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

Tappify.js

A lightweight zero dependency React.js library to handle the client's pointer. Easily detect client cursor type and hide/show html or perform custom logic!

Install

npm i tappify

Getting started

Basic hide/show

import Tappify from "tappify";

function myComponent() {
  return <>
    <Tappify.Finger>
      Client is using finger 👉 *tap tap*
    </Tappify.Finger>

    <Tappify.Cursor>
      Client is using mouse cursor 🖱️ *click click*
    </Tappify.Cursor>
  </>
}

Get the current pointer type

const isCursor = Tappify.isCursor(); // will be true if the pointer is mouse cursor. False if it's finger

Subscribe to pointer change

const unsubscribe = Tappify.subscribe(isCursor => {

  if (isCursor) console.log("This client is now using a cursor");
  else console.log("This client is now using a touch screen");
  
});

unsubscribe(); // it's strongly recommended to unsubscribe when component unmounts to avoid memory leaks

Live demo

Why Tappify?

With growing usage of touch screens on computer devices Tappify makes it seamless and easy to detect when user goes in or out of touch mode. In addition tappify provides an easy to use switch case scenario to handle different HTML elements depending on what pointer the client is using.

Tappify is completely event driven, that means no clocks/setintervals/requestAnimationFrame making it very preferment. It makes use of css's native @media condition to avoid any edge case bugs that JavaScript solutions might invoke.

How Tappify works

Tappify uses @media pointer rule to determine the pointer type. If a pointer change is detected the pointerChange event will be dispatched on window and thereafter notifying subscribers and updating the <Tappify.Cursor> and <Tappify.Finger> components.
