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 🙏

nw-nerdlayoutjs

Client wrapper for calling out to the global-nav service.

installation

npm i nw-nerdlayoutjs --save

usage

var nerdlayout = require('nw-nerdlayoutjs')

nl = nerdlayout({
  title : 'Test title',
  keywords: 'foo, bar, baz',
  description: 'a beautiful test',
  theme: 'health',
  forceDesktop: 'true',
  includePathsJS: ['../app-site/js/test.js'],
  includePathsCSS: ['../app-site/css/test.css'],
  ogTags: {
    title: 'TEST TITLE',
    image: 'http://assets.nerdwallet.com/img/nw-logos/NW_logo_200x200.png',
  },
  canonicalURL: 'http://www.nerdwallet.com',
  disclaimers: ['nonCommissionedContent']
})

nl.fetch(console.log)

methods

var nl = nerdlayout(options)

var options = {
  title : 'Test title',  // page title
  keywords: 'foo, bar, baz', // keywords for meta keywords tag
  description: 'a beautiful test', // description for meta description tag
  theme: 'health', // used primarily by legacy NW php apps as a way to namespace asset paths
  forceDesktop: 'true', // sets viewport width to desktop size
  includePathsJS: ['../app-site/js/test.js'], // paths to additional js files that should be included on the page (these will be added to the page before the close of the body tag)
  includePathsCSS: ['../app-site/css/test.css'], // paths to additional js files that should be included
  ogTags: {
    title: 'TEST TITLE',
    image: 'http://assets.nerdwallet.com/img/nw-logos/NW_logo_200x200.png',
  }, // facebook og meta tags
  canonicalURL: 'http://www.nerdwallet.com', // href for canonical link tag
  disclaimers: ['nonCommissionedContent'] // list of disclaimer types to be added to the footer
}

nl.fetch(callback)

Will make an http request to the global nav service that will include the config options specified by the caller. callback will be invoked when the response is returned from the global nav service. It will be passed the following three params:

  • error - an exception object if an error occured (otherwise it will be null)
  • top - the html from the DOCTYPE declaration through the opening of the #main container
  • bottom - the html from the close of the #main container through the closing html tag

middleware

Included is a function for creating connect middleware that will fetch global-nav data for you adding it to res.locals.nerdlayout for easy access in your route handlers.

This will fetch global-nav data w/ sane defaults.

var app = require('express')()
var middleware = require('nw-nerdlayoutjs/lib/middleware')

app.use(middleware())
app.get('/nerd', function (req, res) {
  res.send(
    res.locals.nerdlayout.top +
    'My content' +
    res.locals.nerdlayout.bottom
  )
})

You'll probably want to customize the configuration sent to global-nav such as the page title and additional assets. You can pass in a callback hook and return your own configuration which will be extended w/ the sane defaults.

var app = require('express')()
var middleware = require('nw-nerdlayoutjs/lib/middleware')

var custom = middleware(function (req, res, callback) {
  var config = {
    title: 'Nerdy Title'
  }

  callback(null, config)
})

app.use(custom)
app.get('/nerd', function (req, res) {
  res.send(
    res.locals.nerdlayout.top +
    'My content' +
    res.locals.nerdlayout.bottom
  )
})
