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

@ddatabase/byte-stream

A Readable stream wrapper around dDatabase that supports reading byte ranges.

When provided with optional start/end block heuristics, this module will efficiently sync only those blocks which contain the specified range.

Supports asynchronously specifying stream options, as well as the input feed, to remove the need for additional stream management modules like duplexify.

Most of the code has been extracted from dDrive.

Usage

The following example will return a byte stream of the entire input feed.

const ram = require('random-access-memory')
const ddatabase = require('ddatabase')
const createByteStream = require('@ddatabase/byte-stream')

let base = ddatabase(ram)
let stream = createByteStream({
  feed: base
})

API

stream = createStream([options])

Creates a new byte stream.

If specified, options can include:

{
  feed: base, // A dDatabase.
  byteOffset: 0, // Starting offset in bytes from the start of the feed.
  byteLength: 10, // The number of bytes to read.
  blockOffset: 0, // An optional starting block heuristic (optimization).
  blockLength: 10 // An optional block length that should contain the entire range (optimization).
}

stream.start([options])

Starts downloading and streaming according to the specified options.

Options are the same as in createStream. If a feed was specified in the stream constructor, then one should not provide another stream in the start options.
