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 🙏

Maintainability Test Coverage CircleCI

Motivation

Sometimes we create want to add some table/view's (call table A) to another table (table B), so that when we query for table B, we could also get the fields in table A without go into the association

Example

type User {
  id
  portfolioByPortfolioId {
    id
    name
  }
}

With this extension, it is possible to do the following

query {
  allUsers{
    id
    name
  }
}

instead of

query{
  allUsers{
    id
    portfolioByPortfolioId {
      id
      name
    }
  } 
}

Description

Currently, to extend a table A to B (adding fields from A to B), it must satisfy the following

  1. table A and table B must be associated with a foreign key. a. if A has a foreign key like b_id. Then this would be a forwardExtension. b. if B has a foregin key like a_id. then adding fields from A to B would be a backwardExtension.
  2. the foreignKey between A and B should be an unique foreign key.
  3. The fields that gets copied cannot overlap.

How to Use

npm install postgraphile-table-extension-plugin

Then add it to postgraphile

import {tableExtensionPlugin} from 'postgraphile-table-extension-plugin';

createPostGraphileSchema(client, ['p'], {
appendPlugins:[tableExtensionPlugin]
});

Then use @smartComment on the foreignKey to indication extension For example, if you want to add table A's fields to table B, then

comment on table_a.b_id is E'@forwardExtension';

or if the foreign key is on table B, then

comment on table_b.a_id is E'@backwardExtension';
