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

snowpack-plugin-relative-css-urls

A plugin for Snowpack that lets you use relative URLs in your CSS, like this:

.button {
  background-image: url(./icon.png);
}

The above CSS assumes your directory structure looks something like this:

PROJECT ROOT
+-src
  +-components
    +-Button
      +-index.js
      +-button.css
      +-icon.png

If you like to keep your assets together with your components, this makes it possible to reference them within your CSS.

This has also been tested with Svelte via @snowpack/plugin-svelte.

Usage

Requires Snowpack v2.15.0+

Install

yarn add -D snowpack-plugin-relative-css-urls

Configuration

Add this plugin to your Snowpack config:

snowpack.config.json

{
  "plugins": ["snowpack-plugin-relative-css-urls"]
}

Why is this necessary?

CSS normally allows relative images. It does so through a "baseURI" property--a read-only property that is set when CSS files are loaded by the browser. This allows a CSS file's internal url() references to refer to assets relative to the CSS file, NOT the path of the current page (i.e. the HTML file).

When snowpack adds *.css.proxy.js files in place of *.css files, it injects a style tag with the CSS corresponding to the .css file into the page. Everything works EXCEPT relative url() paths, because there is no way to set the style tag's baseURI.
