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 🙏

Leaflet Virtual Grid

npm version build status

You can use new VirtualGrid to generate simple, cacheable, grids of L.LatLngBounds objects you can use to query APIs. This lets you query APIs for smaller units and space and never make a call data in the same area twice.

Usage with Events

var vg = new VirtualGrid();

// listen for when new cells come into the view for the first time
vg.on("cellcreate", function(e){
  console.log(e.type, e);
});

// listen for when cells reenter the view
vg.on("cellenter", function(e){
  console.log(e.type, e);
});

// listen for when cells leave the view
vg.on("cellleave", function(e){
  console.log(e.type, e);
});

// add the grid to the map
vg.addTo(map);

Usage as a Class

var MyGrid = new VirtualGrid.extend({
  createCell: function(bounds, coords){
    console.log('create cell', bounds, coords);
  },

  cellEnter: function(bounds, coords){
    console.log('cell enter', bounds, coords);
  },

  cellLeave: function(bounds, coords){
    console.log('cell leave', bounds, coords);
  }
})

var thingWithGrid = new MyGrid().addTo(map);

Options

var vg = new VirtualGrid({
  cellSize: 512,
  updateInterval: 150
});
updateInterval

How often to update the grid. Defaults to 150

cellSize

How big each cell is in pixels. Defaults to 512

Example

Here is what the grid looks like under the hood...

Example

Each rectangle would represent a call to an API or query to a data source. You would only make one request per cell so you not make repeat calls to areas like requesting all the data in a map view when a user performs a small pan.
