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

Bab

A Rust implementation of the Bab family of hash functions in general, and the WILLIAM3 instantiation in particular.

See the docs for more details.

Fork

This is a fork of worm-blossom/bab_rs.

This fork builds a web assembly version of the wormblossom rust library.

Example

import init, {
    william3_hash,
    William3HasherWasm,
    william3_width
} from '@substrate-system/bab'

await init()

const input = 'hello bab'
const encoder = new TextEncoder()
const data = encoder.encode(input)
const hash = william3_hash(data)

const hasher = new William3HasherWasm()
hasher.write(encoder.encode('hello'))
const hash2 = hasher.finish_hex();

console.log(hash2)
// 5d70555767754cbd...

Start the example page with a localhost vite server:

npm start

WASM

Compile the Rust code to web assembly.

Prerequisites

Install wasm-pack:

cargo install wasm-pack

Compile

npm run build

This will create a pkg/ directory containing the compiled WebAssembly module.


bump the version and publish

Cargo.tonl is the source of truth for the version, because this is primarily a rust package.

Bump the version

There's a cargo plugin cargo-edit that makes this easier.

Install cargo-edit (first time only)

cargo install cargo-edit

Bump patch version (0.4.3 → 0.4.4)

cargo set-version --bump patch

Bump minor version (0.4.3 → 0.5.0)

cargo set-version --bump minor

Bump major version (0.4.3 → 1.0.0)

cargo set-version --bump major

Set specific version

cargo set-version 0.5.0

Publish

Publish the package to npm.

Build the WASM package

Frist build the package. It will use the version number from Cargo.toml.

./build-wasm.sh

Navigate to the generated package directory

cd pkg

publish

npm publish

Test

cargo test --features std

Publish to crates.io

cargo publish

Consume

See the file ./example/index.ts for an example of using this module.
