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 🙏

Dependencies DevDependencies

Installation

npm install react-event-listener

The problem solved

This module provides a declarative way to bind events to a global EventTarget. It's using the React lifecycle to bind and unbind at the right time.

Usage

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import EventListener, {withOptions} from 'react-event-listener';

class MyComponent extends Component {
  handleResize = () => {
    console.log('resize');
  };

  handleScroll = () => {
    console.log('scroll');
  };

  handleMouseMove = () => {
    console.log('mousemove');
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <EventListener
          target="window"
          onResize={this.handleResize}
          onScroll={withOptions(this.handleScroll, {passive: true, capture: false})}
        />
        <EventListener target={document} onMouseMoveCapture={this.handleMouseMove} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Note on server-side rendering

When doing server side rendering, document and window aren't available. You can use a string as a target, or check that they exist before rendering the component.

Note on performance

You should avoid passing inline functions for listeners, because this creates a new Function instance on every render, defeating EventListener's shouldComponentUpdate, and triggering an update cycle where it removes its old listeners and adds its new listeners (so that it can stay up-to-date with the props you passed in).

Note on testing

In this issue from React, TestUtils.Simulate. methods won't bubble up to window or document. As a result, you must use document.dispatchEvent or simulate event using native DOM api.

See our test cases for more information.
