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 🙏

JSX Transformation and ReactComponent Hot-Loading for Electron Apps

electron-jsx-hotload

One of the nice things about electron is that the code executed inside the chromium context is still a full-fledged node-style context and has access to all the nifty things that node and node-modules have to offer.

This enourmous advantage is lost when using most any bundling system such as browserify or webpack since these bundle all sources into a single file and replace require with something else. This means that loading actual node_modules from the actual node_modules directory (or native) stops working.

At the same time these bundlers also fulfill two other purposes:

  • transforming JSX/ES2015 code to actual javascript
  • allowing for component hot-reloading

In electron we don't actually want the bundling and messing with require. What we'd really want is for the transformation of JSX to be transparent and hot-reloading to just work without messing up other stuff.

Enter electron-jsx-hotload. It creates a new file loader for the standard node module system. It then transforms these files from JSX to vanilla javascript. It also analyses the exports of any loaded JSX-module for React.Components and enables them to be hot-loaded.

If chokidar (peer-dependency) is available and process.env.NODE_ENV is not "production" it also watches the root folder for any changes to JSX files and hot-swaps them into the window.

How to do this? Just add:

<script type="text/javascript">require('electron-jsx-hotload')('.jsx')</script>

To the <head> tag of any electron HTML file. This will allow you to just use:

require('./my-file.jsx')

to load your JSX-React components. These will also hot-reload if a file-change is noticed. And best of all, inside your JSX files you can now require any node-module native or otherwise without depending on shims and worrying that some bun(d|g)ler has messed with require.

** No more web-server to run; no more bundling to be done; full-access to node-modules **
