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 🙏

Iso

Gitter

A helper class that allows you to hand off data from server to client.

Iso is a class. You instantiate it, add your markup, add some data to go with it, and render it. On the clientside Iso picks up what you sent down and gives it back to you so you can bring your content to life.

API

constructor(name = '', renderer = defaultRenderer)

The constructor takes in a name which is then used to build up a unique key for every added html, and a renderer which is used to determine how the data is prestented to the client. By default the renderer renders the markup into a div and the data into a script tag.

Iso#add(html: string, data: ?object): this

You provide the markup to add and some data you wish to pass down, and iso will save it internally.

Iso#render(): string

Once you're ready to collect your html you call render and a string will be returned to you.

Iso.bootstrap(onNode: function, selector: function)

onNode is a function that is called with the data, and a reference to the container node on the DOM. The selector is a function that you can configure to find the state and nodes on the DOM and return them.

The returned payload from selector should be an Object which contains the state and node pair for each unique key.

{
  "foobar": {
    state: { name: "foo" },
    node: DOMNode,
  },
}

Usage

Sample:

// server.js
const iso = new Iso()

request.get('/', function (req, res) {
  iso.add('<div>Hello, World!</div>', { someSampleData: 'Hello, World!' })
  res.render(iso.render())
})

// client.js
Iso.bootstrap(function (state, node) {
  // Now I do something with this data, perhaps run it through some library and then append
  // the result to node?
})
