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

flight-with-child-components

Build Status

A Flight mixin for nesting components by coupling their life-cycles, making sure that a component and its children are torn down together.

A component that intends to initialize child components should mix in withChildComponents and attach the children using this.attachChild.

The child will be passed an even to listen out for – when it's triggered, the child will teardown. withChildComponents mixin adds a unique event name to the parent (this.childTeardownEvent) for this use, but you can manually specify a teardownOn event name in the child's attrs.

This construct supports trees of components because, if the child also mixes in withChildComponents, it's childTeardownEvent will be fired before it is torn down, and that will teardown any further children in a cascade.

Installation

npm install --save flight-with-child-components

Use

In the parent component, mixin withChildComponents into the parent.

defineComponent(Component, withChildComponents);

This will add a generated this.childTeardownEvent property to the component — like _teardownEvent7 — which will then be used to coordinate teardown with any "child" components.

You don't need to use the childTeardownEvent manually: instead, use the this.attachChild method:

this.attachChild(ChildComponent, this.select('someChild'));

This will do some magic to make sure that the ChildComponent instance does teardown with (actually, just before) the parent.

Here's a full example:

var withChildComponents = require('fight-with-child-components');
var ChildComponent = require('some/child');
var AnotherChildComponent = require('some/other/child');

return defineComponent(parentComponent, withChildComponents);

function parentComponent() {

  this.after('initialize', function () {
    // this.attachChild does all the work needed to support nesting
    this.attachChild(ChildComponent, this.select('someChild'));

    // it supports the same API as 'attachTo'
    this.attachChild(AnotherChildComponent, '.another-child', {
      someProperty: true,
      // You can manually specify a teardown event
      teardownOn: 'someTeardownEvent'
    });


    setTimeout(() => {
      this.trigger('someTeardownEvent');
    }, 1000);
  });
}

As in the above example, you can specify a custom teardown event:

this.attachChild(AnotherChildComponent, '.another-child', {
  teardownOn: 'someTeardownEvent'
});

This allows you to manually cause the teardown of that child.

Importantly, this overrides the parent-child teardown behaviour. If you want to keep it, you must additionally supply the childTeardownEvent:

this.attachChild(AnotherChildComponent, '.another-child', {
  teardownOn: `someTeardownEvent ${this.childTeardownEvent}`
});

Non-Flight code

withChildComponents provides a utility to help you coordinate Flight-component teardown from non-Flight code.

First, import the attach method:

const { attach } = require('flight-with-child-components');

You can use attach to attach Flight components like you would with attachTo, but you also can grab the resulting teardown event from the returned object:

const { teardownEvent } = attach(Component, '.some-node');

You can then manually tear the component down using a jQuery event.

$(document).trigger(teardownEvent);

Like with attachChild, you can supply a custom teardownOn event name:

const { teardownEvent } = attach(Component, '.some-node', {
  teardownOn: 'someTeardownEvent'
});

In this example, teardownEvent will be someTeardownEvent.

Teardown hooks

To perform cleanup tasks around child teardown events, there are two methods you can "hook" with advice: willTeardownChild and didTeardownChild.

this.before('willTeardownChild', function () {
  // The childTeardownEvent has not yet fired, so you can do any extra cleanup you need
  // before your child components disappear
});

this.before('didTeardownChild', function () {
  // The childTeardownEvent has now fired and the child components will have run teardown.
  // This is the time to do final cleanup.
});

Development

To develop this module, clone the repository and run:

$ yarn && yarn test

If the tests pass, you have a working environment. You shouldn't need any external dependencies.
