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 🙏

Readme

renderfunc

renderfunc is a small library used to render dynamic collections into the DOM. The focus of this library is being very small and very fast.

Getting Started

npm install --save renderfunc

Example

This library consists of a single exported function: renderList, which takes a list of items to render. An item has these properties:

interface RenderItem<T> {
    id: string; // the ID of data, which controls creating new DOM elements
    data: T;    // data to render
}

For instance, if we wanted to render a list of names, we might create them like this:

const names = ['sally', 'george', 'maria'];
const items: RenderItem<string>[] = names.map(name => ({ id: name, data: name }));

These items can be passed into renderList, which has this signature:

function renderList<T>(
    container: HTMLElement,     // The parent container to render in
    options: {
        items: RenderItem<T>[], // The items to render
        tag?: string,           // The HTML tag, defaults to `div`.
        onCreate?: (el: HTMLElement, item: RenderItem<T>) => (() => void) | void, // Called when a new element is created
        onUpdate?: (el: HTMLElement, item: RenderItem<T>) => void,                // Called for every element, whether new or existing
    },
) {

Putting this all together, we can render the names:

import { RenderItem, renderList } from 'renderfunc'

let renderCount = 0;
function render() {
    renderCount += 1;

    const names = ['sally', 'george', 'maria'];
    const items: RenderItem<string>[] = names.map(name => ({ id: name, data: name }));

    const container = document.getElementById('container')!;

    renderList(
        container,
        {
            items,
            onCreate: (el, item) => { console.log('Element', item.data, 'created') },
            onUpdate: (el, item) => {
                console.log('Element', item.data, 'updated');
                el.textContent = item.data + ' ' + renderCount;
            },
        },
    );
}

In this example, the names will be rendered everytime render is called. The first time render is called, onCreate will be called for each name. For every subsequent call to render, only onUpdate will be called. After 3 calls, the HTML will look something like this:

<div id="container">
    <div class="...">sally 3</div>
    <div class="...">george 3</div>
    <div class="...">maria 3</div>
</div>
