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 🙏

Readme

acceptedlanguagesui.js

Build Status

A simple JavaScript library that asks the visitor if they'd like to view the current page in one of it's alternate languages, if the their browser indicates another language is preferred.

This library does not translate your website, but offers the alternate versions of your website, as defined by <link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="..." /> tags in the <head> of your web page. See the usage below for an example.

Uses acceptedlanguages.js to discover the users accepted languages and the pages alternate languages.

Why

Language dropdowns are often placed below the fold or in inconspicuous locations of a web page. Including this library into a web page invites the visitor to switch quickly to their preferred language without requiring them to discover the language drop down.

Example

See the example.

Install

Bower

bower install acceptedlangaugesui

NPM

npm install acceptedlanguagesui --save

Manual

Download acceptedlanguages.min.js and acceptedlanguagesui.min.js.

Usage

Globals

Include acceptedlanguages.js and acceptedlanguagesui.js into the page and call init.

<html lang="en">
  <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 src="acceptedlanguagesui.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      window.onload = function() {
        acceptedlanguagesui.init();
      };
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

If the visitor is viewing the en version of the page, and the browser is configured with the languages pt, zh-Hans, en-US, they will be offered to switch to pt-BR.

RequireJS

Include the library and then use as a dependency:

define(['acceptedlanguagesui'], function(acceptedLanguagesUI) {
  acceptedlanguagesui.display();
});
