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 🙏

gdrive-appdata

Javascript utility to store application data to Google Drive app data folder.

Including it in your app

The distribution file is inside the dist folder (gdad.js). Including that file in your html file will expose a global variable named gdad which is a factory.

Creating app data API

var appData = gdad('your_file_name.json', 'YOUR_APP_CLIENT_ID')

API

The API consists of 2 straight forward methods: read and save. Usually, the flow is: reading app data at the start of your app, and then save the data at some point in your app life cycle.

Reading app data

appData.read().then(function (data) {
  // do something with data here
}, function () {
  // handle error (show UI button and try to read again; this time it will show the authorize popup)
});

When the user has not authorized your app to save data in the google drive, read will fail on first call. When this happens, you must show an UI element (usually a button), on click of this element you should call appData.read() again, and this time it will show the authorize popup.

Saving app data

appData.save(data);

data must be a serializable object (JSON.stringify must not fail on it)

What happens under the hood

read has the following flow: authorize, load drive api, get app data file id or create app data file and get its id, and, finally, read app data.

save has the same flow, except it saves the app data at the end.
