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 🙏

Readme

Description

Installation

Documentaton

See the extended documentation for usage details and examples.

Feature List

This list includes current and planned features. Check the issues page for a more exhaustive look at what features are being added and where they stand in the development process.

  • [x] No dependencies, simply JavaScript code
  • [x] This package offers a VanillaJS and custom React hook option
  • [x] Options object accepts locale property to specify a locale/language for Intl to use
  • [x] Options object accepts date property to get back data based on a specific date (default is current day).
  • [x] Accounts for leap years when getting date information.
  • [x] Options object accepts weekStartsOn property to make Monday the start of the week (default is Sunday)

Why offer VanillaJS and hook options?

The functionality in this package is very simple and could easily be exported only as a plain (vanilla) JavaScript function and be used in any project, including React. However, having the logic wired up as a custom React hook makes it conform more to React principles and best practices as it uses the useState and useEffect hooks internally, allowing the data to re-run only when needed (example: if you are dynamically feeding the options object and that information changes).
