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 🙏

Why use an administrator to manage all the elements on my page?

This library is used in ember-in-viewport and ember-infinity. This library is particularly important for re-using the IntersectionObserver API.

Most implementations have one Intersection Observer for each target element or so called sentinel. However, IntersectionObserver.observe can observer multiple sentinels. So this library will resuse the IntersectionObserver instance for another element on the page with the same set of observer options and root element. This can dramatically improve performance for pages with lots of elements and observers.

Note: A companion library is also available for requestAnimationFrame: https://github.com/snewcomer/raf-pool

Installation

npm install intersection-observer-admin --save

Usage

API

  1. element: DOM Node to observe
  2. enterCallback: Function
    • callback function to perform logic in your own application
  3. exitCallback: Function
    • callback function to perform when element is leaving the viewport
  4. observerOptions: Object
    • list of options to pass to Intersection Observer constructor (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserver/IntersectionObserver)
import IntersectionObserverAdmin from 'intersection-observer-admin';

const intersectionObserverAdmin = new IntersectionObserverAdmin();

// Add callbacks that will be called when observer detects entering and leaving viewport
intersectionObserverAdmin.addEnterCallback(element, enterCallback);
intersectionObserverAdmin.addExitCallback(element, exitCallback);

// add an element to static administrator with window as scrollable area
intersectionObserverAdmin.observe(element, { root, rootMargin: '0px 0px 100px 0px', threshold: 0 });

// add an element in a scrolling container
intersectionObserverAdmin.observe(element, { root, rootMargin: '0px 0px 100px 0px', threshold: 0 });

// Use in cleanup lifecycle hooks (if applicable) from the element being observed
intersectionObserverAdmin.unobserve(element, observerOptions);

// Use in cleanup lifecycle hooks of your application as a whole
// This will remove the in memory data store holding onto all of the observers
intersectionObserverAdmin.destroy();

IntersectionObserver's Browser Support

Out of the box

  • [1] Reportedly available, it didn't trigger the events on initial load and lacks isIntersecting until later versions.
  • [2] This feature was implemented in Gecko 53.0 (Firefox 53.0 / Thunderbird 53.0 / SeaMonkey 2.50) behind the preference dom.IntersectionObserver.enabled.
