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 🙏

Readme

chicmic_utilities

Here's an overview of each function:

  1. objectToFormData(data): This function converts a JavaScript object into FormData format. It appends each key-value pair from the object to a FormData instance. If a value is an array, it's stringified before appending.

  2. timeAgo(created_at): This function calculates the time elapsed between a given created_at timestamp and the current time. It returns a string indicating how long ago the timestamp was, using different time units like seconds, minutes, hours, or days.

  3. splice(state, element): This function removes a specified element from an array by creating a new array without that element.

  4. TruncateString(str, length, maxCharacter): This function truncates a given string to a specified length and appends ellipsis ("...") if the string is longer than the specified length.

  5. firstCharacter(str, maxCharacter, defaultCharacter): This function returns the first characters of a string up to a specified length. If the string is shorter than the specified length, a default character is returned.

  6. jsonParse(res): This function attempts to parse a string as JSON. If the input is not a string, it returns the input as is.

  7. htmlToText(html): This function converts HTML content into plain text by creating a temporary HTML element and extracting its inner text.

  8. mobileDevice(): This function determines whether the user's device is a mobile device or a desktop device based on the user agent string. It returns a string indicating the device type.

  9. convertToPrice(res): This function converts a price string to a formatted price string with commas.

  10. AmountToFixed(amount, decimalDigits): This function converts an amount to a string representation with a fixed number of decimal digits. If the amount is an integer, it's returned as a string without decimal places.

  11. throttle(func, delay): This is a throttle function that limits the rate at which a given function can be executed, ensuring it's called at most once within a specified time interval.

  12. formatToLocalTimeZone(date, format, timeZone): This function converts a given date and time to the specified time zone and format using the moment-timezone library.
