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 🙏

Receive Stream Buffer

Receive Stream Buffer is a simple module that will combine all the data from a receive stream into a single buffer. The data in the buffer can then be extracted and used as a string or a buffer.

The buffer stream can be reset which will clear the data and resize it back to its initial size.

An object can be passed to the constructor containing options for this class or the underlying buffer object.

Options specific to this class that can be passed to the constructor are:

  • logger: what to use to log output (required)
  • verbose: should we log anything (default: false)
  • bufferSizeIncrement: By how much should the buffer increase if there is not enough space (default: 10 MB)

Other buffer specific options can be passed as well but this code has only been tested with the default options.

Example usage:

const ReceiveStreamBuffer = require('receive-stream-buffer');

const bufferStream = new ReceiveStreamBuffer({ logger: console, verbose: false, bufferSizeIncrement: 10 * 1024 * 1024 });

inputStream.pipe(bufferStream)
  .on('finish', () => {
    const buf = bufferStream.getData();

    // Do something with buf

    bufferStream.resetData(); // or let it go out of scope and it will be garbage collected

  });

Currently being used to buffer data being streamed to a process. Using the buffer allows large continuous writes to disk instead of many small writes for each chunk.
