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 🙏

Documentation

| Name | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | children | ({ onItemsRendered: Function, ref: React$Ref }) => React$Node | Render prop. See below for example usage. | | isItemLoaded | (index: number) => boolean | Function responsible for tracking the loaded state of each item. | | itemCount | number | Number of rows in list; can be arbitrary high number if actual number is unknown. | | loadMoreItems | (startIndex: number, stopIndex: number) => Promise<void> | Callback to be invoked when more rows must be loaded. It should return a Promise that is resolved once all data has finished loading. | | minimumBatchSize | ?number | Minimum number of rows to be loaded at a time; defaults to 10. This property can be used to batch requests to reduce HTTP requests. | | threshold | ?number | Threshold at which to pre-fetch data; defaults to 15. A threshold of 15 means that data will start loading when a user scrolls within 15 rows. |

Example usage

The snippet below shows a basic example of how the InfiniteLoader can be used to wrap either a FixedSizeList or VariableSizeList from react-window.

// This value is arbitrary.
// If you know the size of your remote data, you can provide a real value.
// You can also increase this value gradually (as shown in the example below).
const itemCount = 1000;

<InfiniteLoader
  isItemLoaded={isItemLoaded}
  itemCount={itemCount}
  loadMoreItems={loadMoreItems}
>
  {({ onItemsRendered, ref }) => (
    <FixedSizeList
      itemCount={itemCount}
      onItemsRendered={onItemsRendered}
      ref={ref}
      {...otherListProps}
    />
  )}
</InfiniteLoader>

Creating an infinite loading list

The InfiniteLoader component was created to help break large data sets down into chunks that could be just-in-time loaded as they were scrolled into view. It can also be used to create infinite loading lists (e.g. Facebook or Twitter). Here's a basic example of how you might implement that:

function ExampleWrapper({
  // Are there more items to load?
  // (This information comes from the most recent API request.)
  hasNextPage,

  // Are we currently loading a page of items?
  // (This may be an in-flight flag in your Redux store for example.)
  isNextPageLoading,

  // Array of items loaded so far.
  items,

  // Callback function responsible for loading the next page of items.
  loadNextPage
}) {
  // If there are more items to be loaded then add an extra row to hold a loading indicator.
  const itemCount = hasNextPage ? items.length + 1 : items.length;

  // Only load 1 page of items at a time.
  // Pass an empty callback to InfiniteLoader in case it asks us to load more than once.
  const loadMoreItems = isNextPageLoading ? () => {} : loadNextPage;

  // Every row is loaded except for our loading indicator row.
  const isItemLoaded = index => !hasNextPage || index < items.length;

  // Render an item or a loading indicator.
  const Item = ({ index, style }) => {
    let content;
    if (!isItemLoaded(index)) {
      content = "Loading...";
    } else {
      content = items[index].name;
    }

    return <div style={style}>{content}</div>;
  };

  return (
    <InfiniteLoader
      isItemLoaded={isItemLoaded}
      itemCount={itemCount}
      loadMoreItems={loadMoreItems}
    >
      {({ onItemsRendered, ref }) => (
        <FixedSizeList
          itemCount={itemCount}
          onItemsRendered={onItemsRendered}
          ref={ref}
          {...props}
        >
          {Item}
        </FixedSizeList>
      )}
    </InfiniteLoader>
  );
}

Advanced usage

Some use cases require cached items to be reset. For example, after a list has been sorted, previously cached items may be invalid. You can let InfiniteLoader know that it needs to reload cached items by calling the resetloadMoreItemsCache method.

function ExampleWrapper({
  // ...
  sortOrder,
}) {
  // We create a reference for the InfiniteLoader
  const infiniteLoaderRef = useRef(null);
  const hasMountedRef = useRef(false);

  // Each time the sort prop changed we called the method resetloadMoreItemsCache to clear the cache
  useEffect(() => {
    // We only need to reset cached items when "sortOrder" changes.
    // This effect will run on mount too; there's no need to reset in that case.
    if (hasMountedRef.current) {
      if (infiniteLoaderRef.current) {
        infiniteLoaderRef.current.resetloadMoreItemsCache();
      }
    }
    hasMountedRef.current = true;
  }, [sortOrder]);
  
  // ...

  // We passed down the ref to the InfiniteLoader component
  return (
    <InfiniteLoader
      ref={infiniteLoaderRef}
      isItemLoaded={isItemLoaded}
      itemCount={itemCount}
      loadMoreItems={loadMoreItems}
    >
      {({ onItemsRendered, ref }) => (
        // ...
      )}
    </InfiniteLoader>
  );
}
