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 🙏

Why another date picker? The problem is that most of existing solutions do not follow standards regarding to value property format, that should have “a valid full-date as defined in [RFC 3339]”. In other words representation of date can vary, but the string value should have yyyy-MM-dd format. It helps to work with such values consistently regarding on the current language.

VIEW DEMO

Features

  • lightweight polyfill with no dependencies
  • works for initial and dynamic content elements
  • normalizes input[type=date] presentation for desktop browsers
  • submitted value always has standards based yyyy-MM-dd [RFC 3339] format
  • placeholder attribute works as expected
  • it's possible to change displayed date value format
  • you are able to control where to apply the polyfill
  • keyboard and accessibility friendly

Installation

$ npm install better-dateinput-polyfill

Then append the following scripts to your page:

<script src="node_modules/better-dateinput-polyfill/dist/better-dateinput-polyfill.js"></script>

Forcing the polyfill

Sometimes it's useful to override browser implemetation with the consistent control implemented by the polyfill. To suppress feature detection you can add <meta name="dateinput-polyfill-media"> into your document <head>. Value of content attribute is a media query where polyfill will be applied:

<!-- force polyfill everywhere -->
<meta name="dateinput-polyfill-media" content="screen">
<!-- force polyfill only on mobile devices in portrait mode-->
<meta name="dateinput-polyfill-media" content="screen and (orientation: portrait)">

Change default date presentation format

When no spicified polyfill uses browser settings to format displayed date. You can override date presentation globally with <meta name="dateinput-polyfill-format"> via content attribute or directly on a HTML element with data-format attribute. Value should be options for the Date#toLocaleString call as a stringified JSON object:

<html>
<head>
    <!-- Override default date presentation format -->
    <meta name="dateinput-polyfill-format" content='{"month":"long","year":"numeric","day":"numeric"}'>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Override date presentation format on a particular element -->
    <input type="date" data-format='{"month":"short","year":"numeric","day":"numeric"}'>
</body>
</html>
