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 🙏

ember-mixpanel

The goal of ember-mixpanel is to provide a Ember-friendly wrapper around the mixpanel library, along with a few helpers to help you track events. All you need to do is include the mixpanel library in your index.html file.

Getting Started

This is an ember-cli addon, so all you need to do is

    npm install --save ember-mixpanel

After that, you should have a mixpanel dependency injected on your routes, controllers and views. You can do things like:

    this.get('mixpanel.people.set')({
        '$email': '[email protected]',
        'foobar': 'baz'
    });

or:

    this.get('mixpanel.track')( "I'm an event name", {
        'ember': 'great',
        'freshbooks': 'greatest'
    });

Note that this.get('mixpanel.XXX') accesses return a function (provided by the Mixpanel library), so you'll want to subsequently invoke that function with whatever arguments it takes. See https://mixpanel.com/help/reference/javascript-full-api-reference for a list of available methods.

Click tracking

In Ember views, there is an additional method available on this.mixpanel called trackClick. Invoking that method with a javascript click event will track the click in Mixpanel with the following niceties:

Ember.View has been reopened to accept an optional data-mixpanel-event attribute. If this attribute is on the DOM element we'll use that as the event name in Mixpanel.

Try something like:

    Ember.View.extend({
        instrumentClicks: function(e) {
            this.get('mixpanel').trackClick(e, {
                'additional': 'properties'
            })
        }.on('click')
    });

Supposing the underlying DOM element's markup is something like:

    <div data-mixpanel-event="Foo Event Name">
       <checkbox name="helloworld" />
       <label for="helloworld">Hello, world!</label>
    </div>

Whenever the label, checkbox or div is clicked an event named Click: Foo Event Name will be logged in Mixpanel with the additional properties on it as described above. Neat!

Note: ember-mixpanel will walk up the DOM tree and use the data-mixpanel-event attribute from the closest parent to the element that was clicked on.

Safety included

In some environments (development, testing, etc.) the window.mixpanel object might not exist. You don't need to guard against this case, since ember-mixpanel will neuter calls to Mixpanel methods if they can't be performed. You'll see a WARNING log entry in your browser's console if we can't find the window.mixpanel object.
