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

electron-editor-context-menu

In Electron, right-clicking in text editors does… nothing.

This module enables the menu you'd expect, with optional spell-checker integration.

Installation

npm install electron-editor-context-menu --save

Usage

// In the renderer process:
var remote = require('electron').remote;
// `remote.require` since `Menu` is a main-process module.
var buildEditorContextMenu = remote.require('electron-editor-context-menu');

window.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
  // Only show the context menu in text editors.
  if (!e.target.closest('textarea, input, [contenteditable="true"]')) return;

  var menu = buildEditorContextMenu();

  // The 'contextmenu' event is emitted after 'selectionchange' has fired but possibly before the
  // visible selection has changed. Try to wait to show the menu until after that, otherwise the
  // visible selection will update after the menu dismisses and look weird.
  setTimeout(function() {
    menu.popup(remote.getCurrentWindow());
  }, 30);
});

Spell-checker integration

Show spelling suggestions by passing a selection object when building the menu:

var selection = {
  isMisspelled: true,
  spellingSuggestions: [
    'men',
    'mean',
    'menu'
  ]
};

var menu = buildEditorContextMenu(selection);

Get these suggestions when your spell-check provider runs —Electron will poll it immediately before the 'contextmenu' event fires.

For a complete example using electron-spell-check-provider, see here.
