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 🙏

Published

A system for creating and combining units to streamline dimensional analysis and simplify unit conversion.

Readme

Unit System

This an NPM package containing system for creating and combining units to streamline dimensional analysis and simplify unit conversion.

It is intended to be used with other packages which implement sets of units (such as the SI units, US Customary units, etc.).

It is also more streamlined to use this system in combination with the Number-like system (available at Vjedi729/number-like), using the UnitNumber sample.

Features

  • Convert numbers to and from a "base unit".
  • Create units based on multiplication from other units.
  • Create custom units which can handle units with offset "zero" values (such as Fahrenheit and Celsius) and units which are non-linear (such as pH and decibels).
  • Unit dimension and mathematical properties are available to check if numbers in particular units can be added linearly or if number in one particular unit can be converted into another.
    • Future feature: helper functions for indicating if/when it is "correct" to add/multiply numbers between two units and what the unit of the result will be.

Typescript

  • Compile time checking of unit dimensions and mathematical properties, allowing compile time checking of compatibility. See UnitNumber in Vjedi729/number-like.
    • Future feature: helper template types for indicating if/when it is "correct" to add/multiply numbers between two units and what the unit of the result will be.
  • Compile-time knowledge of names of units, when names are provided to the constructor, allowing referencing via dictionaries with keys and values defined at compile time.
    • WIP feature: helper template types for referencing units via dictionaries.

Pre-built Units

The SI units (basic and derived) are available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@goggles/unit-system-si-units

Common US Customary units are available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@goggles/unit-system-common-uscs-units

Units which are a work in progress can be seen at https://github.com/Vjedi729/unit-system-miscellaneous-units. It is not recommended to use this package directly in production code, because units will be removed from this package to create various additional packages for logically grouped sets of units.
