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

load-js

A small function for loading a js file before running code.

This function is ideal for loading up something like a polyfill before running code that is dependant on that polyfill.

Install

Install using npm which comes bundled with Node.js.

npm i @dan503/load-js

Usage

// Import using one of these 2 methods
import loadJS from '@dan503/load-js' // ES Module import syntax
var loadJS = require('@dan503/load-js').default // Common JS import syntax

// Use the first parameter to point to where the external js file needs to be downloaded from.
loadJS('https://www.website.com/js-file.js', () => {
	// The 2nd parameter is a callback function.
	// The callback will be called once the JS file has finished downloading.
})

Key features

Call multiple times, only download the file once

It will only ever download the target file once per page load even if called multiple times.

Trigger callback immediately if the file is already downloaded

If the script has already been downloaded, it will trigger the callback function immediately in a synchronous fashion.

Callbacks retain source order

It will call all of the callbacks in the order that they were declared in when the script has finished loading.

Super simple syntax

As you can see from the usage example above, the usage syntax is extremely simple and easy to remember.

Quality assured with Cypress tests

This project uses Cypress end to end tests to ensure the function does what it is supposed to.

Supports TypeScript

This function has been written in TypeScript so it has full TypeScript support built in.
