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 🙏

Wait for an array/obj of async functions and return values when done.

Readme

This small module waits for an array/object of functions with a callback variable to be done and returns the results when all are done.

Example functionality:

var wait = require("async-func");

//Set a random number generator for the async functions
function rand(a, b) {
	return Math.floor(Math.random()*(b-a+1)+a);
}

//First example function
function examplefunc1(callback) {
	setTimeout(function() {
		callback("firstfuncdata");
	}, rand(1, 1000));
}

//Another example function
function test3(data, callback) {
	setTimeout(function() {
		callback(data);
	}, rand(1, 1000));
}

//An object version of a list of async calls
var calls = {
	//Call a normal async function
	data1: examplefunc1,
	//Call an anonymous async function
	data2: function(callback) {
		setTimeout(function() {
			callback("test2");
		}, rand(1, 1000));
	},
	//Call an async function that needs parameters
	data3: function(callback) {
		test3("datahere_data3", callback);
	},
	//Call an anonymous async function that needs parameters
	data4: function(callback) {
		var param = "datahere_data4";

		(function(data, subcallback) {
			setTimeout(function() {
				subcallback(data);
			}, rand(1, 1000));
		})(param, callback);
	}
};

//An array version of a list of async calls
var calls2 = [
	//Call a normal async function
	examplefunc1,
	//Call an anonymous async function
	function(callback) {
		setTimeout(function() {
			callback("test2");
		}, rand(1, 1000));
	},
	//Call an async function that needs parameters
	function(callback) {
		test3("datahere_data3", callback);
	},
	//Call an anonymous async function that needs parameters
	function(callback) {
		var param = "datahere_data4";

		(function(data, subcallback) {
			setTimeout(function() {
				subcallback(data);
			}, rand(1, 1000));
		})(param, callback);
	}
];

//Calls can even be combined with each other
var calls3 = [
	function(callback) {
		wait(calls, callback);
	},
	function(callback) {
		wait(calls2, callback);
	}
];

wait(calls3, function(data) {
	data = JSON.stringify(data, null, 4);
	console.log(data);
});

The resulting callback would log something like this:

[
	{
		"data3": "datahere_data3",
		"data2": "test2",
		"data4": "datahere_data4",
		"data1": "firstfuncdata"
	},
	[
		"firstfuncdata",
		"test2",
		"datahere_data3",
		"datahere_data4"
	]
]
