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 🙏

Create a React element from a description

This tool transforms a "description" of a React element into a React element, for example:

import reactFromObject from 'react-from-object'

const element = reactFromObject(
  {
    type: 'canvas',
    props: {
      width: '42px',
      height: '42px',
    },
    children: 'foo',
  },
);

// Now element is the same as this:
// <canvas width="42px" height="42px">foo</canvas>

This is useful for passing something to a React app from the server without render to HTML and use dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Instead you can pass a description of a React element and build it on the client side.

It's basically replacing this:

<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: markup }} />

with that:

<div>{reactFromObject(data)}</div>

Format

The element can be either a primitive value or an object. The object is expected to have these properties:

type

This is the name of the element to render. It can be everything that is accepted by React.createElement.

Example:

{
  type: 'div',
}

props (optional)

If present, it has to be an object containing props of the element.

Example:

{
  type: 'img',
  props: {
    src: 'foo',
    alt: 'bar',
  },
}

Warning: the children inside the props object are not processed - either pass them in children or process them beforehand.

children (optional)

This should be either an element or an array of elements.

Example:

{
  type: 'div',
  children: [
    'foo',
    {
      type: 'p',
      children: 'bar',
    },
    'baz',
  ],
}

Performance

I don't really have any measurements, but this should be roughly as performant as handwritten JSX.
