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 🙏

TabLink

Dispatch data and events to other browser tabs on the same domain.

npm install tablink

API

Dispatching

Send a message to all other open tabs. If the optional argument includeOwnTab is set to true, the event will also be handled in the current tab doing the dispatching.

tablink.dispatch(type, payload[, includeOwnTab]);

type
A case-sensitive string representing the event type.

payload
A string or an object of data. Anything that can be sent through JSON.stringify/parse.

includeOwnTab
Optional boolean. If true, the event will also be handled on the current tab.

Example:

tablink.dispatch('DISPLAY_LOGOUT_MODAL', {
  type: 'SESSION_TIMEOUT'
}, true);

Event listeners

tablink.on(type, listener);

type(String)
A case-sensitive string representing the event type to listen for.

listener (Function)
A callback function that receives the payload as its argument.

To remove the listener, invoke the function returned by on.

Example:

let unsubscribe = tablink.on('DISPLAY_LOGOUT_MODAL', (payload) => {
  showModal(payload.type);
});

// to stop listening
unsubscribe();

Subscribing to all events

tablink.subscribe(listener)

listener (Function)
The callback to be invoked any time an action has been dispatched

Adds a change listener. It will be called any time any action is dispatched. To unsubscribe, invoke the function returned by subscribe.

Example:

let unsubscribe = tablink.subscribe((type, payload) => {
	switch (type) {
		case 'TEST':
			// When a type of TEST is dispatched...
			break;
	}
});

// To unsubscribe
unsubscribe();
