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 🙏

Shim for requestIdleCallback

Readme

ric-shim

No Maintenance Intended

requestIdleCallback is awesome. I want to use it in my projects and install it from npm.

I was going to write a shim that would fallback to a simple setTimeout only to find that the awesome Paul Lewis had already done this.

But in addition to shimming it for browser use, I also wanted it to not break code if used from within node.js (falls back to setTimeout).

So... here we are.

I simply wrapped/published it for compatibility with npm-based frontend projects and changed it to not blow up if used in a node environment where window obviously won't be defined. Instead it simply checks to see if requestIdleCallback exists and uses it if it's there.

I didn't even write any tests!?!! The audacity! Yeah, I know. Deal with it. Or don't and use something else.

All credit for the actual fallback code goes to Paul Lewis. The original license is retained in a NOTICE file in my best efforts to comply with the original licensing. If I'm doing this wrong, just tell me and please love me despite my many flaws.

install

npm install ric-shim

example

import requestIdleCallback from 'ric-shim'

requestIdleCallback(() => {
  // do your thang!
})

Or if you're not into the fancy-pants ES6+ modules thing:

var requestIdleCallback = require('ric-shim')

requestIdleCallback(function () {
  // do your thang!
})

what about cancelling?

Yeah, you probably won't need it, but in case you do that's exported too, as a property of the main export:

import requestIdleCallback, { cancelIdleCallback } from 'ric-shim'

// do a thing!
const id = requestIdleCallback(doSomething)

// just kidding, nevermind
cancelIdleCallback(id)

Or node-style:

var requestIdleCallback = require('ric-shim')
var cancel = requestIdleCallback.cancelIdleCallback

// do a thing!
var id = requestIdleCallback(doSomething)

// just kidding, nevermind
cancel(id)
