    }
	}

Why...

Consider the following react component... The code below can be compiled and bundled without remove-react-element. The resulting bundle would be a valid responsive website.

import MediaQuery from 'react-responsive';
import React, { Component } from 'react';

//The markup wrapped inside the <Desktop/> tag will only show
// if the width of the page is lower than 1224px.
class Desktop extends Component {
    render() {
        return <MediaQuery query="(min-device-width: 1224px)">
            { this.props.children }
        </MediaQuery>;
    }
}

//The markup wrapped inside the <Mobile/> tag will only show
// if the width of the page is lower than 1224px.
class Mobile extends Component {
    render() {
        return <MediaQuery query="(max-device-width: 1224px)">
            { this.props.children }
        </MediaQuery>;
    }
}

export class MyPage extends Component {
    render() {
        return <div>
            <Desktop>
                This will show on desktops.
            </Desktop>
            <Mobile>
                This will show on mobile.
            </Mobile>
        </div>
    }
}

But you might have a requirement to generate a smaller bundle for mobile devices. This bundle would not need to contain the markup related to desktop. This can be achieved with remove-react-element.

To achieve this, you can configure webpack as followed.

const webpack = require('webpack');
const path = require('path');
const UglifyJSPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
	...
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
				include: [
					path.resolve('./src')
				],
				use: [
					{
						loader: 'babel-loader',
						options: {
							plugins: [
								[
									"remove-react-element",
									{ "elementNames": ["Desktop"] }
							    ]
							]
						}
					}
				]
			}
		]
	},
	plugins: [
		new UglifyJSPlugin({
			uglifyOptions: {
				beautify: true,
				ecma: 6,
				compress: true,
				comments: false
			}
		})
	]
};

Once the plugin remove-react-element has removed all the usages of the Desktop components, uglifyjs will remove all the dead code... so all the unused components should be removed from the bundle.
