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 🙏

Goals

lively.modules provides a framework for loading, defining and interactively modifying JavaScript modules. A module is an entity containing JavaScript source code that adheres to the definition of the ECMAScript Language Specification.

For an intro to the topic see ES6 In Depth: Modules at mozilla.org

Its main purpose is to

  • Provide an interface to load modules and groups of modules (packages)
  • Provide an interface to access and modify the runtime state of a module, i.e. its
    • dependencies (modules imported and modules that import it)
    • imported and exported values
    • source code
    • internal definitions
  • Provide a user friendly and practical implementation of how imported modules are resolved *.
  • For the purpose of grouping modules together and providing a method for module lookup introduce a lightweight concept of a package.

* The ES specification explicitly leaves the semantics for "HostResolveImportedModule" open to module implementations

For more please see doc/rationale.md.

Usage

To load lively.modules you can use the pre-build dist/lively.modules-with-lively.vm.js file. Once that happens the lively.modules global will provide an interface for loading packages, modifying modules, evaluating source code in module contexts etc.

So on a webpage you would typically link via

<script src="../node_modules/lively.modules/dist/lively.modules-with-lively.vm.js"></script>

See the examples in lively-system-examples for more details.
