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 🙏

Bounding Box Calculator for AI exported SVG

This module calculates the bounding box of SVG shape elements. SVG shape elements includes <circle>, <ellipse>, <line>, <path>, <polygon>, <polyline>, <rect>. It works best for SVG documents exported from Adobe Illustrator. The test only covers files from Illustrator. It assumes all the property values are valid.

What it doesn't do

~~The bounding box the module calculates doesn't exactly match the real one in some cases, we'll cover this in a later section. If you want a precise solution, this module is not for you.~~

This module doesn't account for the position of an embedded SVG document, meaning the result is relative to the SVG document's top left corner.

Since Illustrator always adds transform property on shape elements (when you save as SVG using "Presentation Attributes" for CSS Properties option), not on groups (the <g> tag), this module doesn't take nested transform into consideration.

A word for non-exact matching bounding box

The result returned by this module should be the same as the browers' getBoundingClientRect does. Again, the coordinates is relative to the SVG document, not the HTML document, if you see a difference.

Browers doesn't return the exact bounding box in the following situations.

  • Rotated <ellipse>;
  • <path> which has control points exceeding the real bounding box;
  • Maybe more situations that I haven't found.

Neither does this module by default. See 2 special cases shown below.

The boundingRectOfPath(path:Object, shouldReturnTrueBounding:Boolean=false) method provided by this module accepts a second argument. If set to true, it returns the actual bounding box of the <path>. Otherwise, the result bounding box is determined by the anchor points and control points.

An example is shown below. The actual bounding box is marked in green. Whereas the browsers give you the orange one when calling getBoundingClientRect on this <path id="heart"> element.

var heart = svgDocument.getElementById('heart');

// Get the orange bounding box
boundingRectOfPath(heart);

// Get the green boudning box
boundingRectOfPath(heart, true);

Bounding box issue for path elements

Likewise, the boundingRectOfEllipse(ellipse:Object, shouldReturnTrueBounding:Boolean=false) method also accepts a second argument. See the example below.

var rotatedEllipse = svgDocument.getElementById('rotated');

// Get the orange bounding box
boundingRectOfEllipse(rotatedEllipse);

// Get the green bounding box
boundingRectOfEllipse(rotatedEllipse, true);
