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 🙏

Introduction

The library contains a collection of dispatch functions. All functions with the arity (number of arguments) greater than one are automatically curried, so a partial application is possible.

The library has built-in type definitions, which provide an excellent IDE support.

Installation

Via NPM:

npm i @arrows/dispatch

Via Yarn:

yarn add @arrows/dispatch

All modules can be imported independently (to reduce bundle size), here are some import methods (you can use either CommonJS or ES modules):

import dispatch from '@arrows/dispatch'
import { getType } from '@arrows/dispatch'
import getType from '@arrows/dispatch/getType'

API reference

getType

Retrieves the type of a value (using the internal [[Class]] property). A more useful alternative for the typeof operator.

It does not return custom prototypes - if you need that, use the is function instead.

See: types for the list of the most common values.

See: MDN - Object.prototype.toString.call

Parameters

  • value - Any value

Returns

  • Returns an underlying class as a string.

Interface

(value) => underlying_class_name

Example

getType(1) // -> "Number"
getType(/abc/) // -> "RegExp"
getType([1, 2, 3]) // -> "Array"

identity

Standard identity function - useful as a default dispatch or a placeholder.

Parameters

  • value - Any value

Returns

  • Returns the argument as-is.

Interface

(value) => value

Example

identity('foo') // -> "foo"
identity([1, 2, 3]) // -> [1, 2, 3]

is

Checks if a value is an instance of a prototype/class.

Parameters

  • prototype - A prototype/class with which you want to check the value.
  • value - Any value

Returns

  • Returns true is a value is an instance of a prototype/class, false otherwise.

Interface

(prototype, value) => boolean

Example

class Cat {}
class Dog {}

const cat = new Cat()
const dog = new Dog()

is(Cat, cat) // -> true
is(Dog, cat) // -> false

is(Cat)(cat) // -> true
is(Dog)(cat) // -> false

isIn

Checks if a value is inside an array/set.

Parameters

  • list - An array or a set of values
  • value - Any value

Returns

  • Returns true is a value is inside an array/set, false otherwise.

Interface

(array_or_set, value) => boolean

Examples

const names = ['Alice', 'Joe', 'John']

isIn(names, 'Alice') // -> true
isIn(names, 'Bob') // -> false

isIn(names)('Alice') // -> true
isIn(names)('Bob') // -> false
const names = new Set(['Alice', 'Joe', 'John'])

isIn(names, 'Alice') // -> true
isIn(names, 'Bob') // -> false

isIn(names)('Alice') // -> true
isIn(names)('Bob') // -> false

types

An object that contains a list of the most common types to use with the getType function. You can use it instead of using raw strings (which is error-prone).

Example

getType([1, 2, 3]) === types.Array // -> true

getType(() => null) === types.Function // -> true

getType(Promise.resolve()) === types.Promise // -> true

getType('1') === types.Number // -> false
