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 🙏

API

handle(element, event, fn [, capture])

Handle event on element using fn. It returns a function that can be called to stop listening. e.g. to build once you could write:

var handle = require('handle');

function once(element, event, fn, capture) {
  var dispose = handle(element, event, function (el, event) {
    dispose();
    fn(el, event);
  }, capture);
}

Typical usage might look like:

var handle = require('handle');

handle(document.getElementById('my-button'), 'click', function (button, e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // do something
});

handle(elements, event, fn [, capture])

You can handle the same event on a whole list of elements in one go. This does not need to be an array, it just needs to have a .length property that is a number and have indexed values. e.g.

var handle = require('handle');

handle(document.querySelector('[data-action="do-something"]'), 'click', function (button, e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // do something
});

It too returns a dispose funciton.

handle(selector, event, fn [, capture])

This works just like jQuery's $(document.body).delecate(selector, event, function (e) { fn(this, e) }). It too returns a dispose function.

The advantages/disadvantages of using this method are:

  • It will still capture the event if the element matching selector is added to the DOM after handle is called.
  • It captures the event later (i.e. after those handlers that were attached directly to elements lower in the DOM chain)
  • It only binds to one element, so can have better performance, but it must check every event for a match, so can have worse performance

e.g.

var handle = require('handle');

handle('[data-action="do-something"]', 'click', function (button, e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // do something
});

If you want to delegate from something other than document.body you can select a start element via the .on method:

var handle = require('handle').on(document.getElementById('hideable-list'));

handle('li', 'click', function (li, e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  li.style.visibility = 'hidden';
});

handle.once(element|elements|selector, event [, capture])

Return a promise that is resolved with the event args once the event is fired. e.preventDefault() is also called since it must be called within the same turn to work.

Running Tests

Tests can be easilly run locally in the browser of your choice, and have passed if it ends with # ok. They are also run on testling-ci when pushed to the repository:

npm install
npm test
