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 🙏

Troika Three.js Utilities

This package provides various utilities for working with Three.js, particularly having to do with shaders. It is used by Troika 3D, but has no dependencies itself other than Three.js, so it can be used outside the Troika framework.

Installation

Get it from NPM:

npm install troika-three-utils

You will also need to install a compatible version of Three.js; see the notes on Three.js versions in the Getting Started docs for details.

npm install three

Provided Utilities

Several utilities are provided; for a full list follow the imports in index.js to their source files, where each is documented in JSDoc comments.

Some of the most useful ones are:

createDerivedMaterial()

This utility allows you to easily extend existing Three.js materials with your own custom shader code. This is an incredibly powerful tool, and is the secret behind most of Troika's shader-driven tools like troika-three-text, three-instanced-uniforms-mesh, and BezierMesh.

See the createDerivedMaterial documentation page and its source code with JSDoc for details.

BezierMesh

This creates a cylindrical mesh and bends it along a 3D cubic bezier path between two points, in a custom derived vertex shader. This is useful for visually connecting objects in 3D space with a line that has thickness to it.

See the BezierMesh documentation page and its source code with JSDoc for details.

InstancedUniformsMesh

NOTE: InstancedUniformsMesh has been moved to its own three-instanced-uniforms-mesh package.
