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

React-radio-group

npm install react-radio-group

Then either import {RadioGroup, Radio} from 'react-radio-group' or add node_modules/react-radio-group/umd/index.js into your HTML file (exports the RadioGroup global which contains both, the RadioGroup and Radio component.).

What This Solves

This is your average radio buttons group:

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="fruit" value="apple" />Apple
  <input type="radio" name="fruit" value="orange" />Orange
  <input type="radio" name="fruit" value="watermelon" />Watermelon
</form>

A few problems:

  • Repetitive fields (name, type, checked, onChange).
  • Hard to set the checked value. You need to put e.g. checked={'apple' === this.state.selectedFruitName} on every input.
  • Hard to retrieve the selected value.

Here's a better version (full example here)

<RadioGroup name="fruit" selectedValue={this.state.selectedValue} onChange={this.handleChange}>
  <Radio value="apple" />Apple
  <Radio value="orange" />Orange
  <Radio value="watermelon" />Watermelon
</RadioGroup>

Repetitive fields are either lifted onto the RadioGroup wrapper or already implicitly set on the Radio component, which is a simple wrapper around the radio input.

Formal API

<RadioGroup />

Exposes 5 optional props:

  • name: String: what you'd normally put on the radio inputs themselves.
  • selectedValue: String | Number | Boolean: the currently selected value. This will be used to compare against the values on the Radio components to select the right one.
  • onChange: Function: will be passed the newly selected value.
  • Component: String | React Component: defaults to "div", defines what tag or component is used for rendering the RadioGroup
  • children: Node: define your Radios and any other components. Each Radio component (a thin wrapper around input) within a RadioGroup will have some fields like type, name and checked prefilled.

<Radio />

Any prop you pass onto it will be transferred to the actual input under the hood. Radio components cannot be used outside a RadioGroup
