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 🙏

checkvar

Build Status

It checks if a variable is empty or not and returns true (not empty) or false (empty) accordingly. It also can return a CheckResponse type as response, which also includes the variable type.

type CheckResponse = {
    type: CheckType
    result: boolean
}

This module doesn't strictly consider truthy/falsy values, so if you checks 0 or false, you'll get true as result.
Always use the === operator to check for booleans and 0 or 1, use this module just to exclude the "emptiness" of a value.

Definitions of emptiness

This module has the following rules:

  • null and undefined are always considered empty, as as such the function will return false.
  • number will be false only when the passed value is NaN. 0 will return true instead, as it may be a desired value.
  • a function will be considered empty only if it's body is completely empty (comments are stripped away).
  • boolean, symbol and bigint will always return true.
  • a string will be considered empty if, after having being trimmed, its length is 0.
  • an object will be considered empty if its JSON serialization returns {} or '""' (if it was a wrapper for a primitive type like new String()).
