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 🙏

varam

🟣 online

change CSS var via URL param

mention desired param

place data-varam on any scope to represent CSS var

<samp data-varam="oil ink">
  • only scoped mentions will change
  • scope page via root
<html data-varam="oil ink">
  • combine data with URL params to update matching var
  • combining ?oil=olive&ink=black would style each var
--oil: olive;
--ink: black;

var your style

background: var(--oil);
color: var(--ink);

code sensible default style

font-size: var(--size, 1em);
writing-mode: var(--mode, horizontal-tb);

code hyperlinks with &amp;

?oil=orange&amp;ink=black

javascript

automagic

🚥 varam automagically runs when you load varam.js

<script async src="varam.js"></script>
  • URL params are read and only read
  • CSS var are updated where matching
  • async or defer to your desire

updating

  • performant updating
  • we minimize reflow
  • just load the script to go with the flow with real URL
  • updaters return boolean whether reflow expected
  • update if you change dom (otherwise no need)

updaters

  • varam.flow() automagic does varam(location.search) with real URL
  • varam.reset() to reset state like varam("") but leave URL alone
  • varam.fresh(...) is how varam performantly interacts with style

boolean

  • true when update was made
  • false when update needless

help

varam.help() for help in your console

diagnostic

  • varam.meta content interpreted
  • varam.state latest state
  • varam.via paramethod "flow" or "meta"

staging

  • default checks location.search not meta
  • staging meta simulates alternate search
  • omit meta unless you're staging
<meta name="varam" content="oil=purple">
