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

vinyl-view NPM version NPM monthly downloads NPM total downloads Linux Build Status

Extends vinyl with render and compile methods, and properties used for rendering templates.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save vinyl-view

Usage

Use the same way you would use a vinyl file:

var View = require('vinyl-view');
var view = new View({path: 'foo'});

API

View

Create an instance of View. Optionally pass a default object to use.

Params

  • view {Object}

Example

var view = new View({
  path: 'foo.html',
  contents: new Buffer('...')
});

.compile

Synchronously compile a view.

Params

  • locals {Object}: Optionally pass locals to the engine.
  • returns {Object} View: instance, for chaining.

Example

var view = page.compile();
view.fn({title: 'A'});
view.fn({title: 'B'});
view.fn({title: 'C'});

.renderSync

Synchronously render templates in view.content.

Params

  • locals {Object}: Optionally pass locals to the engine.
  • returns {Object} View: instance, for chaining.

Example

var view = new View({content: 'This is <%= title %>'});
view.renderSync({title: 'Home'});
console.log(view.content);

.render

Asynchronously render templates in view.content.

Params

  • locals {Object}: Context to use for rendering templates.

Example

view.render({title: 'Home'}, function(err, res) {
  //=> view object with rendered `content`
});

.context

Create a context object from locals and the view.data and view.locals objects. The view.data property is typically created from front-matter, and view.locals is used when a new View() is created.

This method be overridden either by defining a custom view.options.context function to customize context for a view instance, or static View.context function to customize context for all view instances.

Params

  • locals {Object}: Optionally pass a locals object to merge onto the context.
  • returns {Object}: Returns the context object.

Example

var page = new View({path: 'a/b/c.txt', locals: {a: 'b', c: 'd'}});
var ctx = page.context({a: 'z'});
console.log(ctx);
//=> {a: 'z', c: 'd'}

.isType

Returns true if the view is the given viewType. Returns false if no type is assigned. When used with vinyl-collections, types are assigned by their respective collections.

Params

  • type {String}: (renderable, partial, layout)

Example

var view = new View({path: 'a/b/c.txt', viewType: 'partial'})
view.isType('partial');

.View.context

Define a custom static View.context function to override default .context behavior. See the context docs for more info.

Params

  • locals {Object}
  • returns {Object}

Example

// custom context function
View.context = function(locals) {
  // `this` is the view being rendered
  return locals;
};
