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 🙏

Services for object instances

Readme

ember-contextual-services

Services, for instances.

Installation

ember install ember-contextual-services

Usage

First define an instance service for an object type, eg for an ember-data Person:

// app/contextual-services/person.js
import ContextualService from 'ember-contextual-services';
import computed from 'ember-computed';

export default ContextualService.extend({
  fullName: computed('model.firstName', 'model.lastName', function() {
    return [this.get('model.firstName'), this.get('model.lastName')].join(' ');
  })
});

Then we can inject the contextual-service service and fetch the instance service for an object using serviceFor:

// app/components/x-person/component.js
import Component from 'ember-component';
import service from 'ember-service/inject';

export default Component.extend({
  contextualService: service(),
  person: null,

  doSomething() {
    const personService = this.get('contextualService').serviceFor(this.get('person'));
    personService.get('fullName');
  }
});

As a shorthand, instead of injecting and looking up using the contextual-service we can use serviceFor which is syntactical sugar for the same:

// app/components/x-person/component.js
import Component from 'ember-component';
import { serviceFor } from 'ember-contextual-services';

export default Component.extend({
  personService: serviceFor('person'),
  person: null,

  doSomething() {
    return this.get('personService').get('fullName');
  }
});

Or in templates we can use the contextual-service helper:

{{get (contextual-service person) 'fullName'}}

For simple properties, this is a bit overkill, but where it comes into its own is in conjunction with ember-concurrency:

// app/contextual-services/person.js
import ContextualService from 'ember-contextual-services';
import { task, timeout } from 'ember-concurrency';

export default ContextualService.extend({
  debouncedSave: task(function * () {
    yield timeout(1000)
    yield this.get('model').save();
  }).restartable();
});

Contexts

serviceFor takes a 2nd parameter as a "context" so you can split out functionality for an object type across separate files.

For example serviceFor(person, 'display') will lookup the service from app/contextual-services/person/display.js instead of just app/contextual-services/person.js.

Service lookup

By default serviceFor will use the ember-data modelName in order to find the service.

You can change this by extending the service and overriding contextualServiceScope:

import ContextualServicesService from 'ember-contextual-services/services/contextual-service';
export default ContextualServicesService.extend({
  contextualServiceScope(model) {
    return 'foo';
  }
});

serviceFor uses the guid as the id so that the same service instance is returned each time for the same object.

Again this can be changed by overriding contextualServiceID, for example using the id instead:

import ContextualServicesService from 'ember-contextual-services/services/contextual-service';
export default ContextualServicesService.extend({
  contextualServiceID(model) {
    return model.get('key');
  }
});
