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-lifecycle-component

A higher order component that accepts lifecycle hook functions as props

Allows you to wrap pure functional components so that you can take advantage of lifecycle hooks without having to create a new HOC each time to wrap your component.

npm install react-lifecycle-component --save

Problem

There are many times when you've written a pure functional component but you also need to trigger some data loading on componentDidMount or similar.

There's 2 main options when this happens. Either convert your PFC to a class or create a higher-order-component that does the lifecycle work and renders your component.

This small component takes the work out of option 2.

Solution

A Redux example:

Rather than creating a new HOC and doing this:

class Wrapper extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.props.getAllTehDatas();
  }

  render() {
    return <WrappedComponent {...this.props} />;
  }
}

const mapStateToProps = () => ({
  // ...
});

const mapDispatchToProps = {
  getAllTehDatas
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Wrapper);

Using this small utility component we can do:

const mapStateToProps = () => ({
  component: WrappedComponent
});

const mapDispatchToProps = {
  componentDidMount: getAllTehDatas
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(LifecycleComponent);

To make matters clearer, you may not want to pass your component via the component prop and may instead want to wrap your component in a function call that wraps it in a LifecycleComponent.

We provide applyLifecycle for this purpose and it can be used as: export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(applyLifecycle(WrappedComponent))

Composed this looks like:

const composed = compose(connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps), applyLifecycle);

export default composed(WrappedComponent);

Redux

To help make this easier we also provide a redux helper that does this composition for you. The interface is therefore the same as connect.

export default connectWithLifecycle(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(WrappedComponent);

We only pass the props to WrappedComponent that are intended for that component. We don't pass any of the lifecycle hook props and we don't forward the component prop on.
