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 🙏

Build Status

A simple JavaScript library that exposes the accepted languages of the visitor configured in their browser, and the languages relevant given the languages that the current page is alternatively available in.

Install

Bower

bower install acceptedlangauges

Manual

Download acceptedlanguages.min.js.

Usage

Globals

Include acceptedlanguages.js into the page and call any of the global properties.

<head>
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="pt-BR" href="..." />
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="..." />
  <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="..." />
  <script src="acceptedlanguages.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('Accepted:  ' + window.acceptedlanguages.accepted);
    console.log('Alternate: ' + window.acceptedlanguages.alternate);
    console.log('Relevant:  ' + window.acceptedlanguages.relevant);
  </script>
</head>

If the browser is configured with the languages pt, zh-Hans, en-US, the above would output:

Accepted:  pt-BR,pt,zh-Hans,en-US
Alternate: pt-BR,es,en
Relevant:  pt-BR,en

RequireJS

Include the library and then use as a dependency:

define(['acceptedlanguages'], function(acceptedLanguages) {
  console.log('Accepted:  ' + acceptedlanguages.accepted);
  console.log('Alternate: ' + acceptedlanguages.alternate);
  console.log('Relevant:  ' + acceptedlanguages.relevant);
});

Browser Compatibility

All browsers supporting ECMAScript 5: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE9, etc. If you need to support older browsers use es5-shims to get the following:

  • Array.forEach
  • Array.filter
  • Array.map

Expect that Chrome and Firefox may return multiple languages while Safari and IE will return only a single language.
