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 🙏

Prom

A simple collection of functions for working with Javascript promises (Js.Promise) in ReasonML.

API

Prom.make

Use this function to turn a callback into a promise. We can call it to get back a tuple whose first value is a promise that can be passed around, and second value is a function you can call to resolve that promise.

open Prom;

let thingThatReturnsAPromise = () => {
  let (p, resolve) = make();
  thingThatTakesACallback(thingWeWaitedFor => {
    resolve(thingWeWaitedFor)
  });
  p;
}

Prom.map

"map" is another term for Javascript's .then function on a promise. It changes the value inside of a promise into a different value.

open Prom;

// We're talking to a pretend HTTP service that gives us information
// about our fishes.
getNumberOfFishes()
->map(fishesCount => fishesCount * 5);

Prom.flatMap or Prom.andThen

"flatMap" (aka "andThen") is another term for Javascript's .then function on a promise. While "map" changes a value inside a promise, "flatMap" lets you chain promises together, ultimately ending up with just one promise, and potentially changing the value along the way.

open Prom;

// It seems the cost of feeding fish doesn't scale linearly, so we have to
// first get the number of fishes we have, and then ask the fishes service
// how much it'll cost to feed them.
getNumberOfFishes()
->flatMap(fishesCount => getCostOfFoodForFishCount(fishesCount));

Prom.catch

"catch" Just gives us a chance to recover from a rejected promise.

open Prom;

getNumberOfFishes()
->(catch(err => {
  Js.log2("Failed to get fish count from primary service, trying backup", err)
  getNumberOfFishesFromBackupService()
}));

Prom.wrap

"wrap" Takes a value and converts it into a promise of a value, that's all.

open Prom;

let fishCount = 16

thingThatExpectsAPromiseOfFishCount(wrap(fishCount));

Prom.wait

"wait" Is there for when we want to just do something with the result of a value, like printing it to the console, rather than transforming it, or chaining another promise off of it.

open Prom;

getNumberOfFishes()
->wait(Js.log);

Prom.all

"wait" Is there for when we want to just do something with the result of a value, like printing it to the console, rather than transforming it, or chaining another promise off of it.

open Prom;

// Calling this returns a promise of an array of fish details.
let getFishDetails = (fishIds: array(string)) => {
  all(fishIds->Belt.Array.map(getFishDetailsForId))
}
