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 🙏

Readme

place-geo-marker

Launch an interactive map to place a marker, and get a longitude/latitude back when the tab is closed.

Install

npm install place-geo-marker

place-geo-marker is designed for use with Node, not in the browser. (For now.)

Usage

var placeGeoMarker = require('place-geo-marker')

var defaultMarkerPos = {
  lng: 37.3404253,
  lat: -121.8924441
}

placeGeoMarker(defaultMarkerPos, function(err, pos) {
  // 'pos' will be of the same structure as 'defaultMarkerPos'
  console.dir(pos)
})

API

place-geo-marker exports a single function.

var placeGeoMarker = require('place-geo-marker')

placeGeoMarker(defaultPos, cb)

defaultPos is an object with populated lng and lat properties. If null, a default will be provided.

cb is a callback function, with parameter one being an error (null if none), and the parameter two being an object as above with lng and lat properties.

How it Works

A wonderful hack! place-geo-marker starts a local HTTP server on localhost:9691 and then launches your $BROWSER to that URL, serving some HTML and Javascript that shows a Google Map with a draggable marker the default location.

Every time the user ends a drag operation, it sends that location along a Websocket that is connected to the localhost server.

When the user is finished, they close the tab. This severs the Websocket connection, informing the local HTTP server the location is finalized, which kills the server and sends the final location in a callback to the original caller.
