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 🙏

backgroundVideo - v2.0.0

About

What is backgroundVideo?

backgroundVideo is a vanilla Javascript parallax (optional) plugin that turns your HTML5 <video> element into the CSS property background-size: cover, scaling to aspect ratio.

Working Examples

Within the examples folder, you will see demonstrations on how to implement the plugin.

Please note: parallax video is most effective on fixed position videos

Browser Support

HTML5 video supported browsers on desktop:

  • IE9+ / Edge
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Opera

Please note this plugin will not work on mobile devices. This is due to restrictions on autoplay and performance. A responsive image is suggested as fallback.

How to use

For the most basic implementation, add the following to your html document:

<video class="bv-video"></video>

Ensuring that you are referencing the backgroundVideo.js file in your project, you can then instantiate the plugin by using the following Javascript:

const backgroundVideo = new BackgroundVideo('.bv-video', {
  src: [
    'MY/EXAMPLE/PATH/SAMPLE.mp4',
    'MY/EXAMPLE/PATH/SAMPLE.webm'
  ]
});

The src array is the only mandatory option.

You can also install and use via npm:

npm install background-video

Please see the examples for how to use the callback options and multiple videos on one page.

Options

Option | Type | Default | Description ------ | ---- | ------- | ---------- parallax.effect | number | 1.5 | The intensity of the parallax effect (1: fixed). Number must be >= 1. preventContextMenu | boolean | false | Prevents the user from viewing the context menu on the video (prevent right-click/secondary-click) onBeforeReady() | callback | null | Run code before the video is ready onReady() | callback | null | Run code when the plugin has loaded - e.g. prevent loading flickers (see examples folder for useage)

Dependencies

None :)
