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 🙏

BEM helper functions for resolving and joining blocks to elements, blocks to modifiers and elements to modifiers.

Introduction

What is BEM? See MindBEMding – getting your head ’round BEM syntax for a primer.

These BEM helper functions help you to join block names to elements and any number of modifiers. Modifers are defined as objects where the keys are the modifier names and the values determine whether the modifier name is activated or not.

Installation

$ npm install bem-helpers

`BEMBlock( blockName [, options] )

Returns a function that can be used to construct BEM class names. For example, in React, you might have a component that supports a dark theme as well as an expandable content area. This could be achieved like so:

const b = BEMBlock('section')
export const Section = ({ heading, isDark, isExpanded, children }) => (
  <section className={b({ dark: isDark })}>
    <h1 className={b('heading')}>
      {heading}
    </h1>
    <div className={b('body', { expanded: isExpanded })}>
      {children}
    </div>
  </section>
)

If isDark and isExpanded props were both truthy, the result would be the following HTML:

<section class="section section--dark">
  <h1 class="section__heading">
    Heading
  </h1>
  <div class="section__body section__body--expanded">
    children
  </div>
</section>

Of course, if isDark and isExpanded were false, no --dark or --expanded modifiers would be constructed for them.

options

If you want more control over the separators that are used to construct BEM selectors, the following options are available to you:

elementSeparator

A string that stands between the block and element names (i.e., the __ in foo__bar). The default value is __.

modifierSeparator

A string that separates a block or element from a modifier (i.e., the -- in foo--bar or foo__bar--baz). The default value is --.

joinBEMElement( block, element [, separator] )

Joins a BEM block to an element.

joinBEMElement('foo', 'bar');
// "foo__bar"

joinBEMElement('foo', 'bar', '__custom__');
// "foo__custom__bar"

joinBEMModifiers( blockOrElement, modifiers [, separator] )

Joins a BEM block or element to any number of modifiers.

joinBEMModifiers('foo__bar', { baz: true, qux: true });
// "foo__bar foo__bar--baz foo__bar--qux"

joinBEMModifiers('foo', { bar: true }, '--custom--');
// foo foo--custom--bar

See the tests for more examples.

Testing

Run the following command:

$ npm test

This will build scripts, run tests and generate a code coverage report. Anything less than 100% coverage will throw an error.

Watching

For much faster development cycles, run the following commands in 2 separate processes:

$ npm run build:watch

Compiles TypeScript source into the ./dist folder and watches for changes.

$ npm run watch

Runs the tests in the ./dist folder and watches for changes.
