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 🙏

Figma React Hooks

A tiny collection of React hooks to make writing Figma plugins simpler 1.

This tool is in currently in beta so please report any bugs or issues 🙏

Install

To install simply run

npm i figma-react-hooks

Usage

There are currently 2 hooks available in this library.

useOnMessage

useOnMessage provides the behaviour for window.onmessage which allows the Figma plugin UI to recieve data from the core plugin code.

Figma's onmessage documentation

The usage of this hook is somewhat similar to React's useEffect hook as it requires a function to be passed in as its first argument.

Using inline function

import { useOnMessage } from 'figma-react-hooks';

useOnMessage((data) => {
  // Do something here
  console.log(data);
});

Using a separate function

import { useOnMessage } from 'figma-react-hooks';

function anAwesomeFunction(data) {
  console.log(data);
}

useOnMessage((data) => anAwesomeFunction(data));

I will be adding the ability to pass nothing into useOnMessage and have it return the data as an object, rather than relying on passing in a function.


usePostMessage

usePostMessage(data: any, origin?: string)

This hook replicates the behaviour of postmessage which allows the plugin UI to send data back to the core plugin code.

Figma's postmessage documentation

It takes in an object and optionally, a string to set the origin.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | data | any | true | This is the data you want to send back to the core plugin code. This can be almost any data type or plain object, as long as it's a serializable object. Read more about the restrictions here | | origin | string | false | If you don't provide a specific origin, it will default to '*' which is what Figma recommends as a default. For more information on the origin property read Figma's API documentation. |

Example

import { usePostMessage } from 'figma-react-hooks';

let data = { animal: 'dog', vibe: 'chill' };

function onSubmit(data) {
  usePostMessage(data);
}

To do

  • Add better error and exception handling to existing hooks
  • Add in hook for Figma's on function
  • Improve useOnMessage hook to allow more use cases

1 Note: I am not affiliated with Figma, I just ❤️ the tool.
