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 🙏

Matrix animation effect in JavaScript using Canvas

Installation

npm install cmatrix

Demos

Usage

You can use CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/cmatrix"></script>

and intialize the effect.

matrix(canvasElement, {
  chars: ['0', '1'],
  font_size: 16
}).
matrix(canvasElement, {
  chars: matrix.range(0x30A1, 0x30F6).concat(matrix.range(0x0030, 0x0039)),
  font_size: 16
}).

The matrix function return a Promise that is resolved when exit. By default, q and ESC exit from the effect. Use exit: false to disable ending of the animation.

Options

  • chars - array of single character strings, by default Katagana and Hiragana (Japanese characters are used).
  • exit - by default matrix return a promise that resolves when it ends (when someone press q or ESC) this option when set to false will disable this and the function return undefined.
  • color - default color - default is #0f0.
  • width - width of the Canvas, default full screen.
  • height - height of the Canvas, default full screen.
  • resize - if the size is constant (you specify the width and height options) you should set it to false.
  • background - by default it's set rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) alpha is required for the effect to look good.
  • font_size - number the default is 14.
  • mount: (matrix) => void - callback function which is executed with single argument that is instance of internal Matrix object when initializing.
  • unmount: (matrix) => void - callback function which is executed when Matrix effect is destroyed.
  • font - name of the font (default monospace).

Matrix instance methods

  • start() - start the animation
  • stop() - stop the animation
  • resize(width, height) - resize the canvas to the given width and height
  • clear() - clear the canvas
  • reset() - reset the internal state the effect
  • fullscreen() - toggle fullscreen
  • render() - render single frame using internal state

Static methods

  • matrix.range(start_number, end_number) - returns characters created from given range. Use matrix.range(0x30A1, 0x30F6) for Katagana characters and matrix.range(0x3041, 0x3096) for Hiragana, they look nice as matrix rain.
  • matrix.custom_chars - array containing all characters for custom matrix font in this repository.
