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 🙏

Paged.js - Paged Media Tools

Paged.js is an open-source library to display paginated content in the browser and to generate print books using web technology.

It contains a set of handlers for CSS transformations and fragmented layout which polyfill the Paged Media and Generated Content CSS modules, along with hooks to create new handlers for custom properties.

The currently supported properties can be found on the pagedjs website.

A quick overview to getting started with Paged Media CSS and Paged.js is available on pagedjs.org/documentation.

NPM Module

$ npm install pagedjs
import { Previewer } from 'pagedjs';

let paged = new Previewer();
let flow = paged.preview(DOMContent, ["path/to/css/file.css"], document.body).then((flow) => {
	console.log("Rendered", flow.total, "pages.");
})

Polyfill

Add the the paged.polyfill.js script to replace all @page css and render the html page with the Paged Media styles applied:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/pagedjs/dist/paged.polyfill.js"></script>

Try the polyfill with Aurorae.

By default the polyfill will run automatically as soon as the DOM is ready. However, you can add an async before function or return a Promise to delay the polyfill starting.

<script>
	window.PagedConfig = {
		before: () => {
			return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
				setTimeout(() => { resolve() }, 1000);
			})
		},
		after: (flow) => { console.log("after", flow) },
	};
</script>

Otherwise you can disable auto running the previewer and call window.PagedPolyfill.preview(); whenever you want to start.

<script>
	window.PagedConfig = {
		auto: false,
		after: (flow) => { console.log("after", flow) },
	};

	setTimeout(() => {
		window.PagedPolyfill.preview();
	}, 1000);
</script>

Chunker

Chunks up a document into paged media flows and applies print classes.

Examples:

Polisher

Converts @page css to classes, and applies counters and content.

Examples:

CLI

Command line interface to render out PDFs of HTML files using Puppeteer: https://gitlab.pagedmedia.org/tools/pagedjs-cli.

Modules

Modules are groups of handlers for that apply the layout and styles of a CSS module, such as Generated Content.

New handlers can be registered from import { registerHandlers } from 'pagedjs' or by calling Paged.registerHandlers on an html page.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/pagedjs/dist/paged.polyfill.js"></script>
<script>
	class MyHandler extends Paged.Handler {
		constructor(chunker, polisher, caller) {
			super(chunker, polisher, caller);
		}

		afterPageLayout(pageFragment, page) {
			console.log(pageFragment);
		}
	}
	Paged.registerHandlers(MyHandler);
</script>

Handlers have methods that correspond to the hooks for the parsing, layout and rendering of the Chunker and Polisher. Returning a promise or async function from a method in a handler will complete that task before continuing with the other registered methods for that hook.

// Previewer
beforePreview(content, renderTo)
afterPreview(pages)

// Chunker
beforeParsed(content)
filter(content)
afterParsed(parsed)
beforePageLayout(page)
onPageLayout(pageWrapper, breakToken, layout);
afterPageLayout(pageElement, page, breakToken)
finalizePage(pageElement, page, breakToken)
afterRendered(pages)

// Polisher
beforeTreeParse(text, sheet)
beforeTreeWalk(ast)
afterTreeWalk(ast, sheet)
onUrl(urlNode)
onAtPage(atPageNode)
onRule(ruleNode)
onDeclaration(declarationNode, ruleNode)
onContent(contentNode, declarationNode, ruleNode)

// Layout
layoutNode(node)
renderNode(node, sourceNode, layout)
onOverflow(overflow, rendered, bounds)
onBreakToken(breakToken, overflow, rendered)
afterOverflowRemoved(removed, rendered)
beforeRenderResult(breakToken, pageWrapper)

Setup

Install dependencies

$ npm install

Development

Run the local dev-server with livereload and autocompile on http://localhost:9090/

$ npm start

Deployment

Build the dist output

$ npm run build

Compile the lib output

$ npm run compile

Generate legacy builds with polyfills included

$ npm run legacy

Testing

Testing for Paged.js uses Jest but is split into Tests and Specs.

Tests

Unit tests for Chunker and Polisher methods are run in node using JSDOM.

npm test

Specs

Specs run a html file in Chrome (using puppeteer) to test against CSS specifications.

They can also output a pdf and compare pages (one at a time) in that PDF with samples PDFs (saved as images).

The PDF comparison tests depend on the ghostscript and the ghostscript4js package.

It is recomend to run these in the Docker container below via:

npm run docker-specs

However if you'd like to run the specs outside of Docker, you'll need to install a local version of Ghostscript for your system according to https://www.npmjs.com/package/ghostscript4js#prerequisites

For Mac you can install it with

brew install ghostscript

For Debian you can install it with

sudo apt-get install ghostscript
sudo apt-get install libgs-dev

Now you can install the ghostscript4js library. For Linux you can optionally pass the location ghostscript was installed to in GS4JS_HOME.

GS4JS_HOME="/usr/lib/$(gcc -dumpmachine)" npm install ghostscript4js

To test the pdf output of specs, you'll need to build the library locally.

npm run build

Then run the jest tests in puppeteer.

npm run specs

To debug the results of a test in a browser you can add NODE_ENV=debug

NODE_ENV=debug npm run specs

To update the stored pdf images you can run

npm run specs -- --updateSnapshot

Docker

A pagedmedia/pagedjs docker image contains all the dependencies needed to run the pagedjs development server, as well as the pdf comparison tests.

To build the image run

docker build -t pagedmedia/pagedjs .

By default the container will run the development server with npm start

docker run -it -p 9090:9090 pagedmedia/pagedjs

The tests and specs can be run within the container by passing a seccomp file for Chrome and running npm test

docker run -it --security-opt 'seccomp=seccomp.json' pagedmedia/pagedjs npm test && npm run specs
