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-webp-converter

Easily convert PNG and JPG images to WebP format for improved image optimization and performance in React Native applications.

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior compression, saving on file size without compromising quality, making it ideal for mobile apps where performance and storage are key.

Features

  • PNG/JPG to WebP conversion.
  • Custom hook useConverter() for easy in-component conversion.
  • convertImage() method for more controlled use cases.
  • Configurable options for quality, type (lossy/lossless), and preset.

Demo

Quality comparison

Below is a top-to-bottom comparison, with the original image at the top and the compressed version at the bottom.

Low Quality Setting(quality = 5)

High Quality Settings(quality = 80)

Installation

npm install react-native-webp-converter

or

yarn add react-native-webp-converter

Usage

Using convertImage

import * as WebP from 'react-native-webp-converter'
import * as fs from 'react-native-fs';
import { useCallback, useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { ActivityIndicator, Image, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
  const [convertedImage, setConvertedImage] = useState('');

  const convertImage = useCallback(async () => {
    const inputPath = `path-to-my-local-image.png`;
    const outputPath = `${fs.CachesDirectoryPath}/my-image-converted.webp`;

    await WebP.convertImage(inputPath, outputPath, {
      quality: 80,
      type: WebP.Type.LOSSY,
      preset: WebP.Preset.PICTURE,
    });

    setConvertedImage(outputPath);
  }, []);

  useEffect(() => {
    convertImage();
  }, []);

  if (!convertedImage) return <ActivityIndicator />;

  return (
    <Image
      source={{ uri: `file://${convertedImage}` }}
      style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
      resizeMode="cover"
    />
  );
}
