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 🙏

GitHub Actions NPM version npm license codecov BundlePhobia Minified BundlePhobia Minified + gzip code style: prettier Unicorn Approved

npm

A single, configurable function used to construct BEM class names.

  • No dependencies.
  • Super tiny footprint @ under 500 bytes (min + gzip).
  • Works great with or without React.
  • Generated TypeScript definitions packaged with each build/release.

Installation

$ npm install bem-join

Usage

The bemJoin function can be used to construct BEM class names. In most cases, you can just import this module and use it directly in each component. To illustrate this, let's create a simple Section component:

// /src/components/Section.jsx
import { bemJoin } from 'bem-join';

const b = bemJoin('section');

The above example uses the default options of __ for the element separator and -- for the modifiers. If you need to customize the element and modifier separators, see the Custom Separators section below.

The new b function from above can be called in two different ways:

b( [blockModifiers] )

Constructs the BEM block class names (e.g., foo foo--mod1 foo--mod2).

See the BEMModifiers section below for the modifiers interface.

b( elementName [, elementModifiers] )

Constructs the BEM element class names (e.g., foo__bar foo__bar--mod1 foo__bar--mod2)).

See the BEMModifiers section below for the modifiers interface.

Let's see it in action!

export const Section = ({ children, heading, isDark, isExpanded }) => (
  <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 falsey, no --dark or --expanded modifiers would be constructed for them.

For ultimate reuse, you might consider allowing all of your components to accept an optional blockName prop that changes the default block name. To do this, you just need to move your first bem-join call inside of your render function. Here's an example of what that would look like:

export const Foo = ({ blockName, children }) => {
  const b = bemJoin(blockName || 'foo');
  return <div className={b()}>{children}</div>;
};

BEMModifiers Interface

All modifiers must be provided as a Record object with Boolean or undefined values:

export type BEMModifiers = Record<string, boolean | undefined>;

Custom Separators

If your application requires custom element and modifier separators, you can easily do so by creating your own module that calls this one with configuration options as the first argument. Export the result of that and you can reuse it throughout your application. Here's an example:

// ./src/helpers/bem-join.js
import { bemJoin as _bemJoin } from 'bem-join';

export const bemJoin = _bemJoin({
  elementSeparator: '__', // <-- default
  modifierSeparator: '--', // <-- default
});

The exported function is now ready to be used in your application. Here's an example import for a component:

import { bemJoin } from '../helpers/bem-join';

From here, everything is the same as previously stated in the Usage section.

Testing

Run the following command:

$ npm test
