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 🙏

react-component-illustrator

react-component-illustrator takes in a list of examples for your library of React.js components, group them by the component they are showcasing (you may have more than one example for a component), and return an array of illustrations of your components, along with their examples.

Install

npm install --save-dev react-component-illustrator

A Quick Sample Illustration

Inputs

The input of your resulting illustration comes from your React.js components and the examples.

For the most part, you just develop/document them like you normally would (using comment blocks in your .js files), with a few opinionated behaviors I throw in. Here's an example:

Consider you have a project structure like so:

AwesomeComponents
├── src
│   └── components
│       ├── Button
│       │   ├── Button.js
│       │   └── examples
│       │       ├── SimpleButton.js
│       │       ├── AnotherButton.js
│       │       └── IconButton.js
│       └── ...
└── ...

And your file contents:

// src/components/Button/Button.js
import React, { PropTypes, Component } from 'react';

/**
 * Some description for Button
 *
 * some more description for Button
 */
export default class Button extends Component {
  static propTypes = {
    /**
     * Property string's description
     */
    string:     PropTypes.string,
    required:   PropTypes.any.isRequired,
    instanceOf: PropTypes.instanceOf(MyPropType),
    customProp: function (props, propName, componentName) {
      if (!/My/.test(props[propName])) {
        return new Error('Invalid customProp');
      }
    }
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <divButton</div>
    );
  }
}
Note:
  • You can add docs for each propTypes by adding /* */ comment blocks
// src/components/Button/examples/SimpleButton.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Button from '../Buton';

/**
 * SimpleButton
 * description
 *
 * @name SimpleButtonExample
 * @component ../../Button
 */
export default class SimpleButtonExample extends Component {
  render() {
    let foo = <div>simple</div>;

    return (
      <div>
        {foo}
        <Button></Button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
Note:
  • You can use @name in jsDoc tag style to customize the name of your example in the output, without it, the name of your example's class would be returned.
  • You NEED to use a @component tag in your documentation of the example to associate your example with a particular component that you are showcasing. Without this, your example would be categorized under "Random Examples".
// src/components/Button/examples/AnotherButton.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Button from '../Buton';

export default class AnotherButtonExample extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Button></Buton>
    );
  }
}
// src/components/Button/examples/IconButton.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Button from '../Buton';

/**
 * IconButtonExample
 *
 * @component ../../Button
 */
export default class IconButtonExample extends Component {
  render() {
    let foo = <div>Icon</div>;

    return (
      <div>
        {foo}
        <Button></Button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

output

Running react-component-illustrator -p src/**/examples/*.js -f commonjs -v logges the following (modified/beautified for ease of reading)
