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 things to happen or just wait in general.

Readme

Awaitery

Usage

retry

Retry a callback until it succeeds or you exhaust the configured tries (default 3); optionally wrap each attempt in a timeout and wait between failed attempts. Defaults to 3 tries with no timeout and no wait unless you pass options.

import retry from "awaitery/src/retry.js"

await retry({tries: 3, wait: 1000, timeout: 4000}, async () => {
  const submitButton = await systemTest.findByTestID("signInButton")

  await systemTest.click(submitButton)
})

await retry(async () => {
  const submitButton = await systemTest.findByTestID("signInButton")

  await systemTest.click(submitButton)
})

timeout

Run a callback with a hard timeout; if the timer wins, a TimeoutError is thrown, otherwise the callback’s return value is yielded. Defaults to a 5000ms timeout when called without options.

import timeout from "awaitery/src/timeout.js"

await timeout({timeout: 4000}, async () => {
  const submitButton = await systemTest.findByTestID("signInButton")

  await systemTest.click(submitButton)
})

await timeout(async () => {
  const submitButton = await systemTest.findByTestID("signInButton")

  await systemTest.click(submitButton)
})

wait

Sleep for the given milliseconds.

import wait from "awaitery/src/wait.js"

await wait(1000)

waitFor

Keep retrying a callback while it throws (or rejects) until it eventually succeeds or a timeout is reached; uses a small delay between attempts and rethrows the last error on timeout. Options must be passed as the first argument when provided.

import waitFor from "awaitery/src/wait-for.js"

await waitFor(async () => {
  if (await fileExists(targetPath)) throw new Error("Target file exists")
})

await waitFor({timeout: 2000, wait: 100}, async () => {
  if (await fileExists(targetPath)) throw new Error("Target file exists")
})
