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

symbol-class

A fork of strict-class, which uses Symbol() for private properties instead of __underscores. This acts as a transitional class system between ES5 and ES6, since Symbol() is more widely supported than class (as of the creation of this package).

Usage

var Class = require('symbol-class');

var Person = Class.extend({
	constructor: function(firstName, lastName) {
		this.firstName = firstName;
		this.lastName = lastName;
	},
	greet: function() {
		console.log('My name is ' + this.name + '.');
	},
	get name() {
		return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName;
	},
	set name(val) {
		var parts = val.split(' ');
		this.firstName = parts[0];
		this.lastName = parts.slice(1).join(' ');
	}
});

var john = new Person('John', 'Smith');
john.greet(); // => "My name is John Smith."

john.name = "John Brown";
john.greet(); // => "My name is John Brown."

Extending a Class

var Pirate = Person.extend({
	greet: function greet() {
		greet.__super.call(this);
		console.log("Arrrrrrr, matey!");
	}
});

var blackbeard = new Pirate('Captain', 'Blackbeard');
blackbeard.greet(); // => "My name is Captain Blackbeard. Arrrrrrr, matey!"

blackbeard.name = "Ghost of Blackbeard";
console.log(blackbeard.firstName); // => "Ghost";

Mixins

Person.addMethods({
	isGhost: function() {
		return /\bghost\b/i.test(this.name);
	}
});

john.isGhost() // => false
blackbeard.isGhost() // => true

Implementation Details

###Only functions### Unlike in strict-class, when using .extend(object) or .addMethods(object), only methods, getters, and setters will be recognized in the object argument. Other properties will be ignored.

###No funny business### Only the object's own properties are recognized, not inherited ones.
