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 🙏

Readme

plat build status

A tool for working with JavaScript platforms agnostically

Installation

Server:

npm install --save plat

Client:

component install jasonkuhrt/plat

API

.isClient
:: Bool

Is true if the JavaScript is executing in a browser. false otherwise.

.isServer
:: Bool

Is true if the JavaScript is executing in NodeJS. false otherwise.

.platform
:: String

Is the label of the platform that the JavaScript is executing on; may be: browser, node.

.GLOBE | .globe
:: Object

Is a reference to the global scope. window in browsers, GLOBAL in NodeJS.

Guide

Throwing

If plat cannot determine the platform being used it will throw an error to let you know. At this point you should investigate why or create an issue/pull-request to justify and support your use-case/platform. The point is that plat will protect your code from executing in ambiguous execution contexts wherein e.g. you think you're in the server but not, etc.

Supported Platforms

Currently supported:

  • Browsers
  • NodeJS

More platform support is welcome by those that know how to unambiguously test for such contexts.
