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 🙏

asyncronous module loader

Example

//ironically loading async-require using syncronaous require.
var asyncRequire = require('async-require');
  • async-require
    • requireAsync(module)Promise.<(module|Error)>
      • [~load - A promisified function that accepts a moduleId as an argument and returns a promise resolving in an object with a toString method such as a Buffer or a String.()](#module_async-require--requireAsync..load - A promisified function that accepts a moduleId as an argument and returns a promise resolving in an object with a toString method such as a Buffer or a String.)

requireAsync(module) ⇒ Promise.<(module|Error)>

Kind: Exported function

| Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | module | string | the path to the module without a .js extension |

Example

//load script myModule.js
asyncRequire('myModule').then(function(module){
  //module has been exported
});

requireAsync~load - A promisified function that accepts a moduleId as an argument and returns a promise resolving in an object with a toString method such as a Buffer or a String.()

load is used by async-require to load the script. By default it load a file relative to the calling module similar to how require works when loading module not installed through npm. Since this function is public you can set a new load method.

Kind: inner method of requireAsync
Access: public
Example
load a script with request

var asyncRequire = require('async-require'),
    request = require('request'),
    Promise = require('promise'),
    //load must return a promise
    get = Promise.promisify(request.get);

    //overwrite the default load
    asyncRequire.load = function(url){
         //get the script
         return get(url).spread(function(res, body){
             //returrn only the body of the script
             return body;
         })
    }
