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 🙏

van-mdx

A Markdown preprocessor for Vanjs. It combines the simplicity of Markdown syntax with the power and flexibility of Javascript

Demos :

  • Hello World : Open in StackBlitz

Install :

npm i van-mdx@latest

Config :

import {defineConfig} from "vite"
import VanMdx from "van-mdx/vite"
export default defineConfig({
    plugins : [
        VanMdx()
    ]
})

Usage :

  • Article.mdx :
---
 title : "Van-Mdx Starter" 
 name : "world"
 __props__ : 
   background : "tomato"
   data : []
---

import data from "./data.js";
import InteractiveComponent from "./InteractiveComponent.js";

# Hello {name}

<InteractiveComponent data={data} background={tomato}/>
// main.js
import van from "vanjs-core"
import InteractiveArticle,{title} from "./Article.mdx"

const {article} = van.tags;

const Article_1 = article(
    InteractiveArticle({
        background : "yellow"
    })
)

van.add(
    Article_1
)

Features :

  • Simple Integration : Write Markdown as usual, and inject Vanjs components wherever needed.
  • Extensible : Create custom interactive components using Vanjs and use them in any Markdown file.
  • Reusable : Van-Mdx exports a default functional component, allowing you to call it multiple times with different data, enabling dynamic and versatile use.
  • Frontmatter Support : Use YAML syntax in to include metadata like titles, descriptions, or configurations in your Markdown files, and define props to pass data dynamically to Zikojs components.
  • Markdown Support : Use standard Markdown syntax for writing content.
  • HTML Support : Use standard HTML syntax for writing content.
  • JSX Syntax : Declare component using Vanjs Hyperscript syntax, and render it using JSX
  • Props : Pass data to components through props, enabling dynamic rendering and customization of content within your Markdown files.
  • Attributes:
  • ESM : : Supports ECMAScript Modules (ESM), allowing you to import and export modules
  • Expressions : Van-Mdx lets you use JS expressions inside curly braces, like Hello {name}. These expressions can be full JS programs, as long as they evaluate to something renderable. For example, you can use an IIFE like this:
Hello {(()=>{
    const names = ["world", "everyone"];
    const {length} = names
    return names[Math.floor(Math.random()*length)]
})()}
  • Internal scripts : Include JS logic that runs alongside Van-Mdx components but isn't rendered in the output. They can initialize variables or perform side effects...
  • Interleaving : You can use inline markdown elements inside HTML or Vanjs Components
<p>
 ***Hello {name}***
