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 🙏

Introduction

Terrar.js offers HTML, CSS and JS isolations by using :

  • the SES library to create rights-less JS compartements
  • the native Proxy class to create parent-jailed HTMLElement objects
  • the native Shadow DOM API to create HTML & CSS isolated contexts
  • the Esprima library to prevent the encapsulated context from accessing disallowed objects

Installation

For server-side usage (NodeJS), Terrar.js can be installed like any NPM package :

npm install terrar

And then you can import it in your scripts using :

import "terrar";

For client-side usage (browser), simply put this <script> tag inside of your HTML document :

<script src="https://unpkg.com/terrar@latest"></script>

Usage

Like iframes, Terrar frames are a client-side way of isolating some content from the main context. However Terrar frames support SSR, which means that you can pre-populated frames with content generated on server side to reduces the amount of requests the page has to perform.

From JS

const content = `<!-- Your isolated HTML here -->`
terrar.createFrame(content)

From HTML

...
<terrar-frame src="https://isolated-content.here/index.html"></terrar-frame>
...

or

...
<terrar-frame>
  <template>
    <!-- Your isolated HTML here -->
  </template>
</terrar-frame>
...

Configuration

The preview Usage section simply shows how to insert an HTML content into a Terrar frame using the default configurations.

If the default configuration should fit most use cases, each Terrar frame can be me manually fine-grained configured to :

  • allow / restrict the usage of some tags
  • allow / restrict the usage of some properties
  • expose / hide function from the main context

Limitations

Since Terrar.js createx SES compartement instead of a whole new Realm (a new JS context) like iframes, at lot of external ressources may not lot because of their CORS policy.

So Terrar.js is especially useful with :

  • Contents you own but don't trust (e.g. user-provided HTML content)
  • Contents you dynamically generate from JS and want to prevent collisions between them
