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 🙏

Getting Started

Using ngContextMenu you can easily support custom context menus for your application! Custom context menus are somewhat underused, but applications such as Gmail use them wisely to provide a richer UX.

First and foremost, you must add the script in your index.html and add the dependency to your module:

var app = $angular.module('menuApp', ['ngContextMenu']);

Then, you must create your context menu, which should be placed into your application as a separate file – a partial.

<ul class="menu">
    <li>Read Message</li>
    <li>Reply to {{from}}</li>
    <li>Delete Message</li>
</ul>

Once you have the partial configured you can hook up the ngContextMenu directive using the data-context-menu attribute – passing along the path to your previously crafted partial. You may also supply an optional ngModel which will be used to evaluate the template – otherwise it will be evaluated against an empty object ({}).

<li data-context-menu="context-menus/message.html" ng-model="message"></li>

Before you begin to test the context menu, you must ensure that your context menu is positioned absolutely, since ngContextMenu will apply the top and left properties to the node which will ensure it's opened where the cursor invoked the opening of the menu.

ul.menu {
    position: absolute;
}

Now when you test your newly setup context menu, a right click on the node with the data-context-menu attribute will open the context menu. Voila!

Service

ngContextMenu ships with a simple contextMenu service which creates the necessary relationship between all of the context menus – this allows the opening of another menu —or a click on the document node— to close the currently opened menu.

Sometimes you may wish to invoke this behaviour yourself, in which case you need to add the contextMenu service to your controller, directive, service, and then invoke the cancelAll method on it.

Item Controllers

In some circumstances you may wish to add a controller for each context menu, in these cases it is preferrable to add the ng-controller attribute to the element that also has the data-context-menu attribute:

<li class="message" ng-controller="MessageController as mc" data-context-menu="context-menus/message.html">
    /* ... */
</li>
