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

use-validate-form

This package exposes useFormValidation, a custom react hook for validating form input.

Usage

You can import and use useValidateForm like this:

import {
  useValidateForm,
  isRequired
} from 'use-validate-form'

const fields = {
  name: {initialValue: '', validators: [isRequired], type: 'string'}
  age: {initialValue: '', validators: [isRequired], type: 'number'}
}

const [
  {
    fields: { name, age },
    isValid,
    hasErrors,
  },
  dispatch
] = useValidateForm(fields)

Each item in the validators arrays must be an objects with a) a func property which takes the new value, the field's type, and an object containing all fields as arguments, and returns true or false and b) an error property which is a string that will explain to a user why their input is invalid.

(value, type, allFields) => value > allFields.otherField.value

Each of the field objects returned by useValidateForm (i.e. name, age) have the following properties:

const {
  value, // value of field
  type, // string
  isValid, // boolean
  isDirty, // boolean
  errors, // array of strings
  name, // string
  validators // array of validtor objects
} = age

The dispatch function takes an action of type SET_VALUE or VALIDATE. This allows you to set the value of a field onChange event but only validate (show errors) onBlur.

<input
  onChange={(event) => dispatch({type: 'SET_VALUE', {name: 'age', value: event.target.value}})}
  onBlur={(event) => dispatch({type: 'VALIDATE', {name: 'age', value: event.target.value}})}
/>

The name property of the action must match the name property from the field which was originally passed into useValidateForm.
