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 🙏

v1.19.5

Published

Server-side layout engine with WebSocket geometry streaming

Readme

@geometra/server

Server-side layout engine with WebSocket streaming for Geometra. Computes layouts on the server and streams them to thin clients.

Install

npm install @geometra/server

Key exports

  • createServer — Geometra layout server with WebSocket streaming (standalone port or attach to an existing HTTP server); returned handle includes broadcastData(channel, payload) for JSON side-channels on the same socket as layout (type: 'data' messages)
  • DEFAULT_GEOMETRA_WS_PATH — default pathname (/geometra-ws) when using httpServer
  • shouldDeferClientSend — backpressure helper (used by the server and tests)
  • onTransportMetrics (option) — per-broadcast deferred send count, coalesced patch delta, binary outbound count
  • Binary frame helpers (encodeBinaryFrameJson, …) — optional GEOM v1 JSON envelopes; see repo PROTOCOL_COMPATIBILITY.md

Usage

import { signal, box, text } from '@geometra/core/node'
import { createServer } from '@geometra/server'

const messages = signal(['Hello from server'])

function view() {
  return box({ flexDirection: 'column', padding: 16, gap: 8 },
    messages.value.map((m) =>
      box({ backgroundColor: '#16213e', padding: 10, borderRadius: 8 }, [
        text({ text: m, font: '14px Inter', lineHeight: 20, color: '#fff' }),
      ]),
    ),
  )
}

const server = await createServer(view, { port: 3100, width: 800, height: 500 })

One port: HTTP + WebSocket (attach mode)

Serve static files, REST, and Geometra on the same TCP port by passing your Node http.Server. WebSocket clients should connect to ws(s)://host${wsPath} (default path DEFAULT_GEOMETRA_WS_PATH).

import http from 'node:http'
import { signal, box, text } from '@geometra/core/node'
import { createServer, DEFAULT_GEOMETRA_WS_PATH } from '@geometra/server'

const count = signal(0)

function view() {
  return box({ padding: 16 }, [
    text({ text: `Count ${count.value}`, font: '16px Inter', lineHeight: 22, color: '#fff' }),
  ])
}

const httpServer = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  if (req.url === '/') {
    res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' })
    res.end('<!doctype html><canvas id="app"></canvas><script type="module" src="/client.js"></script>')
    return
  }
  res.writeHead(404).end()
})

await new Promise<void>((resolve) => httpServer.listen(8080, resolve))

const geometra = await createServer(view, {
  httpServer,
  wsPath: DEFAULT_GEOMETRA_WS_PATH,
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
})

// Thin client: new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:8080${DEFAULT_GEOMETRA_WS_PATH}`)

Do not pass both httpServer and port.
