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 🙏

@shapeshift-labs/frontier-dataflow

Serializable incremental dataflow and materialized-view graphs for Frontier apps.

frontier-dataflow makes derived state explicit: dependency DAGs, source selectors, filters, groupings, aggregates, joins, materialized output paths, stale-node plans, recompute budgets, patches, and provenance records. It answers not just that a dashboard changed, but which source paths contributed to the output.

Package source repositories:

Install

npm install @shapeshift-labs/frontier-dataflow

Example

import {
  compileDataflow,
  createDataflowGraph,
  explainDataflowChange,
  materializeDataflow,
  planDataflowRecompute
} from '@shapeshift-labs/frontier-dataflow';

const graph = compileDataflow(createDataflowGraph({
  id: 'commerce.dashboard',
  nodes: [
    { id: 'orders', sourcePath: '/entities/orders' },
    { id: 'paidOrders', input: 'orders', predicate: { field: 'status', equals: 'paid' } },
    { id: 'ordersByCustomer', input: 'paidOrders', groupBy: 'customerId' },
    { id: 'customerTotals', input: 'ordersByCustomer', aggregate: { op: 'sum', field: 'total' }, outputPath: '/views/customerTotals' },
    { id: 'recentInvoices', sourcePath: '/entities/recentInvoices' },
    { id: 'dashboard', inputs: ['customerTotals', 'recentInvoices'], join: { fields: ['total', 'invoice'] }, outputPath: '/dashboard/revenue' }
  ]
}));

const plan = planDataflowRecompute(graph, {
  patches: [{ op: 'set', path: '/entities/orders/o1/status', value: 'paid' }]
});

const materialized = materializeDataflow(graph, state);
const why = explainDataflowChange(materialized, { path: '/dashboard/revenue/c1' });

Surface

  • createDataflowGraph, defineDataflowNode, compileDataflow, validateDataflowGraph, and queryDataflowGraph describe derived-data DAGs.
  • planDataflowRecompute reports stale nodes, stale source paths, stale output paths, touched rows, and recompute budget from patches or changed paths.
  • materializeDataflow evaluates source/filter/groupBy/aggregate/join nodes and emits materialized output patches.
  • explainDataflowChange returns provenance records for a materialized output path, including source paths and input node ids.
  • createDataflowRegistryGraph and traceDataflowImpact make dataflow graphs queryable with the rest of the Frontier registry surfaces.
  • encodeDataflowJsonl, decodeDataflowJsonl, redactDataflowValue, and createDataflowProof support replay, redaction, and evidence bundles.

Frontier View Boundary

@shapeshift-labs/frontier-view maps data to renderer-neutral view frames, visual channels, validation frames, and action bindings. It should consume dataflow outputs when a UI wants a dashboard or projection, but it should not own the dependency DAG, stale-row computation, recompute budget, or provenance.

@shapeshift-labs/frontier-state and @shapeshift-labs/frontier-state-cache already maintain local views and query indexes. frontier-dataflow sits above those as an inspectable derived-data contract, with structural adapters for state, cache, scheduler, trace, policy, workflow, worker, and view packages.

Benchmarks

Run the package-local benchmark:

npm run bench

The benchmark writes benchmarks/results/frontier-dataflow-package-bench-latest.json when run from the monorepo. These are Frontier-only package measurements for graph creation, compilation, recompute planning, materialization, provenance explanation, impact tracing, registry graph output, JSONL, and proof hashing.
