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 🙏

Renderer agnostic utility for drawing text along a path.

Getting started

The ES2015 way

To add the dependency to your project, run

npm install --save textpath

To use in your code, type

import textPath from 'textpath';

The vanilla JavaScript way

Include the following script tag in your HTML:

<script src="http://unpkg.com/textpath/dist/textpath.js"></script>

API

textPath

To render text to a CanvasRenderingContext2D, use something like the following code:

var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

var path = [[20, 33], [40, 31], [60, 30], [80, 31], [100, 33]];

function measureText(text) {
  return ctx.measureText(text).width;
}

function draw(letter, x, y, angle) {
  ctx.save();
  ctx.translate(x, y);
  ctx.rotate(angle);
  ctx.fillText(letter, 0, 0);
  ctx.restore();
}

textPath('My text path :-)', path, measureText, draw);

Parameters

  • text string Text to draw along the path.
  • path Array<Array<number>> Path represented in coordinate pairs.
  • measure Function Function that takes a text as argument and returns the width of the provided text.
  • draw Function Function that takes a letter, its x coordinate, y coordinate and angle (in radians) as arguments. It is typically used to draw the provided letter to a canvas.
  • textAlign string Text alignment along the path. One of 'left', 'center', 'right'. (optional, default 'center')
