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 🙏

v0.1.0

Published

Pure rules for generic entity aliases, hierarchy cycles, and hostname claims.

Readme

@vouchington/typed-entities

Pure, schema-less rules for applications with aliases, entity merges, parent hierarchies, and exclusive hostname claims. The package performs no I/O and owns no transaction, database, entity type, authorization, lifecycle, audit, queue, or cache behavior.

import { planAliasMerge, planHostnameClaim } from '@vouchington/typed-entities'

const merge = planAliasMerge({
  destinationId: 'organization-2',
  owners: [{ alias: 'acme', entityId: 'organization-1' }],
  sourceAliases: [],
  sourceId: 'organization-1',
  sourceSlug: 'Acme',
})
// { aliases: ['acme'] }

const hostname = planHostnameClaim({
  currentPrimary: null,
  entityId: 'organization-2',
  kind: 'primary',
  requestedClaim: null,
  value: 'acme.example',
})

Rules

  • normalizeAlias and normalizeHostname use Vouchington's generic normalizers by default, and accept an injected stricter normalizer when an application needs one.
  • planAliasClaim rejects a foreign owner and returns whether an unclaimed alias needs writing.
  • planAliasMerge rejects self-merges and third-party alias ownership. It includes the source slug, normalizes and deduplicates the aliases, then returns the aliases to transfer.
  • planHostnameClaim enforces exclusive ownership, primary/additional transitions, replacement of an entity's prior primary claim, and explicitly permitted reclamation. The application decides whether a stale or inactive foreign owner is reclaimable. requestedClaim is the existing claim on the requested hostname; currentPrimary is the claimant's existing primary claim. Additional claims coexist and are not replaced by another additional claim.
  • assertAcyclicParent rejects self and indirect hierarchy cycles from an application-provided list of IDs reachable upward from the proposed parent.

Applications load and lock state, invoke these functions, and apply the resulting plan in their own transaction. Hostname display/reference associations are application data; this package models only exclusive claims.

Failures extend TypedEntityError and expose stable code values. The package contains no SQL or product identifiers.
