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 🙏

GitHub license npm version PRs Welcome

react-use-please-stay at work

A React hook that animates the document title and/or favicon when focus from the page is lost. (Or configure it to always animate! 😉)

Interactive Demo

A fully interactive demo is here.

Getting Started

Install and save this package as a dependency:

npm install --save react-use-please-stay

Import the hook with:

import { usePleaseStay } from 'react-use-please-stay';

Use it within your functional component! (It has return type of void, so you can just call it):

usePleaseStay({ titles: ["Don't go!", 'We have React hooks!'] });

Options

Options for the hook are passed via an object of type UsePleaseStayOptions (click me!).

Examples

Minimal example, passing the single required option titles:

function App() {
  usePleaseStay({ titles: ["Don't go!", 'We have React hooks!'] });
  return (
    <>
      <h1>usePleaseStay</h1>
      <p>
        An example of the usePleaseStay hook. Leaving this browser tab open, navigate
        or open another tab and watch the magic happen!
      </p>
    </>
  );
}

export default App;

Loop through multiple messages:

usePleaseStay({
  titles: ["Don't go!", 'We have React hooks!', "We're sad!", 'Come back!'],
});

Pass a single message and set the animationType option to AnimationType.CASCADE to cascade the letters (default is AnimationType.LOOP):

usePleaseStay({
  titles: ["React App"],
  animationType: AnimationType.CASCADE
});

Optionally specify a slower interval time in milliseconds (default is 1000):

usePleaseStay({
  titles: ["Don't go!", 'We have React hooks!', "We're sad!", 'Come back!'],
  interval: 3000,
});

Optionally add in one or more favicon URIs to loop through each time the title changes (default is []):

usePleaseStay({
  titles: ["Don't go!", 'We have React hooks!', "We're sad!", 'Come back!'],
  interval: 3000,
  faviconURIs: ['https://redux.js.org/img/favicon/favicon.ico'],
});

Optionally have the animation always run with the alwaysRunAnimations (default is false):

usePleaseStay({
  titles: ["Don't go!", 'We have React hooks!', "We're sad!", 'Come back!'],
  interval: 3000,
  faviconURIs: ['https://redux.js.org/img/favicon/favicon.ico'],
  alwaysRunAnimations: true,
});

That's about it for all possible configurations. Just remember that since this hook interacts with document.title directly it should only be called only once in your app, for example in a layout or App component - otherwise the title animation will not be smooth and things could get... strange.

Known Issues

In some frameworks like GatsbyJS, the document.title is injected some time after the hook mounts and thus the default title set when returning to the page is sometimes wrong.

This causes incorrect behavior only in development environments. There are no issues in the production builds.

JQuery Implementation

For those interested, the only JQuery implementation I could find was in this GitHub gist. I'm not sure if there is an official package out there for either a vanilla JavaScript or jQuery version; I couldn't find either.
