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 🙏

Ember-data-relationship-tracker

Track ember data relationships to know if records are dirty.

Problem

isDirty works great on ember data records if any of the attributes have changed. But it doesn't track relationship changes at all. This is because relationships are very complex and it's very hard to know if they are actually dirty or if they've just changed to reflect server state, e.g. because a new related record has been loaded.

Solution

ember-data-relationship-tracker allows you to explicitly mark pieces of code where you might change relationships. This gives you a hasDirtyFields property on your models that lets you know if any attributes or relationships have changed so you can reflect this in your UI.

In order to safely distinguish new versions from the server vs new edits in the client, you must provide a relationshipTrackerVersion field on your model. It can be a computed property or a real field, but it must be a unique value that changes whenever the server provides a new version.

Example

// ../models/post.js
export default class PostModel extends Model {
  @hasMany('comment') comments;
  @attr('version') version;

  // Add alias for relationship tracker 
  @alias('version') relationshipTrackerVersion;
}

// watch a section of code that might change relationships
post.watchRelationship('comments', () => {
  post.set('comments', someComments);
});

post.get('hasDirtyFields'); // true if comments has changed (or any other attribute has changed)

// rollback relationships to previous state
post.rollbackRelationships();

Works for belongsTo and hasMany relationships, and also knows if you set the relationships back to the original state and sets the property to false again.

See the tests for more examples.
