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 🙏

add-prop-types

v0.0.4

Published

A util for working with prop-types.

Readme

add-prop-types

npm version

Making prop-types easy to work with.

// Tired

Component.propTypes = {
  installPackage: PropTypes.func,
  name: PropTypes.string,
  version: PropTypes.number.isRequired
};

Component.defaultProps = {
  name: 1
};

// Wired

addPropTypes(Component, {
  installPackage: 'func',
  name: 'string',
  version: {
    type: 'number',
    default: 1,
    isRequired: true
  },
});

General Usage

A String shorthand argument is supported by most types. See below in complete usage for supported and unsupported types.

addPropTypes(Component, {
firstName: 'string',
lastName: 'string',
});

The object argument is supported by all types and allows for the setting of default and required props. Some types require the object argument, refer to complete usage for the list.

addPropTypes(Component, {
  firstName: {
    type: 'string',
    default: 'first name',
    isRequired: true
  },
  lastName: {
    type: 'string',
    default: 'last name'
  },
  nicknames: {
    type: 'arrayOf',
    typeValue: 'string'
  }
});

Complete Usage

addPropTypes(Component, {
  // PropTypes.array
  optionalArray: 'array',

  // PropTypes.bool
  optionalBool: 'bool',

  // PropTypes.func
  optionalFunc: 'func',

  // PropTypes.number
  optionalNumber: 'number',

  // PropTypes.object
  optionalObject: 'object',

  optionalString: 'string',

  // PropTypes.symbol
  optionalSymbol: 'symbol',

  // PropTypes.node
  optionalNode: 'node',

  // PropTypes.element
  optionalElement: 'element',

  // PropTypes.elementType
  optionalElementType: 'elementType',

  // ---- Types requiring the object argument

  // TODO: PropTypes.instanceOf

  // TODO: PropTypes.oneOf

  // TODO: PropTypes.oneOfType

  // TODO: PropTypes.arrayOf

  // TODO: PropTypes.objectOf

  // TODO: PropTypes.shape

  // TODO: PropTypes.exact

  customProp: function(props, propName, componentName) {
    if (!/matchme/.test(props[propName])) {
      return new Error(
        'Invalid prop `' +
          propName +
          '` supplied to' +
          ' `' +
          componentName +
          '`. Validation failed.'
      );
    }
  },
