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 🙏

Readme

load

Basic script loader.

The simplest and fastest way of loading scripts in modern browser is simply listing them at the end of the body element.

Use load only if for some reason you need to load your scripts dynamically - useful when integrating various 3rd party widgets and snippets (google analytics, disqus, twitter API etc.) on your page.

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install dynload

API

var load = require('dynload');
load('//topic.disqus.com/count.js');

Please note that scripts added to the DOM are async by default (see this article on script loading) which means that they will start executing as soon as they load in pretty much random order.

You can force async to false but some browsers will ignore it.

load('//topic.disqus.com/count.js', false);

load returns script element - you can register onerror and onload callbacks

load('//cdn/script.js').onload =  function () {
  console.log('my script loaded');
});

and:

load('//cdn/script.js').onerror =  function (err) {
  console.log('cannot load script', err);
});

If you your callback work with IE use segmentio/script-onload

var load  = require('dynload');
var onload = require('script-onload');

onload(load('//cdn/script.js'), function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log('Cannot load script', err);
  } else {
    console.log('Script loaded');
  }
});
