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

wordpos-web

NPM version

CDNs:

wordpos is a set of fast part-of-speech (POS) utilities for Node.js and browser using fast lookup in the WordNet database.

wordpos-web formats the WordNet DB files to allow running wordpos in the browser.

📣 Demo

Installation

 npm install wordpos-web

wordpos API Docs

See wordpos/README.

Running inside the browsers

v2.0 of wordpos introduces the capability of running in the browser. The dictionary files are optimized for fast access (lookup by lemma), but they must be fetched, parsed and loaded into browser memory. The files are loaded on-demand (unless the option preload: true is given).

The dict files can be served locally or from CDN (see samples/cdn). Include the following scripts in your index.html:

<script src="wordpos/dist/wordpos.min.js"></script>
<script>
  let wordpos = new WordPOS({
    // preload: true,
    dictPath: '/wordpos/dict',
    profile: true
  });

  wordpos.getAdverbs('this is lately a likely tricky business this is')
    .then(res => {
      console.log(res); // ["lately", "likely"]
    });
</script>

Above assumes wordpos is installed to the directory ./wordpos. ./wordpos/dict holds the index and data WordNet files generated for the web in a postinstall script.

See samples/self-hosted.

Using preload option

When running inside the browse, you can request that the necessary index & data files be preloaded, rather than loaded on demand.

Use this when you're sure the files will be used and want to minimize the on-demand wait time.

let wordpos = new WordPOS({
  preload: 'a',       // Preload adjectives index file.
  includeData: true,  // Also preload the adjectives data file.
  dictPath: '/wordpos/dict'
});

wordpos.ready().then(()=> {
  // files are loaded
});

See wordpos#options for other preload options.

A note on file sizes

The original WordNet DB is around 35 MB. The size of the "index" and "data" files formatted for the web are as follows (before any compression):

| POS | data | index | | --- | --- | --- | | adverbs | 525 KB | 170 KB | | verbs | 2.7 MB | 534 KB | | adjectives | 3.1 MB | 851 KB | | nouns | 15 MB🚩 | 4.8 MB | | All (raw) | 21.3 MB | 6.4 MB | | All (gzip) | ~6 MB | 1.7 MB |

🚩 Be aware this is a very large file and may take some time to fetch.

Resources fetched over CDN will be compressed. For example, the compressed noun files are 4.1 MB (data) and 1.3 MB (index). If you are self-hosting, ensure gzip compression is on for your server.

Some wordpos API need just the "index" file, while others need both. Here's the breakdown:

| API | data | index | | --- | --- | --- | | get?() | ✖️ | ✔️ | | is?() | ✖️ | ✔️ | | lookup?() | ✔️ | ✔️ | | seek() | ✔️ | ✔️ | | rand?() | ✖️ | ✔️ |

The following API will access all POS files:

  • getPOS() -- all index files
  • lookup() -- all index files & data files for matched word
  • rand() -- all index files

Dev

To run samples, npm i -g http-server, then:

$ npm run build
$ npm run start
Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
  http://localhost:8080

and open your browser to that url.

Changes

  • 1.0.2 - Build samples/ to docs/.
  • 1.0.1 - Fix self-hosted sample dict/ path
  • 1.0.0 - Initial web version
