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 🙏

Nightowl

A "micro-framework" (*hacky script) that adds dark mode to any website with a single line of code. The script has been modified by me for my needs.

You can learn more about how it works and how the owner made it here.

Youtube Video about how this project was made

State of the Project

This is the modified version of the original repo to fit my projects.

Changes

I made some changes to the CSS selectors so that the filter won't be applied to the nav tag which is fixed for most of the website and the main content of the body will be apply with the dark mode filter.

<body>
     <header>
        <nav></nav>
    </header>
    <div id="webPage">
    </div>
</body>

Integration

Integration can be achieved by one of the following methods.

npm

To use nightowl with a bundler like Vite first install it with this command:

npm i @khoinguyen0412/nightowl

Then add these lines to your HTML file:

<script type="module">
    import { createNightowl } from '@khoinguyen0412/nightowl'

    createNightowl({
          defaultMode: 'dark',
          toggleButtonMode: 'newState',
          parentEle: 'navbar'
    })
</script>

Configuration Options

defaultMode

  • Type: 'light' | 'dark'
  • Default: 'light'

Sets the default mode for users that have not set a preference yet and do not have a system preference for dark mode.

toggleButtonMode

  • Type: 'currentState' | 'newState'
  • Default: 'currentState'

parentEle

  • Type: 'element's ID'
  • Default: ''

Configures what state of the toggle button should be shown to the user.

  • currentState - Shows the state that is currently applied to the website.
  • newState - Shows the state that will be applied when the user clicks the button.
  • parentEle - Optional choice where to append the toggle ( using parent element's id)

Customize Dark Mode

You can exclude elements from being inverted in dark mode using the .nightowl-daylight CSS class. Just add it to an element and it will show the element in the same way as the light mode.

<div>
  <p>I'm inverted in Dark Mode</p>
  <p class="nightowl-daylight">I'm not inverted in Dark Mode</p>
</div>

Credits

This project is heavily inspired by Aral Balkan who wrote down this idea to implement dark mode in a few lines of CSS using CSS Filters.
