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 🙏

String Change Detector

Build Status

This module provides a utility that helps generate granular changes to a string. The StringChangeDetector tracks the current / last known value of the string. After a single edit, the new value can be passed to the StringChangeDetector and the detector will determine the changed made to the string can execute callbacks that communicated them in terms of discrete modifications.

Unlike a more generalized diff, the utility assumes that the new and old values differ by only one single edit. This allows the logic to be more performant than a regular diff algorithm.

Installation

npm install --save @string-change-detector or npm install --save-dev @convergence/string-change-detector

Example Usage

const detector = new StringChangeDetector({
  value: "Hello World",
  onInsert: function(index, value) {
    console.log("'" + value + "' was inserted at index " + index);
    console.log("The value is now: '" + detector.getValue() + "'");
  }, onRemove: function(index, length) {
    console.log(length + " characters were removed at index " + index);
    console.log("The value is now: '" + detector.getValue() + "'");
  }
});

detector.processNewValue("Hello Jim");

Outputs:

5 characters were removed at index 6
The value is now: 'Hello '
'Jim' was inserted at index 6
The value is now: 'Hello Jim'
