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

Backbone.Analytics

A drop-in plugin that integrates Google's trackEvent directly into Backbone's navigate function. Works best with pushState set to true. If pushState is turned off, it's possible Google will register visits twice on page load. You can mitigate that by removing the trackEvent from the Google code in your site.

Dependencies

Traditional Install

Add the asynchronous Google Analytics code to your site.

Add these dependencies to your site's <head>, in order:

<script src="underscore.js"></script>
<script src="backbone.js"></script>
<script src="backbone.analytics.js"></script>

NPM Install

npm install backbone.analytics --save

Usage

Anywhere you call your router's navigate method with the trigger option set to true Backbone.Analytics will call _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/some-page']) after completing the Backbone route. This pushes the route to the Google Analytics tracking queue. Once this queue is processed by the Google Analytics script your urls will be tracked to the Google Analytics server.

var TestRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({
  routes: {
    'some-page': 'somePage'
  },

  somePage: function() {
    // Perform your route based logic, e.g. Replace the current view with a different one.
    return false;
  }
});

var router = new TestRouter();
Backbone.history.start();

Somewhere else in your application, change the view by doing:

router.navigate('some-page', { trigger: true });

Anywhere in your application where you want to update the URL but do not trigger the associated route, you will still need to manually track the action.
