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 🙏

Utilities for implementing Ractive.js component loaders

Readme

rcu - Ractive.js component utils

These utilities are designed to make it easy to implement Ractive.js component loaders in different environments. If you're not building a component loader, you probably don't need to read this page - you're probably looking for the page on components for authors instead.

For more information about the component specification, visit the page on components for component loader implementers, or see here for a list of existing implementations.

Installation

npm install rcu

...or grab the UMD build or ES2015 build from jsDelivr.

Usage

rcu.init( Ractive )

Before you can use rcu.parse() or rcu.make(), which use Ractive.parse() and Ractive.extend() respectively, you need to 'initialise' rcu by giving it a reference to Ractive.

rcu.parse( source, parseOptions = {} )

This function converts the source - the contents of an HTML component file - into an intermediate representation. Taking the example component, rcu.parse() would return something like this:

{
  imports: [{ href: 'foo.html', name: 'foo' }],
  template: {v:1,t:[ /* template goes here... */] },
  css: 'p { color: red; }',
  script: /* contents of the script tag go here */,
  modules: [ 'myLibrary' ]
}

rcu.make( source, config, callback[, errback ] )

This function converts an HTML file into a constructor that inherits from Ractive. It uses rcu.parse() internally.

  • source - the contents of the HTML file
  • config - an object containing the following properties:
    • url - the URL of the current file
    • require - the function used inside component scripts to load external dependencies
    • loadImport - a function to load child components. It takes four arguments - name (the name of the component), path (corresponds to a <link> tag's href attribute), parentUrl (the URL of the current file, i.e. the value of config.url), and done, which is a function that must be called with the resulting constructor. See here for an example of its use.
    • loadModule (optional) - a function to load external dependencies, if they need to be loaded asynchronously. Has the same signature as loadImport. See here for an example
  • callback - the function that will be called, with the constructor as sole argument, once the component is ready
  • errback (optional) - a function to call if something goes wrong

rcu.getName( path )

Returns a name from a path, e.g. path/to/foo.html becomes foo.

rcu.resolve( relativePath, baseUrl )

Resolves relativePath against baseUrl, e.g.

rcu.resolve( '../bar.html', 'path/to/foo.html' ) === 'path/bar.html'; // true

rcu.generateSourceMap( definition, options )

Generate a v3 sourcemap, with one major assumption: the contents of the component's <script> block are copied directly into the generated code, and we only need to worry about the offset (i.e. the number of non-<script> lines of code, representing the template etc, that exist in the generated code before the <script> tag's contents).

  • definition - the result of rcu.parse()
  • options - an object containing the following properties:
    • source - the name of the original file, e.g. '/path/to/template.html'
    • offset (optional, but recommended) - the number of non-<script> lines before the <script> contents
    • file (optional) - the name of the generated file, e.g. '/path/to/template.js'
