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 🙏

A tiny subset of Knockout for reactive programming

Downloads

Readme

kor is a JavaScript library supporting reactive programming. It is actually just a tiny subset of the excellent Knockout library with all the stuff to do with binding to the DOM removed. This is because there are several ways to achieve the DOM-binding part (for example, React) but which lack anything as mature or helpful as Knockout's reactive programming support.

By cutting Knockout down to its core (or kor?) we end up with a library that is only 5.4 KB in size (minified+gzipped) and yet supplies the support needed for convenient reactive programming.

Authorship

Given kor's obvious direct heritage, it would be ridiculous for me to claim authorship - I just deleted a bunch of stuff. At the same time the Knockout team have not decided to create this subset so they should not be blamed for any shortcomings it suffers from.

Therefore to give credit and blame where its due, let's say:

Copyright (c) Steven Sanderson, the Knockout.js team, and other contributors http://knockoutjs.com/, with parts deleted by Daniel Earwicker

License

What survived?

The surviving functions work exactly the same as in Knockout. The only difference is that when loaded by a script tag in the browser, the root object is called kor instead of ko, to avoid collision with Knockout:

  • kor.observable
  • kor.observableArray
  • kor.computed and kor.pureComputed (prefer the latter)
  • kor.extenders and built-ins such as throttle, rateLimit
  • kor.unwrap and kor.peekObservable
  • kor.toJS

As a bonus, I've also integrated the knockout.clear extension that I put together with a lot of help from Michael Best of the Knockout team, so that includes:

  • kor.unpromise
  • kor.execute

You can find complete documentation for all these features in their respective source libraries:

Using with Knockout plugins

There are extension libraries that work alongside Knockout, such as Mapping

In the browser, if you are just using a script tag to import kor, you would need to "rename" kor by doing this before you load any extension libraries:

window.ko = window.kor;

Of course, this is only useful if the extension library is satisfied by the subset retained in kor.

(NB. I'm planning to fix knockout.clear so it automatically works with kor).

TypeScript

There are type declarations in the typings folder.
