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

Kitten

Kitten is a components library based on Sass and React. It provides mixins to create flexible components based on your own brand elements (colors, fonts, typographic scale, etc.).

You can check out Kitten's components on KissKissBankBank's styleguide.

It is an npm module coupled with a Rails engine that provides an integrated styleguide. It should eventually be separated into two different repositories.

Kittens

Dependencies

  • Ruby 2.2.4
  • Bundler (gem install bundler)
  • Node ~> 6.0

Table of content

Installation

You can choose to use the npm module only or with the Rails engine.

Npm

npm install kitten-components --save-dev

Rails engine

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

# Style guide
gem 'kitten'

And these routes to your routes.rb:

mount Kitten::Engine, at: '/kitten' if Rails.env.development?

You can then run bundle and restart your server.

kitten is designed to serve assets with Webpack through React on Rails.

For more detailed instructions, see Rails webpack configuration.

Usage

CSS components

Import kitten and the components your want to use in your application:

@import 'kitten';

@include k-Button;

You can define your own font families, typography settings and colors by overriding the the $k-fonts, $k-typography and $k-colors options. Check out the default config for an example.

React components

You can render React components directly in your js bundle:

const yourLoanSimulatorProps = {}

ReactDOM.render(
  React.createElement(LoanSimulator, yourLoanSimulatorProps),
  document.getElementById('loan-simulator')
)

Or, use React on Rails view helper in your .erb file:

<%= react_component('LoanSimulator', props: your_loan_simulator_props) %>

Style guide

Kitten provides a styleguide interface through a Rails engine. You can run see it in your browser by downloading kitten and launching the app or by installing the style guide in your Rails app.

The engine provides some configuration options that can be defined in config/initializers/kitten.rb:

  • webpack_output_bundle: This option is used to pass an output bundle name for hot reloading. By default, it is set to application-bundle.

Example configuration:

Kitten.configure do |config|
  config.webpack_output_bundle = 'your-custom-bundle'
end

Development

Components

Check out the guidelines to start creating new components!

Install

$ bin/kitten install

Style guide

To launch the style guide with hot-reloading, install overmind, then:

$ bin/start

Then visit http://localhost:3003

Background app

To launch the style guide in the background without hot-reloading:

$ bin/kitten start

Then visit http://localhost:3000

To stop the app:

$ bin/kitten stop

To check wether it is running or not:

$ bin/kitten status

To tail the app logs in real time:

$ bin/kitten log

Hit Ctrl+C to stop the tail.

Production settings

To share the style guide with production settings (to share via ngrok for example), you can compile the assets and serve a production server:

$ bin/rake staging:assets:precompile
$ REACT_ON_RAILS_ENV= rails s -b 0.0.0.0

Cleanup

To cleanup installed modules:

bin/kitten cleanup

Style checker

$ yarn stylelint

Ruby specs

$ bundle exec rake

SassDoc

We use SassDoc to generate documentation from our components comments.

Generate the documentation:

$ bundle exec rake sassdoc
# OR
$ yarn sassdoc

The documentation is accessible on development environment: /kitten/sassdoc.

Component testing

To launch the JS tests:

$ bin/kitten test

# OR

$ bin/test {PATH}/{FILE}.test.js

Check out the guidelines to know how to test kitten.
