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 🙏

tinkaton

v1.0.0

Published

Library to extract information from frontend frameworks

Readme

[!IMPORTANT] Tinkaton is a project made to tinker with web projects in an exploratory fashion, so it should be only used for educational purposes!

Installation

You can get Tinkaton via NPM:

$ npm install tinkaton

Or directly in the browser:

<!-- IIFE build -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/tinkaton/dist/tinkaton.global.js"></script>

Usage

// If you want to use the ESM build, import Tinkaton
import Tinkaton from "https://unpkg.com/tinkaton/dist/tinkaton.js";

const tinkaton = new Tinkaton();
tinkaton.run(); // returns an array with extracted data for each entrypoint found

If you use the IIFE build tinkaton.global.js, you do the following:

// Assuming you loaded tinkaton.global.js beforehand, either importing it through a script or another way
const tinkaton = new Tinkaton.default();
tinkaton.run(); 

Supported Frameworks

| Framework | How is it detected? | What is extracted? | |-----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | Alpine.js | Elements with the x-data attribute | The data instance proxy | | Livewire | Elements with the wire:id attribute | Livewire snapshot information (from the __livewire property) | | Vue 2 | #app elements with a __vue__ property | The entire root component | | Vue 3 | #app elements with a __vue_app__ property | The global properties of the Vue instance | | React | Elements with _reactRootContainer or __reactContainer properties | All properties passed to components down the element tree | | Stimulus | window.Stimulus being defined | The global Stimulus instance (window.Stimulus) | | Turbo | window.Turbo being defined | The global Turbo instance (window.Turbo) | | Ember | window.Ember being defined | The global Ember instance (window.Ember) | | Backbone | window.Backbone being defined | The global Backbone instance (window.Backbone) | | Knockout | window.Knockout being defined | The global Knockout instance (window.Knockout) |

All element-focused extractors also support being passed a custom selector that will be tested for matching properties!
