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-text-on-svg

React component that draws an svg box with text on it.

Features

It's a very easy to use React component, but it already has many possibile configurations:

  • Height
  • Width
  • Text width inside the rectangle
  • Font size
  • Font weight
  • Font family
  • Custom class name
  • Background color
  • Text color

Installation

Install the package with either yarn or npm.

With yarn:

$ yarn add react-text-on-svg

With npm:

$ npm install --save react-text-on-svg

Usage

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import TextOnSvg from 'react-text-on-svg';

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <TextOnSvg
        className="text-on-svg"
        text="I am inside the rectangle, and wrapping!"
        width={512}
        height={448}
        textWidth={0.8}
        fontSize={48}
        fontWeight={500}
        fontFamily="OpenSans-Semibold, Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"
        backgroundColor="#417505"
        color="#FFFFFF"
      />
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Parameter types are as follows:

  • className: string
  • text: string
  • width: integer number
  • height: integer number
  • textWidth: floating point number - this is used as a percentage, see below
  • fontSize: integer number
  • fontWeight: integer number
  • fontFamily: string
  • backgroundColor: string
  • color: string

textWidth is a percentage of the rectangle width. For example, if you pass 0.8 as text width, the text will use 80% of the rectangle width, always centered horizontally.

Why u do dis

This component started as a way to experiment using svg elements inside React elements. I wanted to see how easy it could be to create something like Facebook's new posts with colored background. The outcome is not equal to theirs, but it's really close and it could definitely become equivalent by putting more work into this.

Future developments

I have a couple things in mind that could make this more useful:

  • Allowing gradients as a background
  • Automatically scale down font size if the text is too long
  • Being able to output also as an image (png for example)
