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-links-with-follower

CircleCI npm version Code Climate Dependency Status Ember Observer Score

Features

Provides a component that renders a set of links with a follower line underneath. The follower will animate to the position of the active link, and grow or shrink in size if needed. If no active links are found, the follower will hide.

This pattern is commonly used for navigation:

twitter

(from Twitter app)

linkedin

(from LinkedIn app)

Animation of the follower is done through CSS transition and transform using translate3d. The transitions duration will be set to 0 on window resize to avoid issues with animating while resizing.

Since Links with Follower hooks in to the Router's willTransition event, you can use link-to or transitionTo and the follower will still update properly.

Installation

ember install ember-links-with-follower

Usage

Render links with default behavior (links passed in the block are expected to be li's):

{{#links-with-follower class="my-nav"}}
  {{#link-to 'Home' tagName='li'}}Home{{/link-to}}
  {{#link-to 'Stuff' tagName='li'}}Stuff{{/link-to}}
{{/links-with-follower}}

Render custom tags, change the active selector, and animate slowly:

{{#links-with-follower
  containerTagName="section"
  linkTagName="div"
  activeSelector="selected"
  followerAnimationDuration=1000}}

  {{#link-to "Home" tagName="div"}}Home{{/link-to}}
  {{#link-to "Stuff" tagName="div"}}Stuff{{/link-to}}

{{/links-with-follower}}

Customize the follower with css:

.my-nav .link-follower {
  border-color: tomato;
  border-size: 3px;
}

How does this work?

A listener is added to the router's willTransition event. On willTransition, we look for an active link in the links provided to the component via block format.

An active link is defined by the activeSelector property, which defaults to 'li.active:not(li.ember-transitioning-out), li.ember-transitioning-in'. This allows us to eagerly transition the follower before the route has fully transitioned.
