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 🙏

Facadify

Laravel like global Facades in Node, Browserify and Webpack!

... and most other CommonJS loaders.

Install

npm install --save facadify

Usage

Facadify relies on the module loader in order to be global. Specifically the fact that module loaders return the same instance loaded once for all scripts that refference it in the current application.

To leverage the module loader we must first make a file named anything you like and put wherever you like.

eg: path_to_app/facades/potato_facade.js

module.exports = function PotatoFacade(){};

yep it's that simple. We just need a global object nothing else (it doesn't even have to be a function module.exports = {}; would have ben equally valid but providing a function name looks nice when it is console.log()-ed).

Now when you bootstrap your application:

var facadify = require('facadify');
var potato = require('./modules/potato');

// facadify(Object obj, Object facade)
facadify(new Potato('Salad'), require('./facades/potato_facade.js'));

Now in any other modules in your application you may use the facade just by requiring it and calling methods on it. As an example lets assume the implementation of the Potato class to be:

var Potato = function (dish) {
	this.dish = dish;
}

Potato.prototype.dishName = function () {
	return 'Potato ' + this.dish;
}

after bootstrapping is complete, you can require it any other file and it would work nicely. Like:

var PotatoFacade = require('../facades/potato_facade.js');

console.log(PotatoFacade.dishName()); // Potato Salad

Getting the root Instance

You can reach to the root instance of the facade with the facade.getFacadeRoot() method on facades.

var x = {
	action: 'jump',
    do_something: function() { return this.action; }
};

var facade = {};
facadify(x, facade);

console.log(facade.getFacadeRoot === x); // ture

Swap the Instance

You can swap out the root instance of the facade with anything else if you like with the facade.swapFacadeRoot(Object obj) method on a facade object.

var x = {
	action: 'jump',
    do_something: function() { return this.action; }
};

var y = {
	action: 'run',
    do_something: function() { return this.action; }
};

var facade = {};
facadify(x, facade);
facade.swapFacadeRoot(y);

console.log(facade.do_something()); // run

Testing

Just install all dev dependencies and run npm test and watch the magic unfold.
