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

Flat String

This function simplifies the complex C structures that are part of a combined JavaScript string.

If you're frequently combining strings and then using that combined string somewhere else, you might discover that running your string through flatString significantly enhances performance.

In simpler terms, flatString is a function that optimizes the way strings are stored in memory in JavaScript. When you concatenate strings, JavaScript internally creates a complex structure to save memory. However, when you need to use this string, for example, to write it to a file or send it over the network, this complex structure needs to be flattened, which can take time. By using flatString, you flatten the string right after concatenation, making the subsequent use of the string faster.

Installation

yarn add @alwatr/flat-string

Usage

import {flatString} from '@alwatr/flat-string';

myStr = flatString(myStr);
