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 🙏

An implementation of Facebook's invariant() function built on top of Boom errors

Readme

boom-invariant

This is an implementation of Facebook's invariant() function built on top of Boom, a library for constructing error objects with HTTP status codes. Usage and behavior are similar to the original, but with two noteworthy changes:

  • Error messages are not formatted for you. You should use ES6 template literals to format your error message when calling the function.
  • The third argument is an optional HTTP status code. By default the status code is 400 Bad Request.

Installation

If you're using npm:

npm i --save boom-invariant

If you're using yarn:

yarn add boom-invariant`

Usage

// Throws a Boom error with a 400 `statusCode` when `someCondition` is not truthy.
invariant(someCondition, 'Uh oh! Condition was not met!');
// Throws a Boom error with a 418 `statusCode` when `someCondition` is not truthy.
invariant(someCondition, 'Uh oh! Condition was not met because I\'m a teapot!', 418);

Or if you don't enjoy recalling HTTP status codes:

// Throws a Boom error with a 400 `statusCode` when someCondition is not truthy.
invariant(someCondition, 'Uh oh! I can\'t find the resource!', Boom.notFound);

Note that the error message argument is required.
