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-navigation-focus-render

Screens within a stack or in tabs will still render when any global state(Redux/Context etc) is updated. This component lets you avoid these renders when the screens are inactive.

Installation

npm i react-navigation-focus-render --save

Usage

import FocusRender from 'react-navigation-focus-render'

const ExpensiveComponent = () => {
   const {count} = useCount(); // something that hooks into changing state
   
   return (
     <FocusRender>
       ... Components
     </FocusRender>
   ) 
}

Advanced usage

You may wish to add a wrapper component that displays differently whilst the inactive component hydrates its state when the screen becomes active.

You can specify a Wrapper component that takes isFocused as a property.

import FocusRender from 'react-navigation-focus-render'

const Wrapper = ({isFocused, children}) => (
  <View style={{opacity: isFocused ? 1 : 0.5}}>{children}</View>
);

const ExpensiveComponent = () => {
   const {count} = useCount(); // something that hooks into changing state
   
   return (
     <FocusRender Wrapper={Wrapper}>
       ... Components
     </FocusRender>
   ) 
}

Example

You can see the example project to see this working.

HomeScreen:

  • Contains an expensive component that renders 5000 text elements and is connected to redux state "count"
  • You can toggle between rendering the component via FocusRender or just by itself

TabScreen

  • Contains a screen with a button that updates state "count"

Given this simple example, the difference in performance when updating state can be measured using https://github.com/Flagsmith/react-native-performance-monitor.

Of course, this is quite an extreme example but given an active stack of many tabs / screens this could easily add up if you have complex components.
