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

brace

browserify compatible version of the ace editor.

browser support

This badge shows which browsers support annotations, however the editor itself works in pretty much every browser.

screenshot Try it in your browser

Installation

npm install brace

Example

var ace = require('brace');
require('brace/mode/javascript');
require('brace/theme/monokai');

var editor = ace.edit('javascript-editor');
editor.getSession().setMode('ace/mode/javascript');
editor.setTheme('ace/theme/monokai');

Include the above as an entry in your browserify build, add a <div id="javascript-editor"></div> to your html page and a JavaScript editor will appear.

This editor will show error/warning annotations if your browser supports WebWorkers created via a blob URL (see testling support badge on top).

Please consult the detailed example for more information.

Why not just use ace?

The ace editor creates the WebWorker via a worker script url. This requires the worker scripts to reside on your server and forces you to host the ace editor on your server as well.

While that is ok in most cases, it prevents you from providing a fully working ace editor package.

With brace, you have two options:

  • include brace itself when browserifying your app to get a fully working ace editor included with your bundle (no other external scripts needed)
  • create the bundle as explained above and provide it to others so they can include it in their html page simply via a script tag

What if my browser doesn't support it?

If brace is unable to inline the web worker, it just falls back to provide the ace editor without annotation support. This means the editor is fully functional, but doesn't display errors/warnings on the left side.

As far as I understand, the original ace editor behaves in exactly the same way.

How does it work?

brace has an update script which automatically pulls down the ace builds and refactors them to provide the following:

  • inline all supported workers
  • automatically require the workers that a 'mode' (language) depends on inside the mode file itself
  • provide the modes and themes at the same paths that ace's setMode and setTheme use (just replace 'ace' with 'brace') as seen in the above example

Supported Workers

All workers included with ace are supported, except php and xquery, mainly because I wasn't able to properly stringify their code (any help with that is appreciated).

Test

npm explore brace
