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 🙏

Browser lifecycle utilities for @gunsole/core

Readme

@gunsole/web

Browser-optimised wrapper around @gunsole/core with lifecycle management baked in.

Installation

pnpm add @gunsole/web @gunsole/core
# or
npm install @gunsole/web @gunsole/core
# or
yarn add @gunsole/web @gunsole/core

Usage

Quick Start

import { createGunsoleClient } from "@gunsole/web";

const gunsole = createGunsoleClient({
  projectId: "your-project-id",
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
  mode: "cloud",
  env: "production",
  appName: "my-app",
  appVersion: "1.0.0",
});

gunsole.log({ bucket: "user_action", message: "User clicked button" });

The web factory wraps @gunsole/core and automatically:

  • Wraps fetch with keepalive support for reliable delivery
  • Flushes remaining logs via sendBeacon on pagehide
  • Flushes on visibility change and network reconnect
  • Attaches global error handlers (window.onerror, unhandledrejection)
  • Enables debug mode via URL param (?__gunsole_debug=true) or localStorage
  • Cleans up everything on destroy()

Session Persistence

Persist the session ID in a cookie so it survives page reloads:

import { createGunsoleClient, persistSession } from "@gunsole/web";

const gunsole = createGunsoleClient({ projectId: "my-app", apiKey: "key", mode: "cloud" });
const sessionId = persistSession(gunsole);

Lifecycle Options

Control which lifecycle behaviours are enabled:

const gunsole = createGunsoleClient(
  { projectId: "my-app", apiKey: "key", mode: "cloud" },
  {
    sendBeacon: true,      // flush via sendBeacon on pagehide (default: true)
    networkAware: true,    // flush on online event (default: true)
    visibilityAware: true, // flush on visibilitychange (default: true)
    urlDebug: true,        // enable ?__gunsole_debug=true (default: true)
  }
);

Low-Level Primitives

For advanced use cases, you can use the building blocks directly:

import { createGunsoleClient } from "@gunsole/core";
import { attachWebLifecycle, createKeepaliveFetch } from "@gunsole/web";

const client = createGunsoleClient({
  projectId: "my-app",
  apiKey: "key",
  mode: "cloud",
  fetch: createKeepaliveFetch(),
});

const detach = attachWebLifecycle(client);

// Later:
detach();
await client.destroy();

API

createGunsoleClient(config, lifecycleOptions?)

Creates a GunsoleClient with all browser lifecycle features attached. Accepts the same config as @gunsole/core plus optional WebLifecycleOptions.

persistSession(client, cookieName?)

Reads or writes the session ID to a cookie (gunsole_session by default). Returns the session ID string.

attachWebLifecycle(client, options?)

Attaches browser lifecycle handlers to an existing GunsoleClient. Returns a DetachFunction to remove all listeners.

createKeepaliveFetch(baseFetch?)

Wraps a fetch function to add keepalive: true when the body is under 51 KB (browser limit is 64 KB).

Exports

All key types are re-exported from @gunsole/core so you only need @gunsole/web as an import:

import type {
  ClientMode,
  GunsoleClientConfig,
  LogLevel,
  LogOptions,
  TagEntry,
  UserInfo,
} from "@gunsole/web";
