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 🙏

Next-Simple-Select

NPM License: MIT

Next-Simple-Select helps you develop powerful select components that just work out of the box, without stopping you from customising the parts that are important to you.

Features

  • Flexible Data Handling: Customizable functions allow for a flexible approach to managing options.
  • Customizable Styles: Control styles using CSS classes and CSS variables for a tailored look.
  • Component Injection: Inject custom components for full control over the UI behavior.
  • Controllable State Management: Easily manage state through props for a modular architecture.
  • Virtual List Support: Efficiently handle large datasets with optional virtual scrolling for improved performance.
  • Accessibility Focused: Built-in accessibility features to enhance usability for all users.
  • Clearable Selection: Users can easily clear their selection when needed.

Long List Optimization

Purpose of the Package

This package is designed to enhance the performance of applications dealing with large datasets, particularly when rendering long lists. As web applications grow in complexity and the amount of data they handle increases, performance optimization becomes critical. This package aims to provide developers with tools to efficiently manage and render large lists without compromising user experience.

Long List Optimization

One of the standout features of this package is the implementation of useVirtualList, which optimizes the rendering of extensive datasets. By using virtualization, the package only renders the items currently visible in the viewport, significantly improving performance and reducing memory usage.

Benefits of Using useVirtualList:

  • Improved Performance: Renders only the items visible in the user’s viewport, which leads to faster load times and smoother interactions.
  • Reduced Memory Footprint: Minimizes the number of DOM nodes created, conserving memory resources for large datasets.
  • Seamless User Experience: Provides a responsive interface even with substantial amounts of data, making scrolling and interaction fluid.

Note: This feature is disabled by default. To enable virtual scrolling, set the useVirtualList prop to true in your component.

Installation and usage

The easiest way to use next-simple-select is to install it from npm or yarn and build it into your app with Webpack.

npm i next-simple-select

Then use it in your app:

"use client";
import { useState } from "react";
import SimpleSelect from "next-simple-select";

const options = [
  { value: "test1", label: "Test 1" },
  { value: "test2", label: "Test 2" },
  { value: "test3", label: "Test 3" },
];

export default function App() {
  const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState(null);

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <SimpleSelect
        value={selectedOption}
        onChange={setSelectedOption}
        options={options}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Props

Common props you may want to specify include:

  • className - apply a className to the control.
  • isDisabled - disable the control.
  • name - generate an HTML input with this name, containing the current value.
  • inputId - generate an HTML input with this id, containing the current value.
  • onChange - subscribe to change events.
  • options - specify the options the user can select from.
  • placeholder - change the text displayed when no option is selected.
  • value - control the current value.
  • isClearable - allow the user to clear the selected value.
  • showSeparator - display a separator between options.
  • openMenuOnFocus - automatically open the dropdown menu when the input is focused.
  • useVirtualList - enable virtual scrolling for performance with large lists.
  • components - customize components within the select, including:
    • IndicatorDropdown - custom indicator for the dropdown.
    • IndicatorSeparator - custom separator indicator.
    • IndicatorClearable - custom clear indicator.
    • Option - render a custom option component.

Customizations

You can customize the behavior and appearance of the select component through component injection. This feature allows you to replace or enhance specific parts of the select component. Below are the available components you can inject:

Available Components

  • Option: Replace the default option rendering with your custom component to enhance the option display also changes the selected value component.
  • IndicatorDropdown: Customize the dropdown indicator component.
  • IndicatorSeparator: Modify the separator between the select control and the dropdown indicator.
  • IndicatorClearable: Customize the clearable indicator that appears when the select has a value.

Usage

To use component injection, you can pass the desired components as props to the select component. Here’s an example:

"use client";
import Image from "next/image";
import { FiMinus, FiMoreVertical, FiPlus } from "react-icons/fi";
import SimpleSelect from "next-simple-select";

const options = [
  { value: "test1", label: "Test 1", flag: "https://flagcdn.com/w320/pk.png" },
  { value: "test2", label: "Test 2", flag: "https://flagcdn.com/w320/ca.png" },
  { value: "test3", label: "Test 3", flag: "https://flagcdn.com/w320/us.png" },
];

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <SimpleSelect
        name="country"
        inputId="country"
        showSeparator
        isClearable
        useVirtualList
        options={options}
        components={{
          IndicatorClearable: <FiMinus />,
          IndicatorDropdown: <FiPlus />,
          IndicatorSeparator: (
            <div className="flex items-center">
              <FiMoreVertical />
            </div>
          ),
          Option: (option) => {
            return (
              <div className="flex items-center gap-3">
                <Image
                  src={option.flag}
                  alt="flag"
                  width={30}
                  height={15}
                  className="object-contain aspect-video"
                />
                {option.label}
              </div>
            );
          },
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

:root {
  --simpleSelect-background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
