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 🙏

MolPlot: Vega-Lite scientific charting primitives with a unified, matplotlib-portable preset

Readme

@molcrafts/molplot

Vega-Lite scientific charting primitives — line, scatter, bar, gantt, and a raw spec passthrough — with a shared, matplotlib-portable preset and a lazily-loaded Vega runtime.

Part of MolPlot: every chart builds a Vega-Lite spec (the portable intermediate language) and renders it with vega-embed. The same spec can be rendered to a matplotlib figure by the Python package molcrafts-molplot, so web and paper figures share one description and one preset.

Install

npm install @molcrafts/molplot vega vega-lite vega-embed

The Vega runtime is loaded lazily and externalized from the build, so a consumer that never renders a chart never pays for the bundle.

Usage

import { LineChart, ScatterChart, CHART_PALETTE } from "@molcrafts/molplot";

const chart = new LineChart(container, {
  preset: "molplot",       // unified preset; "molplot-paper" also ships
  theme: "auto",           // tracks <html class="dark">
  series: [{ id: "e", label: "Energy", initialPoints: pts }],
});
await chart.ready();
chart.appendPoint("e", { x, y });     // cheap streaming update (view.data)
chart.onPointClick((e) => console.log(e.seriesId, e.index));

API

Chart classes (imperative, framework-agnostic): LineChart, ScatterChart, BarChart, GanttChart, RawChart. Each takes (container, config) and exposes ready(), resize(), dispose(), and typed on*Click handlers; LineChart adds setSeries / appendPoint / appendPoints / clear / setWindow / setAxisRange.

Spec builders (the intermediate language, no DOM): lineSpec, scatterSpec, barSpec, ganttSpec. Theme / preset: resolveTheme, vegaConfig, getPreset, CHART_PALETTE, CHART_DEFAULT_COLOR.

Migration from the plotly build: the chart classes and config/event types are unchanged. RawChart now takes a Vega-Lite spec ({ spec }) instead of a plotly { data, layout, config } payload.
