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 🙏

Key features

  • State and event tracking:
    • Use useDebug to monitor component state.
    • Use debug to monitor events.
    • Use debugStore to monitor stores for nanostores.
  • Developer-Friendly: Easy to integrate, no changes to your app's structure. No provider or context required.

Installation

npm install [email protected] monaco-editor @monaco-editor/react

How to use

Side panel integration

Wrap your application with <DebugShell> to enable the debug shell as side panel:

import React from 'react';
import { DebugShell } from 'debug-shell';

function App() {
  return (
    <DebugShell>
      <YourApp />
    </DebugShell>
  );
};

Component integration

Integrate the <DebugShell> as component in your app. You can place it anywhere in your app:

import React from 'react';
import { DebugShell } from 'debug-shell';

function App(){

  return (
    <div>
        <YourApp />
        <YourSidebar >
          <DebugShell />
        </YourSidebar>
    </div>
  );
};

useDebug for state tracking

To monitor state, use the useDebug hook:

import React from 'react';
import { useDebug } from 'debug-shell';

function MyComponent() {
  const userState = userState({
    name: 'TestUser',
    age: 23,
    email: '[email protected]',
  });

  useDebug('userState', userState);

  return <p>Name: {userState.name}</p>;
};

debugValue for event tracking

To monitor events, use the debugValue function:

import React from 'react';
import { debug } from 'debug-shell';

function MyComponent() {
  const handleClick = (event) => {
    debug('onClickEvent', event);
    alert('Button clicked!');
  };

  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click Me</button>;
};

debugStore for store tracking from nanostores.

The debugStore function can be used outside of React components to register nanostores:

import { atom } from 'nanostores';
import { debugStore } from 'debug-shell';

const counterStore = atom({ count: 0 })

debugStore("counterStore", counterStore)

setInterval(() => {
  counterStore.set({ count: counterStore.get().count + 1 })
}, 1e3)
