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 🙏

NgJvxMultiselect

ng-jvx-multiselect is a select based on angular. It handles both single and multiple selections and allows to retrieves the options via asynchronous calls.

Install ng-jvx-multiselect

npm install ng-jvx-multiselect --save

In app.module.ts

import {NgJvxMultiselectModule} from 'ng-jvx-multiselect';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgJvxMultiselectModule
  ]
})

In styles.scss

@use 'index' as ng-jvx-multiselect;

:root {
  --jvx-multiselect-primary: #008000;
  --jvx-multiselect-accent: #0000FF;
  --jvx-multiselect-warn: #FF0000;
  --jvx-multiselect-on-primary: #ffffff;
  --jvx-multiselect-on-accent: currentcolor;
  --jvx-multiselect-on-warn: currentcolor;
  --jvx-multiselect-panel-bg: #FFFFFF
}

In example.component.html

<ng-jvx-multiselect style="width: 100%" [options]="options">
  <ng-container placeholder>
    this is a placeholder
  </ng-container>
</ng-jvx-multiselect>

In example.component.ts

  public options = [
    {value: 1, text: 'text 1'},
    {value: 2, text: 'text 2'},
    {value: 3, text: 'text 3'},
    {value: 4, text: 'text 4'},
    {value: 5, text: 'text 5'},
    {value: 6, text: 'text 6'},
    {value: 7, text: 'text 7'},
    {value: 8, text: 'text 8'},
    {value: 9, text: 'text 9'},
    {value: 10, text: 'text 10'}];

API

Slots

| Name | Description | |---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | default | Using the default slot is one way of defining the options via the component <ng-jvx-option>. | | placeholder | This slot allows the user to define a placeholder which will be displayed when no selection has been made. |

Inputs

| Name | Type | Default | Description | |------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | clearable | Boolean | false | True to enable the empty selection. | | closeButton | Boolean | false | True to show the button that closes the menu. | | disabled | Boolean | false | True to disable the select. | | itemText | String | 'text' | The name of the property of the option object that will be displayed as description of the options. | | itemValue | String | 'value' | The name of the property of the option object that will be treated as value of the options. | | multi | Boolean | false | True if it's a multiselect. | | options | Array | [] | Array of option objects. | | requestHeaders | Object | {...} | The headers of the HTTP request. | | requestType | 'GET'|'POST' | 'GET' | The type of the HTTP request. | | searchInput | Boolean | false | True to enable the search input for the options list. | | searchMode | 'client'|'server' | server | 'client' if the search is only client side, 'server' if it's server side. | | searchLabel | String | 'search' | The label of the search input. | | searchProp | String | 'search' | The name of the search property of the HTTP request. | | listProp | String | '' | Name of the property in response.data where the list is stored. | | url | String | '' | The url to get the options. | | value | Array | [] | The current value of the selection. | | mapper | NgJvxOptionMapper | * | The object that will map the response of the async call. | | searchMapper | NgJvxSearchMapper | * | The object that will map the client search result. | | pageSize | number | 15 | The size of a page for pagination purposes. | | groupBy | NgJvxGroupMapper|string|null | null | If it's a string it defines the the property of each option by which group them in the list. If it's a NgJvxGroupMapper it offers a method that groups the options (useful for nested properties). |

Methods

None

Events

| Event Name | Detail | Description | |---------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | valueChange | Array | Fired when the user changes the value of the input. The detail contains the value of the selection. | | scrollEnd | None | Fired when the scrollbar in the options menu reaches the bottom. | | open | None | Fired when the the menu starts opening. | | opened | None | Fired when the the menu is opened. | | close | None | Fired when the the menu starts closing. | | closed | None | Fired when the the menu is closed. |

Groups

It is possible to collect the options in groups. To do so the user can set the property groupBy with the name of the property they want to group the options by. If the property is nested or the user wants to implement a more complex grouping algorithm, they set the property groupBy with an object that implements the interface NgJvxGroupMapper<T>. This object offers the method

mapGroup(option: T): Observable<NgJvxGroup<T>>

with

interface NgJvxGroup<T> {
  group: string;
  option: T;
}

The mapGroup method hence takes the option and wraps it in an object that defines the name of the group it belongs to. It is possible to define the look of the headers of the groups with the directive *ngJvxGroupHeaderTemplate

HTTP Request

Request

The HTTP request can be either a GET or a POST request. The user can set the type using the property requestType which is set to 'GET' by default.

Headers

The headers can be set in the property requestHeaders. By default the ng-jvx-multiselect uses the property trusted stored in the sessionStorage. The default headers are:

var requestHeaders = {
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
  'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': window.sessionStorage.getItem('trusted')
}

Response

The response must contain an array of elements.

The property listProp defines the path of the array in the response object (i.e. if listProp is set to list the ng-jvx-multiselect will get the options in the array stored in the path response.list).

Mapper

The mapper property will be an object implementing the interface NgJvxOptionMapper<T>. It will expose a method mapOption which accepts the option to be mapped in the form of an Object and returns an Observable of type T. For example if the request returns an array of objects like this:

{
  id: number;
  description: string;
}

it is possible to write a mapper like this:

 const mapper: NgJvxOptionMapper<{value: number, text: string}> = {
  mapOption(source: {
    id: number,
    description: string
  }): Observable<any> {
    return of({value: source.id, text: source.description});
  }
}

The multiMapper property works like the mapper property, it implements the interface NgJvxOptionsMapper<T>. It will expose a method mapOptions which accepts all the options to be mapped in the form of an Object and returns an Observable of type T[]. For example if the request returns an array of objects like this:

{
  id: number;
  description: string;
}

it is possible to write a mapper like this:

 const mapper: NgJvxOptionMultiMapper<{value: number, text: string}> = {
  mapOption(source: {
    id: number,
    description: string
  }[]): Observable<any> {
    return of(source.map(s=>{value: s.id, text: s.description}));
  }
}

It's useful if the user wants to add any custom option to a server call

Search

If the property searchInput is true, the user will be able to search a value amongst the options. searchProp defines the name of the property for the HTTP call.

searchMapper

The searchMapper property is an object implementing the interface NgJvxSearchMapper<T>. It exposes the method mapSearch which accepts the value of the search (a string) and an array of the selectable options. The method returns an Observable of type T[]. The value of the returned Observable will then be used as the new option list. This property is only useful for a client side search.

For example:

const searchMapper: NgJvxSearchMapper<{text: string, value: number}> = {
  mapSearch: (source: string, options: {text: string, value: number}[]): Observable<{text: string, value: number}[]> => {
     return of(options.filter(o => o.text.toLowerCase().includes(source.toLowerCase())));
  }
}

Slots

default

The default slot allows to define the options directly via html. It's not compatible with the url parameter. The options shall be wrapped in the <ng-jvx-option> component. The slot shall not be wrapped in the <ng-jvx-option> component if it's decorated with one of the available directives, since it will have different purposes.

placeholder

The slot placeholder will define the placeholder. It's shown only when the selection's value is empty.

Directives

ngJvxOptionsTemplate

When an element inside the ng-jvx-multiselect is decorated with this directive it becomes the template for the options of the select. The directive provides a context. i.e.: Let's say we have the following structure:

var options = [{
  value: 1,
  text: 'Lorem ipsum',
  color: 'blue',
  preview: 'path/to/first-image.jpg'
},
  {
    value: 2,
    text: 'dolor sit amet',
    color: 'red',
    preview: 'path/to/second-image.jpg'
  }];

and we want our options to have in the text field both the property color and the property text. We can write the template like so:

<div *ngJvxOptionsTemplate="let option">{{option.color}} {{option.text}}</div>

It's possible to use the context inside attributes too. i.e.

<div *ngJvxOptionsTemplate="let option">
  <span>{{option.text}}</span>
  <span>
        <img src="{{option.preview}}"/>
    </span>
</div>

*ngJvxSelectionTemplate

This directive works exactly as the ngJvxOptionsTemplate except it defines the selection template.
In case of a multiple selection the context is the array of the selected options, for the non-multiple selection the context is the selected option.

*ngJvxGroupHeaderTemplate

When an element inside the ng-jvx-multiselect is decorated with this directive it becomes the template for the header of the groups by which the options are devided. The directive provides a context which describes the group with its options in the following form:

{
  group: any;
  options: any[];
}

i.e.: with the following structure:

const options = [{
  value: 'dog',
  text: 'the dog',
  type: 'mammal'
}, {
  value: 'lizard',
  text: 'the lizard',
  type: 'reptile'
}, {
  value: 'cat',
  text: 'the cat',
  type: 'mammal'
  }];

and we want the header of each group be in the form of 'Type of animal: [mammal | reptile]'. We'll do as follows:


<div *ngJvxGroupHeaderTemplate="let g">Type of animal: {{g.group}}</div>

*ngJvxDisabledOption

This directive disables the selection of the host option. i.e.


<div *ngJvxOptionsTemplate="let option" [ngJvxDisabledOption]="option.text === 'text of the disabled option'">
  <span>{{option.text}}</span>
  <span>
        <img src="{{option.preview}}"/>
    </span>
</div>
