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

react-fast-image

Early stages performant React image component.

I'm not sure the API will be similar to React Native Fast Image, but I didn't want to think up another name.

If this goes well I might merge the projects.

Features

  • Lazy loading.
  • Async decoding.
    • Uses img.decode() to decode images before adding them to the DOM.
  • Supports HTML5 video GIFS.
  • Works for users with JS disabled. When SSR is used media is rendered inside <noscript>.
  • Uses padding to reserve space before media is loaded. This reduces UI jank.

Async Decoding

This is very important to prevent frame drops.

Imagine this scenario:

  • A user is scrolling down a page.
  • As they scroll an image loads in (lazy loading).
  • At that time the image is decoded on the main thread.
  • This causes a frame drop, which makes scrolling unpleasant.
  • This looks even worse if there is supposed to be an enter animation on the image.

To prevent this FastImage does decoding of images off the main thread on browsers that support it.

TypeScript

If you're building up props to pass into FastImage you can use FastImageBestProps, FastImageImageBestProps, and FastImageVideoBestProps. Those types mark all the best practice props as required which will help you make sure you don't forget any of them.

Usage

npm install react-fast-image
# or
yarn add react-fast-image
