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 🙏

Core types and utilities for void-snippets packages

Readme

@void-snippets/core

Core types, utilities, and helpers shared across the @void-snippets packages. Use this directly if you need the types, branded ID utilities, or catchError in your own TypeScript project.

Installation

npm install @void-snippets/core

Branded IDs

Prevent accidental mixing of structurally identical but semantically different IDs at compile time.

import type { VSId } from '@void-snippets/core';
import { stringToId } from '@void-snippets/core';

type ContactId = VSId<string, 'Contact'>;
type UserId    = VSId<string, 'User'>;

// Convert a raw string (e.g. from a URL param) to a branded ID
const id = stringToId<ContactId>('abc-123'); // ContactId ✅

// TypeScript prevents mixing brands
declare const contactId: ContactId;
declare let   userId: UserId;
userId = contactId; // ✅ Error — brands don't match

catchError

Go-style error handling for TypeScript. Wraps any Promise and returns a [error, null] | [null, data] tuple — no try/catch needed at the call site.

import { catchError } from '@void-snippets/core';

const [err, data] = await catchError(fetchUser(id));
if (err) {
  console.error(err.message);
  return;
}
console.log(data.name); // data is typed correctly here

API Response Types

import type {
  VSPagination,
  VSQueryParams,
  VSDefaultPaginatedResponse,
  VSDefaultSingleResponse,
} from '@void-snippets/core';

| Type | Description | |---|---| | VSPagination | { page, limit, totalPages, totalDocuments } | | VSQueryParams | { page?, limit?, ...rest } | | VSDefaultPaginatedResponse<T> | { data: { items: T[], page, limit, totalPages, totalDocuments } } | | VSDefaultSingleResponse<T> | { data: T } |


Adapter Types

import type { VSAdapters } from '@void-snippets/core';
import { createDefaultAdapters } from '@void-snippets/core';

// Default adapters — works if your API matches the shapes above
const adapters = createDefaultAdapters<User, UserDetail>();

// Custom adapters — for any other API shape
const myAdapters: VSAdapters<MyListResponse, User, MySingleResponse, UserDetail> = {
  fromList: (raw) => ({
    items: raw.results,
    pagination: {
      page: raw.meta.page,
      limit: raw.meta.perPage,
      totalPages: raw.meta.lastPage,
      totalDocuments: raw.meta.total,
    },
  }),
  fromSingle: (raw) => raw.payload,
};
