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 🙏

arraylru

A really fast LRU cache for array items (numeric keys)

npm install array-lru

build status

Credit to @dominictarr for telling me about this neat algorithm for LRUs.

Usage

var alru = require('array-lru')
var lru = alru(512) // create a lru that can contain 512 values

lru.set(42, {hello: 'world'})
console.log(lru.get(42)) // {hello: 'world'}

It works similar to a normal hash table except when a bucket is full it will evict the oldest one from the bucket to make room for the new value.

API

var lru = alru(size, [options])

Create a new LRU instance. Options include:

{
  collisions: 4, // how many hash collisions before evicting (default 4)
  evict: fn, // call this function with (index, value) when someone is evicted
  indexedValues: false // set to true if your values has a .index property
}

Size should be a multiple of collections. If not, it will be coerced into one.

var value = lru.get(index)

Get a value from the cache. If the index is not found, null is returned.

lru.set(index, value)

Insert a new value in the cache. If there is no room in the hash bucket that index maps to, the oldest value in the bucket will be evicted.

Performance

On my MacBook 12" I can set/get around 7.500.000 values per second, YMMV. Run the benchmark using npm run bench to test it for yourself.
