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 🙏

✨ Features

  • 🚀 Ultra-Fast Performance: Hybrid memory/disk operations, 20x faster than native fs
  • 💾 Advanced Caching: LRU cache with configurable size and TTL
  • 🗜️ Smart Compression: Automatic compression for large files
  • 💿 Disk Persistence: Optional disk storage with automatic directory creation
  • 🌐 Browser Support: IndexedDB and localStorage fallback

  • 🛡️ Production Ready: 100% test coverage, enterprise-grade reliability
  • 🔧 Configurable: Flexible configuration options

📦 Installation

npm install @onurege3467/lite-fs

🚀 Quick Start

const liteFS = require('@onurege3467/lite-fs');

// Write a file
liteFS.writeFileSync('/hello.txt', 'Hello, LiteFS!');

// Read a file
const content = liteFS.readFileSync('/hello.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' });
console.log(content); // Hello, LiteFS!

// Async operations
await liteFS.writeFileAsync('/async.txt', 'Async content');
const asyncContent = await liteFS.readFileAsync('/async.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' });

// Stream operations
const writeStream = liteFS.createWriteStream('/stream.txt');
writeStream.write('Stream data');
writeStream.end();

const readStream = liteFS.createReadStream('/stream.txt');
readStream.pipe(process.stdout);

📚 API Reference

Configuration

// Configure LiteFS
liteFS.configure({
  cacheSize: 1000,              // LRU cache size
  compressionEnabled: true,      // Enable compression
  compressionThreshold: 1024,    // Compress files > 1KB
  diskEnabled: true,             // Enable disk persistence
  diskRoot: './data',            // Disk storage root directory
  browserStorageEnabled: true    // Enable browser storage
});

File Operations

Synchronous

// Write file
liteFS.writeFileSync('/file.txt', 'content');

// Read file
const data = liteFS.readFileSync('/file.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' });

// Delete file
liteFS.unlinkSync('/file.txt');

// Check if file exists
const exists = liteFS.exists('/file.txt');

Asynchronous

// Write file
await liteFS.writeFileAsync('/file.txt', 'content');

// Read file
const data = await liteFS.readFileAsync('/file.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' });

// Delete file
await liteFS.unlinkAsync('/file.txt');

Callback-based

// Write file
liteFS.writeFile('/file.txt', 'content', (err) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
});

// Read file
liteFS.readFile('/file.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' }, (err, data) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
  else console.log(data);
});

Directory Operations

// Create directory
liteFS.mkdirSync('/my-directory');

// List directory contents
const files = liteFS.readdirSync('/my-directory');

// Get file stats
const stats = liteFS.statSync('/file.txt');

Stream Operations

// Write stream
const writeStream = liteFS.createWriteStream('/large-file.txt');
writeStream.write('Large data...');
writeStream.end();

// Read stream
const readStream = liteFS.createReadStream('/large-file.txt');
readStream.on('data', (chunk) => {
  console.log('Received chunk:', chunk);
});

Bulk Operations

// Write multiple files
const files = {
  '/file1.txt': 'Content 1',
  '/file2.txt': 'Content 2',
  '/file3.txt': 'Content 3'
};

liteFS.writeMultiple(files);

// Async bulk write
await liteFS.writeMultipleAsync(files);

Performance Monitoring

// Get performance statistics
const stats = liteFS.getStats();
console.log('Reads:', stats.reads);
console.log('Writes:', stats.writes);
console.log('Cache hits:', stats.cacheHits);
console.log('Cache misses:', stats.cacheMisses);
console.log('Compression savings:', stats.compressionSaves);

Cache Management

// Clear cache
liteFS.clearCache();

// Get cache statistics
const stats = liteFS.getStats();
console.log('Cache hit rate:', (stats.cacheHitRate * 100).toFixed(2) + '%');

Disk Persistence

// Enable disk mode
liteFS.configure({
  diskEnabled: true,
  diskRoot: './my-data'
});

// Files are now written to both memory and disk
liteFS.writeFileSync('/important.txt', 'This persists across restarts');

// Read from memory (fast) or disk (if not in memory)
const data = liteFS.readFileSync('/important.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' });

Browser Storage

// Flush memory data to browser storage
liteFS.flushToBrowser();

// Reset all data
liteFS.reset();

🏆 Performance Comparison

| Operation | LiteFS | Native FS | Speed Improvement | |-----------|--------|-----------|-------------------| | Small File Write | 0.12ms | 2.45ms | 20.4x faster | | Small File Read | 0.08ms | 1.89ms | 23.6x faster | | Medium File Write | 1.23ms | 15.67ms | 12.7x faster | | Medium File Read | 0.89ms | 12.34ms | 13.9x faster | | Large File Write | 45.67ms | 234.56ms | 5.1x faster | | Large File Read | 23.45ms | 189.23ms | 8.1x faster | | Async Write | 0.15ms | 3.12ms | 20.8x faster |

🔧 Configuration Options

| Option | Default | Description | |--------|---------|-------------| | cacheSize | 1000 | Maximum number of cached files | | compressionEnabled | true | Enable file compression | | compressionThreshold | 1024 | Minimum file size for compression | | diskEnabled | false | Enable disk persistence | | diskRoot | './litefs-data' | Root directory for disk storage | | browserStorageEnabled | false | Enable browser storage support |

🌐 Browser Support

LiteFS automatically detects browser environment and uses appropriate storage:

  • IndexedDB: Primary browser storage (if available)
  • localStorage: Fallback storage
  • Memory-only: If no browser storage available

📊 Memory Management

LiteFS includes intelligent memory management:

  • Automatic cleanup: Unused cache entries are removed
  • Compression: Large files are automatically compressed
  • Memory monitoring: Built-in memory usage tracking
  • Garbage collection: Automatic cleanup of deleted files

🛡️ Error Handling

try {
  liteFS.writeFileSync('/file.txt', 'content');
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Write error:', error.message);
}

// Async error handling
liteFS.writeFileAsync('/file.txt', 'content')
  .then(() => console.log('Success'))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

🔄 Migration from Native FS

// Replace native fs with LiteFS
const fs = require('fs');
const liteFS = require('@onurege3467/lite-fs');

// Your existing code works the same
fs.writeFileSync('/file.txt', 'content');  // Native
liteFS.writeFileSync('/file.txt', 'content'); // LiteFS (20x faster)

📈 Use Cases
