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 🙏

Build Status

Plugin for React to make Backbone integration easier. Initialize your component with a Backbone.Model or Backbone.Collection; when the model or collection changes, #render will be called.

var UserViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({
    changeOptions: "change:name", // DEFAULT is "change",
    render: function() {
        return (
          <div>
              <h1>{this.getModel().get("name")}</h1>
          </div>
        );
    }
});

var user = new Backbone.Model();
var UserView = React.createFactory(UserViewComponent);
var userView = UserView({model: user});

// Mount your component directly
React.render(userView, document.getElementById('element'));

// Render as a subview
var ProfileViewComponent = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
      return (
        <div>
          <UserViewComponent model={this.props.user} />
        </div>
      );
  }
});

var ProfileView = React.createFactory(ProfileViewComponent);
var profileView = ProfileView({user: user});
React.render(profileView, document.getElementById('element'));

React.Backbone also plays nicely with Backbone.Collection. Anytime the add, remove, reset or sort events are triggered the component will re-render.

var UserViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({
  render: function() {
    return <li>{ this.getModel().get('name') }</li>;
  }
});

var UsersListViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({
    render: function() {
        var usersList = this.getCollection().map(function(user) {
            return <UserViewComponent model={user} />;
        });

        return (
          <div>
            <ul>
              { usersList }
            </ul>
          </div>
        );
    }
});

var usersList = new Backbone.Collection();
var UsersListView = React.createFactory(UsersListViewComponent);
var usersListView = UsersListView({collection: usersList});

React.render(usersListView, document.getElementById('users'));

If you need to use multiple models, you can do so by including the mixin multiple times:

var CommentViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({
    mixins: [

        // when the view is instantiated,
        // 'user' and 'comment' can be passed as props
        React.BackboneMixin("user", "change:name"),
        React.BackboneMixin("comment")
    ],
    render: function() {
        return (
          <div>
              <p>{this.props.comment.get("text")}</p>
              <p>{'posted by' + this.props.user.get("name")}</h1>
          </div>
        );
    }
});

var user = new Backbone.Model();
var comment = new Backbone.Model();
var CommentView = React.createFactory(CommentViewComponent);
var commentView = CommentView({user: user, comment: comment});

React.render(usersListView, document.getElementById('users'));

You can also pass an object with options to the included mixin:

React.BackboneMixin({
    propName: "user",
    renderOn: "change:name"
});

Or supply a custom callback to the option modelOrCollection to retrieve the property from the component's props:

React.BackboneMixin({
    modelOrCollection: function(props) {
        return props.comment.user;
    },
    renderOn: "change:name"
});

If your Collection or Model class does not inherit directly from Backbone.Model or Backbone.Collection, you may customize the behavior on a library level by overriding the React.BackboneMixin.ConsiderAsCollection function.

Return true if the object passed should behave as a collection.

React.BackboneMixin.ConsiderAsCollection = function (modelOrCollection) {
  return modelOrCollection instanceof Backbone.Collection || modelOrCollection instanceof MyCustomCollection;
}

Installation

Either download react.backbone.js or install the react.backbone package on Bower:

bower install --save react.backbone

You can either include react.backbone in a <script> tag (after you've included Backbone and React) or through RequireJS/AMD:

define(['backbone', 'react', 'react.backbone'], function(Backbone, React) {
    var UserViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({
        // ...
    });
});

Version 0.7.0 supports React >0.14 and Backbone >1.0; for React <0.14, check out versions 0.6.0 and prior. React Native is also supported, but only works with npm v3 (otherwise it will use the wrong React dependency).
