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 🙏

Angular module for jQuery nestable plugin

Readme

angular-nestable 0.0.1 Bower version

###DEMO: check out the demo here

###DESCRIPTION: angular-nestable is a module for AngularJS that uses the jQuery nestable plugin to create multi-sortable lists with the ability to nest items within each other.

###INSTALLATION

Either run bower install ng-nestable or download angular-nestable.js form the repository directly.

Include the module in your app dependency:

angular.module('yourAppModule', ['ng-nestable']);

Note that this module requires jQuery and jQuery nestable plugin.

###USAGE:

<div ng-nestable ng-model="items">
	<div>
		<!-- this element is the template for each menu item -->
		<!-- the $item is available on scope and is the reference to the menu item object -->
		{{$item}}
	</div>
</div>

Example items object structure:

[
	{
		item: {}, // this object will be referenced as the $item on scope
		children: []
	},
	{
		item: {},
		children: [
			{
				item: {},
				children: []
			}
		]
	},
	{
		item: {},
		children: []
	}
]

Each nestable element in the DOM gets it's own non-isolated scope just like with ng-repeat.

Also the options object can be passed to the directive as the ng-nestable attribute. Those options will be passed to the jQuery nestable function when creating a nestable.

===

The module also exposes a $nestableProvider that can be injected into a config block. It provides two methods:

  • $nestableProvider.modelName(str) - can be used to set the model name variable inside each nestable element. The default value of model name is $item.

  • $nestableProvider.defaultOptions(obj) - can be used to set some default options for the nestable jquery plugin. Those options include the following: (extract from the jQuery nestable readme)

     maxDepth        : number of levels an item can be nested (default 5)
     group           : group ID to allow dragging between lists (default 0)
    
     listNodeName    : The HTML element to create for lists (default 'ol')
     itemNodeName    : The HTML element to create for list items (default 'li')
     rootClass       : The class of the root element .nestable() was used on (default 'dd')
     listClass       : The class of all list elements (default 'dd-list')
     itemClass       : The class of all list item elements (default 'dd-item')
     dragClass       : The class applied to the list element that is being dragged (default 'dd-dragel')
     handleClass     : The class of the content element inside each list item (default 'dd-handle')
     collapsedClass  : The class applied to lists that have been collapsed (default 'dd-collapsed')
     placeClass      : The class of the placeholder element (default 'dd-placeholder')
     emptyClass      : The class used for empty list placeholder elements (default 'dd-empty')
     expandBtnHTML   : The HTML text used to generate a list item expand button (default '<button data-action="expand">Expand></button>')
     collapseBtnHTML : The HTML text used to generate a list item collapse button (default '<button data-action="collapse">Collapse</button>')

Also note that the ng-sortable directive uses ngModelController to read and write to the provided model object and is fully compliant with $formatters and $parsers.
