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 🙏

BrailleCodesGenerator

Converts characters to braille pattern dots and vice-versa.

In Braille, every symbol used in normal written language—specifically, letters, numbers, and punctuation marks—is encoded as one or more raised dots within a two-by-three cell. The dots of the cell are commonly numbered 1 through 6:

 -----------
1|    |    |4
 -----------
2|    |    |5
 -----------
3|    |    |6
 -----------

What should be interesting to us at this point is that the dots are binary. A particular dot is either flat or raised.

Copied from Charles Petzold [CODE]

A raised dot is represented as a (big and deepened unicode char) and flat dot is represented as simply a (dot)

Methods

| Function | Defintion | | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | addBrailleCode(brailleCodeExpression: [string, string, string]) | [@param brailleCodeExpression] Array argument which takes (3) strings to and add it to a Map which would be decoded to to Alphabetic Character | | [@returns] A Map of String Array | | space() | [@returns] A Map of empty String array to allow for formatting output | converToCharacterString() | [@returns] Alphabetic Character equivalent of keyed in BrailleCodes | | convertToBraille(message: string) | [@param message]Pass a sentence or word as an arugment to the fxn(convertToBraille) and have it converted to BrailleCode Characters | | [@returns] morseCode translation equivalent as a string |
| output() | [@returns] String output after decoded operation to the console |

Pipe Operations

On Encoding brailleCodeGeneratorInstance > convertToBraille(String argx)

On Decoding brailleCodeGeneratorInstance > addBrailleCode(["String arg", "String arg", "String arg"]) > space(){optional if not needed} > converToCharacterString() > output()

##Braille, let's look at the basic lowercase alphabet

Every alphabet representation needs to be tranposed in vertical form to see the the actual graphical representation
   "a" =  ["● .", ". .", ". ."]
   "b" = ["● .", "● .", ". ."]
   "c" = ["● ●", ". .", ". ."]
   "d" = ["● ●", ". ●", ". ."]
   "e" = ["● .", ". ●", ". ."]
   "f" = ["● ●", "● .", ". ."]
   "g" = ["● ●", "● ●", ". ."]
   "h" = ["● .", "● ●", ". ."]
   "i" = [". ●", "● .", ". ."]
   "j" = [". ●", "● ●", ". ."]
   "k" = ["● .", ". .", "● ."]
   "l" = ["● .", "● .", "● ."]
   "m" = ["● ●", ". .", "● ."]
   "n" = ["● ●", ". ●", "● ."]
   "o" = ["● .", ". ●", "● ."]
   "p" = ["● ●", "● .", "● ."]
   "q" = ["● ●", "● ●", "● ."]
   "r" = ["● .", "● ●", "● ."]
   "s" = [". ●", "● .", "● ."]
   "t" = [". ●", "● ●", "● ."]
   "u" = ["● .", ". .", "● ●"]
   "v" = ["● .", "● .", "● ●"]
   "x" = ["● ●", ". .", "● ●"]
   "y" = ["● ●", ". ●", "● ●"]
   "z" = ["● .", ". ●", "● ●"]
   

Using classes in the package

Javascript
  let brailleCode = require('braille-code-generator')
  let results = new brailleCode.BrailleCodeGenerator();

  //convert from Alphabet Characters to Braille Characters
  results.convertToBraille("you and me");

  //decode from Braille Characters to Alphabet Characters
  results
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", "● ●", ". ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", ". ●", ". ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", "● .", "● ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", "● .", "● ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", ". ●", "● ."])
    .space()
    .addBrailleCode(["● ●", "● .", ". ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", "● ●", "● ."])
    .addBrailleCode([". ●", "● .", ". ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● .", ". ●", ". ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● ●", ". ●", "● ."])
    .addBrailleCode(["● ●", ". ●", ". ."])
    .addBrailleCode([". ●", "● .", "● ."])
    .converToCharacterString()
    .output();
