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 🙏

Hub Flow

Hub Flow is a pattern for managing state in React.js applications. It steals the great principles from Flux & Redux (one-way data flow), but leaves out the ceremonious complexity. Hub Flow comes with built in immutability, which means a huge performance boost and an end to accidental state mutation bugs. Hub Flow is powered by Freezer.js

npm install --save hub-flow

Getting Started

hub.ts

import createHub, { Hub } from "hub-flow";
import { DBUser, Counter } from "models";

// Describe the Shape of your App State
export interface AppState {
  counter: { count: number };
  // Store the server responses on App state
  // And transform the data via the Model (see below)
  // Basically, store serializable stuff on app state so
  // caching works properly
  users: DBUser[];
}

// Setup the default AppState
// Unless you specify, the app state will be loaded
// from cache if possible
const DEFAULT_STATE: AppState = {
  users: [],
  counter: new Counter(),
};

// Create the HUB
let hub = createHub(DEFAULT_STATE);

export default hub;

Once you setup a hub, you want to create a Model for the various slices/layers of your application state. In the Model you can

  • create methods that update AppState
  • Setup specific listeners so that your component only re-renders when it needs to.
  • Transform data / setup computed values
  • Setup relationships with other layers of the application (optionally)

counter.models.ts

import hub from "global/hub";
import { Model } from "hub-flow";

export class Counter extends Model<Counter> {
  getDependencies() {
    return [hub.state.counter];
  }

  get count() {
    return hub.state.counter.count;
  }
  increment() {
    hub.state.counter.set({ count: hub.state.counter.count + 1 });
  }
  decrement() {
    hub.state.counter.set({ count: hub.state.counter.count - 1 });
  }
  reset() {
    hub.state.counter.set({ count: 0 });
  }
}

Then use it in a React component by leveraging useModel.

import React from "react";
import { Counter } from "models";
import { useModel } from "hub-flow";

export function CounterDisplay() {
  console.log("CounterDisplay -> CounterDisplay");
  const counter = useModel(Counter);
  return <div>Counter: {counter.count}</div>;
}

export function CounterButtons() {
  console.log("CounterButtons -> CounterButtons");
  const counter = useModel(Counter);
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={counter.reset}>Reset</button>
      <button onClick={counter.decrement}>-1</button>
      <button onClick={counter.increment}>+1</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Under the covers, useModel hook:

  • Wraps your Model's contstructor witha React.useMemo so that you don't get a new instance of your model with each render
  • Additional params will be passed to your Model's constructor
  • Wires up to the listeners that you defined in your Model so that React renders any time that listener receives and update event.
useModel(Counter) => new Counter();
// Additional params will be passed to your Model's constructor
useModel(User, 3) => new User(3);
