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 🙏

GrainJS

npm version Build Status

GrainJS is a Javascript (and TypeScript) library for building highly performant dynamic applications.

GrainJS provides convenient pure-JS interfaces for building DOM. It has observables inspired by Knockout to create declarative data models and tie them to UI. It includes light-weight event dispatching, DOM event subscriptions, disposable components, and in-code CSS styling.

GrainJS is in part inspired by React, but based on observables instead of virtual dom, and with a convenient way to build DOM without JSX. It is lighter weight, and has less magic happening under the covers.

The focus is on performance and conciseness. The library has no dependencies and is only 31K. minified.

Installation

npm install --save grainjs

Basic Example

const name = observable("");

dom.update(document.body,
  dom('input', {type: 'text', placeholder: 'Enter your name'},
    dom.on('input', (ev, elem) => name.set(elem.value)),
  ),
  dom('div', 'Hello, ',
    dom.text((use) => use(name).toUpperCase() || 'Stranger'),
    '!',
  ),
);

Documentation

At a basic level, GrainJS allows you to describe DOM structure in one place, using Javascript (or TypeScript), and to keep the dynamic aspects of it separated into variables called "observables". These observables serve as the model of the UI; other code can update them to cause UI to update, without knowing the details of the DOM construction.

In addition, the library provides approaches to create and dispose resources (important for long-lived single-page applications), and an assortment of other related tools.
