English | 简体中文

Introduction

IconPark gives access to more than 2000 high-quality icons, and introduces an interface for customizing your icons Instead of using various SVG source files to achieve different themes, we implement a technology transforming attributes of a single SVG source file into multiple themes. Besides, we provide cross-platform components, including react-icons, vue-icons and svg-icons. So whether you are a designer or a developer, you can use them in your designs or your projects for free.

Packages

Generate Cross-platform Components

Find packages in packages folder. NPM packages make it painless to import icon components to your project.

Multiple themes

Basic coloring can be done by setting two attributes on the node: fill and stroke…


2. Fre

5. Turbo

Turbo uses complementary techniques to dramatically reduce the amount of custom JavaScript that most web applications will need to write

GitHub logo hotwired / turbo

The speed of a single-page web application without having to write any JavaScript

Turbo

Turbo uses complementary techniques to dramatically reduce the amount of custom JavaScript that most web applications will need to write:

  • Turbo Drive accelerates links and form submissions by negating the need for full page reloads.
  • Turbo Frames decompose pages into independent contexts, which scope navigation and can be lazily loaded.
  • Turbo Streams deliver page changes over WebSocket or in response to form submissions using just HTML and a set of CRUD-like actions.
  • Turbo Native lets your majestic monolith form the center of your native iOS and Android apps, with seamless transitions between web and native sections.

It's all done by sending HTML over the wire. And for those instances when that's not enough, you can reach for the other side of Hotwire, and finish the job with Stimulus.

7. GraphQL Tools

🔧 Utility library for GraphQL to build, stitch and mock GraphQL schemas in the SDL-first approach

GraphQLConf 2024 Banner: September 10-12, San Francisco. Hosted by the GraphQL Foundation

toolkit

npm version CI Discord Chat code style: prettier renovate-app badge

This package provides a few useful ways to create a GraphQL schema:

  1. Use the GraphQL schema language to generate a schema with full support for resolvers, interfaces, unions, and custom scalars. The schema produced is completely compatible with GraphQL.js.
  2. Mock your GraphQL API with fine-grained per-type mocking
  3. Automatically stitch multiple schemas together into one larger API

Documentation

Read the docs.

Binding to HTTP

If you want to bind your JavaScript GraphQL schema to an HTTP server, you can use GraphQL Yoga .

You can develop your JavaScript based GraphQL API with graphql-tools and GraphQL Yoga together One to write the schema and resolver code, and the other to connect it to a web server.

Example

When using graphql-tools, you describe the schema as a GraphQL type language string:

const typeDefs = /* GraphQL */ `
  type Author {
    id: ID! # the ! means that every author object

8. react-worker-components

React Worker Components simplify using Web Workers

React Worker Components simplify using Web Workers

Introduction

This is an experimental project inspired by React Server Component.

I've been developing several libraries to interact with Web Workers.

While they provide various interfaces with good abstraction RSC style would be another approach which is useful for Web Workers.

RWC is a library to provide RSC-like interface for Web Workers. It serializes React elements keeping their referential identities as much as possible. If a React component is "registered", it will be referenced by string names, and it can be used at the both ends.

Project Status: Experimental but basic examples are working. Welcome to try realistic examples.

Install

npm install react-worker-components
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Usage

TextBox.js

This is a component that can be used in the RWC tree. register is important to enable serialization.

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { register } from 'react-worker-components'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Smoldash - Tiny 2kb Lodash alternative

Note: This library hasn't been battle tested yet. There may be bugs, although none have been reported so far.

Lodash is an amazing utility library for JavaScript, but with recent additions to the ECMAScript much of it can be replaced with vanilla features. This library aims to be a thinner alternative with modern browsers in mind.

  • _.at
  • _.clone
  • _.cloneDeep
  • _.compact
  • _.every
  • _.findIndex
  • _.find
  • _.filter

Feel free to raise an issue or submit a pull request.

CSS only

Bulma is a CSS framework. As such, the sole output is a single CSS file: bulma.css

You can either use that file, "out of the box", or download the Sass source files to customize the variables.

There is no JavaScript included. People generally want to use their own JS implementation (and usually already have one). Bulma can be considered "environment agnostic": it's just the style layer on top of the logic.

Browser Support

Bulma uses autoprefixer to make (most) Flexbox…
