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 🙏

Components

Hamburger Menu

  console.log('Hamburger clicked!');
  // Toggle menu visibility, etc.
});

Splash Screen

Create and animate a splash screen:

import { Components } from '@vim-crouwel/dry-frontend';

// Add a placeholder in your HTML
// <div data-component="splash-screen">Loading...</div>

// Initialize the splash screen with animation
Components.initSplashScreen(
  'fade', // Animation type: 'fade', 'shrink', 'left', or 'up'
  '#ffffff', // Background color
  500 // Animation duration in ms
);

Effects

Box Revealer

Create animated box reveal effects for images:

import { Effects } from '@vim-crouwel/dry-frontend';

// Add elements in your HTML
// <div class="dry-revealer box" data-img-src="path/to/image.jpg" data-mask-color="#fff"></div>

// Initialize the box revealer
Effects.createBoxRevealer('left'); // or 'right'

Text Animations

Reveal characters with animation:

import { Effects } from '@vim-crouwel/dry-frontend';

Effects.revealChars(targetElement, (startAnimation) => {
  startAnimation();
}, 50, 500);

Create a horizontal text sliding effect:

// Add elements in your HTML
// <div data-effect="horizontalTextSlide" data-direction="left" data-font-size="4rem" data-duration="10000">
//   <div>Your text here</div>
// </div>

// Initialize the horizontal text slide
Effects.initHorizontalTextSlide();

Functions

Scroll Utilities

Control scrolling behavior:

import { toggleScrollLock, onScrollTriggerOnce, scrollToTarget } from '@vim-crouwel/dry-frontend';

// Lock/unlock scrolling
toggleScrollLock();

// Trigger a function once when an element comes into view
const element = document.querySelector('.my-element');
onScrollTriggerOnce(element, 100, () => {
  console.log('Element is now visible!');
  // Run your animation or other code
});

// Smooth scroll to an element
const target = document.querySelector('.scroll-target');
scrollToTarget(target);

Utilities

import { createElm } from '@vim-crouwel/dry-frontend';

const div = createElm('div', {
  className: 'box',
  textContent: 'Hello!',
  attributes: { id: 'myDiv', 'data-custom': 'value' },
  styles: { backgroundColor: 'yellow', padding: '10px' },
  children: [

  ]
});
