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 🙏

useLiveQuery for fenecdb: a query's rows over the database in the page, rendered again as they change

Readme

@fenecdb/react

useLiveQuery for fenecdb: a query's rows, rendered again every time they change -- over a database in the page alone, as the app's state, or over a replica synced from a server.

import { Fenec, persist, restore } from '@fenecdb/web';
import wasm from '@fenecdb/web/fenec.wasm?url';   // Vite; your bundler's asset import otherwise
import { FenecProvider, useFenec, useLiveQuery } from '@fenecdb/react';

const db = await Fenec.open(wasm);
if (!(await restore(db, 'todos'))) db.run('create collection todos (title text, done bool @hash)');

function Open() {
  const db = useFenec();
  const rows = useLiveQuery(db.from('todos').where('done', false).order('title'));
  if (rows === undefined) return <Spinner />;
  return rows.map((t) => (
    <li key={t.id} onClick={() => db.from('todos').where('id', t.id).update({ done: true })}>{t.title}</li>
  ));
}

<FenecProvider db={db}><Open /></FenecProvider>

The rows come from the database in the page, so no render waits on the network: live runs the query again after every write to a collection it reads, once for all the writes of a task, and the component renders what it answers. A write from an event handler is all it takes; persist(db, 'todos') keeps the state between visits.

The same components work over a synced replica, which also hears the writes other clients make through the server:

import { sync } from '@fenecdb/web';

const db = await sync({
  url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',                    // fenec-server --http
  shapes: [{ collection: 'todos' }],
  wasm,
  collation: '/collate/',                          // @fenecdb/web's collate/, served as static files
});

<FenecProvider db={db}><Open /></FenecProvider>

useLiveQuery is undefined until the first answer, and a query built again on every render does not subscribe again unless it asks something else. A query built with db.from(...) brings its database along; a FenecQL text runs on the provider's, and names what it reads: useLiveQuery('get todos count', { collections: ['todos'] }). A query that fails throws while rendering, to the nearest error boundary. A query that asks for facets has them on its rows, counted over every match, so a results list and its filter sidebar come from one hook:

const rows = useLiveQuery(db.from('products').match('title', text).facet('brand').limit(20));
// rows.facets.brand: [{ value: 'acme', count: 12 }, ...]

React is the one peer dependency; the database is @fenecdb/web's. Full reference: https://fenecdb.com/docs/javascript#state and https://fenecdb.com/docs/integrations
