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

ToolWindow

Provides a mechanism for tool windows in the browser. Tool windows are dialogs which are:

  • non-modal
  • resizable
  • mobile
  • closeable
  • display content to the user
  • have one or more actions the user may perform via buttons in a button bar

Right now, this project needs some documentation. And much refactoring, since the code originally came from an upstream author with a singular intent (see credits). See the demo/index.html file for some in-browser usage.

Usage

Use this as a node module via require or use this as a standalone javascript file by grabbing the toolwindow.js from dist. The provided toolwindow.css mimicks the styling of a Windows 10 window. If you'd like something else, feel free to use that as a template (:

The code:

ToolWindows are re-usable and will thus "remember" their position if closed and re-opened. To create a new ToolWindow, simply do something like:

var toolWindow = new ToolWindow({
  top: 120,
  left: 120, // optional: when no top or left are given, this window attempts to center itself
  width: 200, // starting width
  height: 250, // starting height
  minWidth: 150, // don't go thinner than this
  minHeight: 200, // don't go shorter than this
  closeButtonText:  "\u2716", // ✖
  placement: "inside,auto",
  relativeToElement: "#container",
  animated: true,
  animationTime: 1000,
  content: {
    // simple text content -- you can also use "html" or "url" (more on that later) 
    type: "text",
    value: "Hello World!"
  },
  title: "Demo window", // goes in the title bar,
  buttons: [{
    text: "Dismiss",
    clicked: function() {
        // button click handlers are invoked with the toolwindow as the `this` parameter
        this.hide();
      }
    }, {
      text: "Refresh",
      clicked: function() {
        // note that we can completely replace the content
        // here and that content.value can be any one of:
        // - string
        // - function producing a string
        // - async function producing a string (ie, promise)
        this.title = 'New title of demo window';
        this.content = {
          type: "html",
          value: "<hr/>This is html<hr/>"
        };
        // optionally fit to content
        //this.fitContent(); 
        this.refresh();
      }
    }]
});
  • By default, if you do not specify any buttons, you will get a "Close" button, which, like the [X] in the titlebar of the window, will close it.
  • If you specifically want no buttons, pass an empty array as the buttons and the button bar will be left out too
  • possible types for content are:
    • text (plain text)
    • html (rendered html)
    • url (embed an iframe with this url)
  • use the node module if you have a build system, or use toolwindow.min.js from the dist folder if you'd just like a global ToolWindow prototype.

Why?

Because I need it for a client and I figure:

  • it might be useful elsewhere
  • it might be useful to someone else
  • it originated in freely available code (though much has changed) so I wanted to give back
  • for interest' sake, I would like to extend it beyond the minimal requirements and maintain it too

It doesn't work or looks wonky

  • have you included toolwindow.css in your site (or imported into sass)?
  • if you're getting errors, I'd like to know about them (:

Ew, it looks like Windows 10

Ok, so you're not a windows-lover. It is the most common OS out there though, so if I'm going to make a base style, it makes sense. Still, toolwindow.css is fairly simple to work with -- I'm quite sure one could create a theme more like the hosting system or one's favorite OS / window manager.

Tests:

Visual only. Contributions welcome.
