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 🙏

arcgis-rest-helper

This library provides modules to simplify the works when it comes to dealing with contents from ArcGIS Online: search group content, format items, search items from my favorite group and etc.

Have you ever seen the Browse Page of the Living Atlas of the World site and/or the Explore App of the Esri Maps for Pulic Policy site? Although the UI look quite different, but ultimately these two apps do pretty much the same thing: Search items from a ArcGIS Online Group and render the results as a list.

Of course you can do this by using the Group Content Search operation from ArcGIS REST API directly, which is exactly what we use, but sooner or later you will realize that you will need to do a lot of extra things before you can do things like searching group content using the category schema or content type as filters; or getting the ready to use thumbnail image URL for items from the result before rendering them as a list of cards and etc.

We use this library in several different Living Atlas apps/sites and we will continue to maintain this library by adding more modules to it.

Installation:

npm install @vannizhang/arcgis-rest-helper

Module import:

import {
    setDefaultOptions,
    // search-group-items
    loadGroupCategorySchema,
    searchGroupItems,
    searchGroupItemsByIds,
    // format-item
    formatItem,
    // my-favorite-items
    getMyFavItems,
    toggleShareWithMyFavGroup,
    // shared types
    AgolItem,
    ContentType,
    SortField,
    SortOrder,
    SearchResponse,
} from '@vannizhang/arcgis-rest-helper'

Configure arcgis-rest-helper

Make sure to call setDefaultOptions before using other methods like loadGroupCategorySchema, searchGroupItems and etc.

import {
    setDefaultOptions,
} from '@vannizhang/arcgis-rest-helper'

// this will make searchGroupItems to use the group 'abc123' by default, unless a groupId is provided in the SearchOptions
setDefaultOptions({
    groupId: 'abc123',
});

// Here are all available default options
setDefaultOptions({
    groupId: 'abc123',
    ArcGISOnlineHost: 'https://arcgis-content.maps.arcgis.com',
    // make sure myFavGroupId and identidyManager are provided before using methods from my-favorite-items module
    myFavGroupId: 'efg567',
    identidyManager: getIdentidyManager(); // let's assume this method returns the ArcGISIdentityManager instance (https://developers.arcgis.com/arcgis-rest-js/api-reference/arcgis-rest-request/ArcGISIdentityManager)
});
