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-native-cronet: Chrome's networking stack for your react-native application

PRs Welcome License Known Vulnerabilities NPM Version

Cronet is the networking stack of Chromium put into a library for use on mobile. This is the same networking stack that is used in the Chrome browser by over a billion people. It offers an easy-to-use, high performance, standards-compliant, and secure way to perform HTTP requests. Cronet has support for both Android and iOS.

This module allows you to use the Cronet stack for your react native apps. Checkout default react-native vs react-native-cronet comparison on android when loading many images on a high lateceny and packetloss network

Support Matrix

| React Native | react-native-cronet | | :----------: | :-----------------: | | >=0.62 | 0.5.0 | | >=0.60 | 0.4.0 | | <0.60 | unsupported |

Getting started

Using npm:

npm install --save react-native-cronet

or using yarn:

yarn add react-native-cronet

Automatic installation

react-native-cronet will link automatically using the autolink.

Make sure to run pod install in your iOS folder to get the Cronet.framework dependency included.

Manual installation

iOS

  1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click LibrariesAdd Files to [your project's name]
  2. Go to node_modulesreact-native-cronet and add RNCronet.xcodeproj
  3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNCronet.a to your project's Build PhasesLink Binary With Libraries
  4. Add pod 'Cronet' as a dependency in your iOS Podfile and run pod install, alternatively manaually link Cronet.framework to your project
  5. Run your project (Cmd+R)<

Android

  1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java
  • Add import com.akshetpandey.rncronet.RNCronetPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
  • Add new RNCronetPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method
  1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:
    include ':react-native-cronet'
    project(':react-native-cronet').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-cronet/android')
  2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:
      compile project(':react-native-cronet')

Basic Usage

iOS

For iOS, you will have to disable bitcode for your target.

  • In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Build SettingsEnable BitcodeNo

Android

For Android, in your MainApplication.java, you will have to change how RN initializes FrescoModule by adding these lines:

import com.akshetpandey.rncronet.RNCronetFrescoImagePipelineConfig; // <--- ADD THIS
import com.facebook.imagepipeline.core.ImagePipelineConfig;         // <--- ADD THIS
import com.facebook.react.shell.MainPackageConfig;                  // <--- ADD THIS

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
    //...
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      ImagePipelineConfig pipelineConfig = RNCronetFrescoImagePipelineConfig.build(getApplicationContext());  // <--- ADD THIS
      MainPackageConfig config = new MainPackageConfig.Builder().setFrescoConfig(pipelineConfig).build();     // <--- ADD THIS
      List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this, config).getPackages();                              // <--- CHANGE THIS TO INCLUDE CONFIG
      // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
      return packages;
    }
    //...
  }
}

Advanced Usage

Although the library is capable of automatically configuring itself, you can also initialize the cronet engine based on your use case. One reason to do this would be to provide QUIC hints for your domain that you know supports QUIC, or to customize cache size and type.

Make sure this is done before the react native bridge gets initialized.

Nothing needs to be done on the JS side.

iOS

Somewhere in your app startup flow, ex. in AppDelegate.m, you can install an initializer block that can initialize the library for your requirements.

iOS documentation for the cronet library initialization is sparse, but you can look at Cronet/Cronet.h

#import <RCTCronetHTTPRequestHandler.h>
#import <Cronet/Cronet.h>

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  // ...

  [RCTCronetHTTPRequestHandler setCustomCronetBuilder:^{
    [Cronet setHttp2Enabled:YES];
    [Cronet setQuicEnabled:YES];
    [Cronet setBrotliEnabled:YES];
    [Cronet setHttpCacheType:CRNHttpCacheTypeDisk];

    [Cronet addQuicHint:@"www.google.com" port:443 altPort:443];

    [Cronet start];

    [Cronet registerHttpProtocolHandler];
  }];

  // ...
}

Android

Somewhere in your app startup flow, ex in MainActivity.java, you can install an initializer block that can initialize the library for your requirements.

Android documentation for the cronet library initialization is available in CronetEngine.Builder

import org.chromium.net.CronetEngine;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // ...
    RNCronetNetworkingModule.setCustomCronetBuilder(context -> {
        File cacheDir = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "cronet-cache");
        cacheDir.mkdirs();
        CronetEngine cronetEngine = new CronetEngine.Builder(context)
                .enableBrotli(true)
                .enableHttp2(true)
                .enableQuic(true)
                .setStoragePath(cacheDir.getAbsolutePath())
                .enableHttpCache(CronetEngine.Builder.HTTP_CACHE_DISK, 10 * 1024 * 1024)
                .addQuicHint("www.google.com", 443, 443)
                .build();
        URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(cronetEngine.createURLStreamHandlerFactory());
        return cronetEngine;
    });
    // ...
  }
}
