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 🙏

A small library of page related semantic React components. These allow a web page to be composed semantically -- making it easier to understand it's structure and outline.

Websites and web apps many times are composed of multiple pages where only one page is shown at a time. The pages themselves are composed of many different regions. A typical page has a site header in the top region (aka a page head) which usually has a brand image along with some site-wide navigation. Below this region may be another page head which contains breadcrumbs, a table of contents, share-this links, and other page-specific content. Below this region is usually the meat of the page. This region (aka a page body) may be composed of many sections that help form the outline of the page. A page may have many page bodies. Some pages may have a sidebar region which is usually displayed on either the left-side or right-side of the page. After the page body(ies) and page sidebar is the bottom region (aka a page foot) which among other things usually contains legal information such as copyright notices, a list of site links, a link to the site's privacy policy, and a link to the site's terms.

In the description above, please note the word site may be replaced by the word app.

Installation

npm install --save @qc/react-page

or

yarn add @qc/react-page

Semantics

Each of the page components have specific meaning and purpose.

If you are unfamiliar with semantics, checkout the semantics section at the WhatWG.

Also, being familiar with how headings and sections generate an outline is useful when choosing an appropriate value for the compType property of the page related components. See headings and sections at WhatWG. Pay very close attention to when the word heading and the word header is used. They can be very easy to confuse.

Page

Represents a page on a website or a web app. Usually only one page is displayed at a time. However, sometimes multiple pages may be loaded to provide a better user experience (UX). For instance, in mobile apps, it is not uncommon to navigate back and forth between a search results page and a details page. In this scenerio, it would be ideal not to reload the results page everytime the user navigates back to it. This can be easily done by using multiple page components.

By default, pages produce a div element. This may be changed using the compType property which may be set to 'div' or 'section'.

Page.Head

Represents the top region of a page. It is okay to have more than one page head. Usually they follow one after the other. Typically, the first page head will contain site-wide content such as brand information and the main navigation. If the page has page-specific content such as breadcrumbs, a table of contents, share-this links, etc, then a separate page head will follow the site-wide page head.

By default, page heads produce a header element. This may be changed using the compType property which may be set to 'div', 'header', or 'section'.

Many times, some of the page head content is not printed. For instance, it is usually not necessary to print the main navigation or the share-this links since they are not very useful in printed versions.

Page.Body

Represents the main region of a page and it contains the meat of a page. It is not uncommon for a page to have multiple page bodies.

By default, page bodies produce a div element. This may be changed using the compType property which may be set to 'article', 'div', 'main', or 'section'.

Page.Sidebar

Represents the sidebar region of a page and it contains content that is tangentially related to the surrounding content. It is not uncommon for a page to have multiple sidebars.

By default, page sidebars produce an aside element. This may be changed using the compType property which may be set to 'aside', 'div', or 'section'.

Page.Foot

Represents the bottom region of a page. It is okay to have more than one page foot. Usually they follow one after the other. Typically, the last page foot will contain site-wide content such as a list of links, legal information, and more. Sometimes, a page will have a page foot above (that is, comes before) the side-wide page foot. This page foot will usually contain information about its section (which are typically represented by Page.Body components) such as who wrote it, links to related documents, copyright data, and the like.

By default, page foots (intentionally not using feet) produce a footer element. This may be changed using the compType property which may be set to 'div', 'footer', or 'section'.

Many times, some of the page foot content is not printed. For instance, it is usually not necessary to print the list of links since they are not very useful in printed versions.

Example Usage

A typical use case is in a single-page application (SPA) where each page is rendered by top-level routes.

Please examine the following example closely to get a better feel for how to use the page related components semantically.

// AboutPage.jsx
import React from 'react'

import Page from '@qc/react-page'

import '@qc/react-page/umd/react-page.css'

export default function AboutPage(props) {
  return (
    <Page className="AboutPage">
      <Page.Head className="is-SiteWide">
        <SiteHeader/>
      </Page.Head>
      <Page.Body compType="main">
        <h1>About Us</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Foot className="is-PageSpecific">
        <Testimonials/>
      </Page.Foot>
      <Page.Foot className="is-SiteWide">
        <SiteFooter/>
      </Page.Foot>
    </Page>
  )
}
// HomePage.jsx
import React from 'react'

import Page from '@qc/react-page'

import '@qc/react-page/umd/react-page.css'

export default function HomePage(props) {
  return (
    <Page className="HomePage">
      <Page.Head className="is-SiteWide">
        <SiteHeader/>
      </Page.Head>
      <Page.Body compType="section">
        <ObligatoryCarousel/>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Body compType="section">
        <h1>Why Us?</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Body compType="section">
        <h1>Products</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Body compType="section">
        <h1>Services</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Body compType="section">
        <h1>Our Sponsors</h1>
        <SponsorList/>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Foot className="is-SiteWide">
        <SiteFooter/>
      </Page.Foot>
    </Page>
  )
}
// SomeBlogPage.jsx
import React from 'react'

import Page from '@qc/react-page'

import '@qc/react-page/umd/react-page.css'

export default function SomeBlogPage(props) {
  return (
    <Page className="SomeBlogPage">
      <Page.Head className="is-SiteWide">
        <SiteHeader/>
      </Page.Head>
      <Page.Head className="is-PageSpecific">
        <BlogNav/>
        <ShareLinks/>
      </Page.Head>
      <Page.Body compType="article">
        <h1>Some Blog Page</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
        <aside>Advertisement...</aside>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...</p>
      </Page.Body>
      <Page.Sidebar>
        <RelatedLinks/>
        <TagCloud/>
        <Etc/>
      </Page.Sidebar>
      <Page.Foot className="is-PageSpecific">
        <RelatedBlogLinks/>
        <BlogComments/>
      </Page.Foot>
      <Page.Foot className="is-SiteWide">
        <SiteFooter/>
      </Page.Foot>
    </Page>
  )
}
// App.jsx
import React from 'react'
import { Route } from 'react-router'

import AboutPage from './AboutPage'
import HomePage from './HomePage'
import SomeBlogPage from './SomeBlogPage'

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div class="App">
        <Route exact path="/" component={HomePage}/>
        <Route path="/about" component={AboutPage}/>
        <Route path="/blog/some" component={SomeBlogPage}/>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
// index.jsx
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom'

import App from './App'

ReactDOM.render(
  <BrowserRouter>
    <App/>
  </BrowserRouter>,
  document.getElementById('root')
)

Use with React-Bootstrap

The following demonstrates some typical uses of react-bootstrap's "layout" components with @qc/react-page components.

import React from 'react'
import { Carousel, Col, Grid, Row } from 'react-bootstrap'
import Page from '@qc/react-page'

import '@qc/react-page/umd/react-page.css'

class HomePage extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Page className="HomePage">
        <Page.Head className="is-SiteWide  SiteHeader">
          <Grid>
            <Row>
              <Col xs={4}>
                <img alt="brand" src="..."/>
              </Col>
              <Col xs={8}>
                <nav className="MainNav">
                  ...
                </nav>
              </Col>
            </Row>
          </Grid>
        </Page.Head>
        {/*
        Notice how the following page body is not being width-constrained with
        a `Grid` component since carousels typically span the full page width.
        */}
        <Page.Body>
          <Carousel/>
        </Page.Body>
        <Page.Body>
          <Grid>
            <Row>
              <Col xs={12} smOffset={3} sm={6}>...</Col>
            </Row>
            <Row>
              <Col xs={12} sm={6}>...</Col>
              <Col xs={12} sm={6}>...</Col>
            </Row>
          </Grid>
        </Page.Body>
        <Page.Foot className="is-SiteWide  SiteFooter">
          <Grid>
            <Row>
              <Col md={4}>
                <SiteLinks/>
              </Col>
              <Col md={4}>
                <LegalStuff/>
              </Col>
              <Col md={4}>
                <OtherStuff/>
              </Col>
            </Row>
          </Grid>
        </Page.Foot>
      </Page>
    )
  }
}

Use ES Modules

This package also comes with the source and an ES variation. Instead of

import Page from '@qc/react-page'

use

import Page from '@qc/react-page/es'

or

import Page from '@qc/react-page/src'

to import the component.

If you do this, then you will need to be sure to transpile the code to a syntax compatible with the browsers you plan to support.

The source is using object spread syntax. In order to transpile it with babel, you must include the object spread transform plugin.

Importing Only the Components Needed

Use only the import statements needed.

import Page from '@qc/react-page/lib/Page'
import PageHead from '@qc/react-page/lib/PageHead'
import PageBody from '@qc/react-page/lib/PageBody'
import PageSidebar from '@qc/react-page/lib/PageSidebar'
import PageFoot from '@qc/react-page/lib/PageFoot'
import Page from '@qc/react-page/es/Page'
import PageHead from '@qc/react-page/es/PageHead'
import PageBody from '@qc/react-page/es/PageBody'
import PageSidebar from '@qc/react-page/es/PageSidebar'
import PageFoot from '@qc/react-page/es/PageFoot'
import Page from '@qc/react-page/src/Page'
import PageHead from '@qc/react-page/src/PageHead'
import PageBody from '@qc/react-page/src/PageBody'
import PageSidebar from '@qc/react-page/src/PageSidebar'
import PageFoot from '@qc/react-page/src/PageFoot'
