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 🙏

grunt-phantomcss

Automate CSS regression testing with PhantomCSS

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-phantomcss --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-phantomcss');

The "phantomcss" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named phantomcss to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  phantomcss: {
    options: {},
    your_target: {
      options: {
        screenshots: 'test/visual/screenshots/',
        results: 'results/visual/'
      },
      src: [
        'test/visual/**/*.js'
      ]
    }
  }
});

Options

src

Type: String|Array

The test files to run.

options.screenshots

Type: String
Default: './screenshots'

The screenshots directory where test fixtures (comparison screenshots) are stored. Baseline screenshots will be stored here on the first run if they're not present.

options.results

Type: String
Default: './results'

The directory to store source, diff, and failure screenshots after tests.

options.viewportSize

Type: Array
Default: [1280, 800]

The viewport size to test the site in [width, height] format. Useful when testing responsive layouts.

options.logLevel

Type: String
Default: error

The CasperJS log level. See CasperJS: Logging for details.

Usage Examples

Basic visual tests

Run tests in test/visual/ against comparison screenshots stored in test/visual/screenshots/, and put the resulting screenshots in results/visual/

grunt.initConfig({
  phantomcss: {
    options: {
      screenshots: 'test/visual/screenshots/',
      results: 'results/visual/'
    },
    src: [
      'test/visual/**/*.js'
    ]
  }
});

Responsive layout testing

Run tests in test/visual/ against comparison screenshots for destop and mobile.

grunt.initConfig({
  phantomcss: {
    desktop: {
      options: {
        screenshots: 'test/visual/desktop/',
        results: 'results/visual/desktop',
        viewportSize: [1024, 768]
      },
      src: [
        'test/visual/**.js'
      ]
    },
    mobile: {
      options: {
        screenshots: 'test/visual/mobile/',
        results: 'results/visual/mobile',
        viewportSize: [320, 480]
      },
      src: [
        'test/visual/**.js'
      ]
    }
  },
});

Sample test file

Test files should do the following:

  • Start CasperJS with the URL you want to test
  • Manipulate the page in some way
  • Take screenshots
casper.start('http://localhost:3000/')
.then(function() {
  phantomcss.screenshot('#todo-app', 'Main app');
})
.then(function() {
  casper.fill('form.todo-form', {
    todo: 'Item1'
  }, true);

  phantomcss.screenshot('#todo-app', 'Item added');
})
.then(function() {
  casper.click('.todo-done');

  phantomcss.screenshot('#todo-app', 'Item checked off');
});

You can also load a local file by specifying a path (relative to the Gruntfile):

casper.start('build/client/index.html')
.then(function() {
  // ...
});

Multiple Test Files

Your first test file should use casper.start

casper.start('http://localhost:3000/')
.then(function() {
  phantomcss.screenshot('#todo-app', 'Main app');
})
.then(function() {
  casper.fill('form.todo-form', {
    todo: 'Item1'
  }, true);

  phantomcss.screenshot('#todo-app', 'Item added');
});

Subsequent files should call casper.then to continue the previous test.

casper.then(function() {
  casper.click('.todo-done');

  phantomcss.screenshot('#todo-app', 'Item checked off');
});

You can also use casper.thenOpen to load a new url and continue testing in subsequent files instead of casper.start.

See the CasperJS documentation and the PhantomCSS documentation for more information on using CasperJS and PhantomCSS.

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
