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

##What is Emily?

  • Emily is a JS library for building scalable web applications.
  • It's runtime agnostic as it doesn't rely on the DOM.
  • It's ready for realtime applications.
  • It's only a set of AMD/commonJS modules, your module loader is the framework
  • It's ready for being used with other frameworks.
  • It only relies on standard features
  • It eases the development of MV* applications by providing the M

##What modules does it provide?

  • Observable: the all mighty observer design pattern.
  • Store: the spine of your MV* application.
  • Promise: a fully compliant promise/A+ implementation following promiseA+-tests
  • StateMachine: don't hide your states and transitions behind if/else anymore.
  • Transport: make requests to anything node.js has access to.
  • Tools: these functions you always need and rewrite.
  • Router: set routes with associated actions and navigate to them while keeping tack of the history

##How do I use it?

npm install emily
	var emily = require("emily");

	var StateMachine = emily.StateMachine;
	var Observable = emily.Observable;
	var Promise = emily.Promise;
	var Router = emily.Router;
	var StateMachine = emily.StateMachine;
	var Store = emily.Store;
	var Tools = emily.Tools;
	var Transport = emily.Transport;

	// ...
