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

Sprint.js

This is a fork of Benjamin De Cock's original repository. Our goal is to push the development of Sprint further and merge back sometime in the future.

Sprint is a high-performance, 5KB (gzipped) DOM library for modern browsers. Sprint notably shines on bandwidth and resource constrained devices such as phones and tablets.

Sprint has a familiar, jQuery-like chainable API:

$("div").addClass("new").append("<p>Hi Sprint</p>");

Installation

Download the minified version and include it in your page.

<script src="sprint.min.js"></script>

Alternatively you can install Sprint via npm and import it, for example to use it with your existing build system.

npm install sprint-js

Philosophy

Sprint is an alternative—not a replacement—for jQuery. jQuery offers more features, handles more edge cases and supports more browsers. Sprint is just a thin layer making the DOM friendlier without sacrificing on performance.

Performance

Sprint relies on newer APIs supported by modern browsers (read: IE10+) and optimizes a bunch of other things in order to provide you with fast DOM operations.

Here are a few performance tests of some popular methods (Chrome 42, OS X 10.10.3) :

.add()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.attr()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.css()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.has()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.map()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.next()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.not()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.parents()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.position()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.slice()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

.text()

jsperf results

→ View on jsperf

Thanks to its reduced feature set, Sprint is also a lot faster to parse and execute (about 40 times faster than jQuery).

API

The methods supported by Sprint are, for the most part, identical to jQuery's. The few small differences with jQuery are explained below. If nothing is mentioned, you can assume jQuery's documentation applies.
