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 🙏

Lodash for unit conversions

Units by Stak Digital

codecov

A highly modular unit conversion library.

For full API docs, visit https://units.js.org

Getting Started

yarn add @stak-digital/units

  • OR -

npm install --save @stak-digital/units

Usage

The library is split into three tiers:

  • Library (index.js)
  • Conversion category (weight.js, length.js)
  • Individual function (poundsToKilograms.js)

Library Version

import units from '@stak-digital/units';

const amountInPounds = 60;
const amountInKilograms = units.poundsToKilograms(amountInPounds);
    // 27.2155
     
const amountInInches = 30;
const amountInMeters = units.inchesToMeters(amountInInches);
    // 0.762

Category Version

import convertWeight from '@stak-digital/units/weight';
import convertLength from '@stak-digital/units/length';

const amountInPounds = 60;
const amountInKilograms = convertWeight.poundsToKilograms(amountInPounds);
    // 27.2155
     
const amountInInches = 30;
const amountInMeters = convertLength.inchesToMeters(amountInInches);
    // 0.762

Individual Functions

import poundsToKilograms from '@stak-digital/units/pounds-to-kilograms';
import inchesToMeters from '@stak-digital/units/inches-to-meters';

const amountInPounds = 60;
const amountInKilograms = poundsToKilograms(amountInPounds);
    // 27.2155
     
const amountInInches = 30;
const amountInMeters = inchesToMeters(amountInInches);
    // 0.762

Development

Adding a new unit

  • If the unit belongs to an existing category, add the unit to that category; otherwise
    • Create a new category file in ./src/data/
      • Each category should have a name and units array
  • If the unit exists already, add your desired conversion in the convertTo property; otherwise
    • Create a new unit under the category with a name, symbol and convert to property. Each unit should have at least one convertTo
    • Additionally, a convertTo needs to have a respective unit in the given category to allow interoperability between the units (see below)
{
	"units": [
		{
			"name": "fahrenheit",
			"symbol": "F",
			"convertTo": {
				"celsius": {
					"formula": "(n - 32) * (5/9)",
					"nEqualsOne": -17.22222222222222
				}
			}
		},
		{
			"name": "celsius",
			"symbol": "C",
			"convertTo": {
				"fahrenheit": {
					"formula": "(n * (9/5)) + 32",
					"nEqualsOne": 33.8
				}
			}
		}
	]
}
  • Each conversion must have a formula property where the input unit is represented by n and an nEqualsOne value which represents the return value when an input of 1 is put through the formula.
