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 🙏

NgxKeyboardEvents

This is a simple Angular module to bring an easy way to listen to keyboard events in a modularized way consistent with Angular's style.

Right now, ngx-keyboard-events assumes that you're using Angular in a browser environment. Angular has changed a lot since I started using it, so I'm pretty sure this is a terrible assumption. If you're using it elsewhere and want to offer some recommendations on how to make this library more friendly to other environments, open an issue!

Getting started

Install the package

npm i ngx-keyboard-events

app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NgxKeyboardEventsModule } from 'ngx-keyboard-events';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        NgxKeyboardEventsModule, // import the module
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

some.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxKeyboardEventsService, NgxKeyboardEvent } from 'ngx-keyboard-events';

@Component({
    selector: 'ngx-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    title = 'ngx';

    constructor(private keyboardEventsService: NgxKeyboardEventsService) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.keyboardEventsService.onKeyPressed.subscribe((keyEvent: NgxKeyboardEvent) => {
            console.log('key event', keyEvent);
        });
    }
}

Know issues

The current implementation of the service makes prodigious use of keyEvent.keyCode by mapping numerical values from this property to a Typescript enum for a better developer experience. keyCode is deprecated in favor of key, a string property. I need to rejigger my solution so that 1) it takes advantage of the complete set of possible values for key, and 2) it no longer relies on keyCode. This issue is being tracked here.
