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 🙏

Do you need this design pattern? No!

Would it be useful for bootstrapping a new application? Hell yes! To set the tone and get the correct mindset. watch this

Never be afraid again to have more than one level deep of inherited object inheritance tree. In OOP we usually create newer objects for the sake of inheritance and not for the sake of semantic correctness.

  • Ex: Let's consider a dog. A good and sane OOP developer would most likely create an abstract tree that resides the dog animal this way

    Animal // And Followed by animal properties (ex blood, heart, etc.) Animal.dog // And Followed by dog properties (bark, bite, age, how many legs, etc.)

But let's say in that same program we want to make a robot dog, which semantically inherits a of the dog's properties to begin with. But we know semantically that robot dog belongs basically from two classes. It's not an Animal anymore but shares a lot with dog.

Animal // And Followed by animal properties (ex blood, heart, etc.)
Animal.dog // And Followed by dog properties (bark, bite, age, etc.)

My proposed solution is inherit or mixin the functions or static props you need. This keeps your objects clean and as reusable as possible. And as a complete extra benefit: You shall be more semantically correct. Allow me to illustrate (use your imagination :D)

let robotDog = dog.create({
	inherit: [bite, bark],
	material: metal
});

Is it a dog? true
Is it a robot? true 

###How to use This tool has no depencies except for running it in at least an ES5 capable environment. Can be used for Node or Window environment if using the render feature or not. You may use es15 becuase of babel integration. A more fleshed out documentation will follow as I keep building up features. For now check the example files.

Ensure that you have gulp-cli installed globally by

$ sudo npm i gulp-cli -g

Once that is done, just install like any other project using node & npm

$ npm i 
$ gulp serve

In development
