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 🙏

ngx-alias

Alias the result of expensive expressions in your Angular templates without using ngIf.

Build Status

Installation

Install ngx-alias using your favourite package manager, e.g.

$ npm install ngx-alias

Add the NgxAliasModule to an import in your app, e.g.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxAliasModule } from 'ngx-alias';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, NgxAliasModule],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

Now you can start using it in any templates used by the containing module.

Usage

The ngIf structural directive provides a handy mechanism to provide an alias for the expression in the template, e.g.

<h1 *ngIf="value$ | async as value">
  {{ value }}
</h1>

But if you never expect the input to ngIf to be falsey then why use this directive? Worse still, consider what happens when the result of value$ | async is 0.

This is where ngx-alias comes in handy. You can swap out your ngIf hack with the alias directive:

<h1 *alias="value$ | async as value">
  {{ value }}
</h1>

Now if the result is 0 the embedded template will still display.

Running the example app

Run ng serve ngx-alias-example for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.
