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 🙏

Overview

Gaffa attempts to speed up the development of complicated UI's by providing a rich binding layer between arbitrary data and your UI.

Writing UI's using gaffa is unlike most other MVC/MVVM/etc frameworks for a number of different reasons. (Although, others share some of the below points)

  • ASAP databinding - model change events are instantaneous
  • Extremely powerful model bindings - use complex expressions to bind to data
  • UI by transform - Use transforms over data to affect how data is displated, rather than modifying the data to suite the UI.
  • NO HTML! - Javascript to DOM, no pointless middleman.
  • Serialise to JSON - An entire application can be serialised to JSON, by design.
  • No lock-in - Push your views to the edge of Gaffa's capabilities, and break out whenever you need.

Dependencies

Gaffa must be compiled with browserify browserify

Example minimal usage


var Gaffa = require('../'),
    Text = require('gaffa-text'),
    Textbox = require('gaffa-textbox'),
    gaffa = new Gaffa();

// Register used viewItems with gaffa
gaffa.registerConstructor(Text);
gaffa.registerConstructor(Textbox);

// create a text view
var text = new Text();
text.text.binding = '(join " " "Current value of [value]:" [value])';

// create a textbox view
var textbox = new Textbox();

// Bind the textbox's value to model.value
textbox.value.binding = '[value]';

// Tell the textbox to set it's value on keyup
textbox.updateEventName = 'keyup';

// An example model
gaffa.model.set({
    value:'things'
})

// Add the view on load.
window.onload = function(){
    gaffa.views.add([
        text,
        textbox
    ]);
};

// Globalise gaffa for easy debugging.
window.gaffa = gaffa;
