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 🙏

wd-query

v0.2.0

jQuery style selectors for wd promises.

tl;dr

In selenium tests with wd, wouldn't it be nice if you could do this:

browser.init()
  .then(function(){
    return $('#email-input').val('[email protected]');
  })
  .then(function(){
    return $('#password-input').val('some_password');
  })
  .then(function(){
    return $('#login-form').submit();
  })
  .then(function(){
    return $('.loggedIn').isDisplayed('loggedIn');
  })
  .then(function(body){
    assert.ok(body);
    browser.quit();
  });

Why jQuery?

Because selector's make sense and so does chaining. Approaching selenium webdriver interactions as starting with selectors makes it easy to combine multi-step sequences into terse and expressive statements.

By mapping wd's webdirver API in chainable constructor, a jQuery-esque API is possible with very little code. This is not jQuery. It just looks like it.

Why wd promises?

Because the nested callback style is unruly for anything complex. Promises are also portable--they can be easily passed around between functions and scopes.

By using the wd promise interface wd-query is able to chain multiple async calls into a unified, selector-driven syntax.

Usage

To use, just pass an initialized wd instance (called browser by convention) to the function exported by wd-query. Note that you must be use wd.promiseRemote.

var wd = require('wd');
var wdQuery = require('wd-query');

var browser = wd.promiseRemote( ... );
var $ = wdQuery(browser);

browser.init()
  .then(function(){
    return $('.open-modal').click()
  })
  .then(function(){
    return $('#modal').get();
  })
  .then(function(elem){
    assert.ok(elem)
    browser.quit();
  });

If you've already called browser.init(), for instance at the start of your test suite, calls to wd-query instances can begin a promise chain.

$('.open-modal').click().then( ... )

Goals

The ultimate goal is to have pairity with the wd API for all actions that work with css selectors while adding support for selecting multiple elements.
