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 🙏

[Node.js] CLASses ASYNChronous

Readme

clasync

[Node.js] CLASses ASYNChronous Your powerful asynchronous imperative code OOP framework. Latest version: 0.11.12

Known Vulnerabilities

npm i -S clasync

Lazy bone

Below is a bunch of intuitive stuff and main explanations on lifecycle of this framework.

dep.js

const {$} = require('clasync');

class Dep extends $ {  // this class extends framework directly

  // framework handlers

  async init() {  // initialization
    const msec = this.$.msecForInit;  // get our static value
    await this.$.delay(msec);  // call framework method: wait before continue
    this.$.log(`Dep is ready in ${msec} msec`);
  }

  async final() {  // finalization
    await this.$.doCommonFinal(this.$.msecForCommonFinal);  // call static method
    const msec = this.msecForFinal;  // get our configured value
    await this.doFinal(msec);  // call non-static method
    this.$.log('Dep finished');
  }

  // custom methods

  static async doCommonFinal(msec) {  // static method
    await this.delay(msec);  // can omit `$` here as we're already in static scope
    this.$.log(`Dep common final in ${msec} msec`); // or can use '$' for portability
  }

  async doFinal(msec) {  // non-static method
    await this.$.delay(msec);  // `$` to use method from static scope
    this.$.log(`Dep final in ${msec} msec`);
  }
}

Dep.msecForInit = 1000;  // static values
Dep.msecForCommonFinal = 1000;

module.exports = Dep;

index.js

const {App} = require('clasync');
const Dep = require('./dep');

class Main extends App {

  // framework handlers

  static async configure() {  // get default configuration for main module
    return {  // will be merged to main class instance
      dep: {msecForFinal: 1500}  // configuration for `Dep` instance
    };
  }  // presence of this static method makes this module launchable

  async init(deps) {  // initialization with dependencies
    await deps({
      $dep: Dep.new(this.dep)  // declare dependency: `Dep` with configuration
    });

    this.$.log('App and all its dependencies are ready');
  }

  async final(reason) {
    this.$.log(`App finished. Reason: ${reason}`);
  }

  async main() {
    this.$.log('Main started');
    await this.$.delay(5000);
    this.$.log('Main finished');
    return 0;  // exit code (reason)
  }
}

Main.gracefulShutdownMsec = 6000;

module.exports = Main;

node .

Dep is ready in 1000 msec
App and all its dependencies are ready
Main started
Main finished
Dep common final in 1000 msec
Dep final in 1500 msec
Dep finished
App finished. Reason: 0

Launch again and after you see Main started press Ctrl+C:

Dep is ready in 1000 msec
App and all its dependencies are ready
Main started
^CDep common final in 1000 msec
Dep final in 1500 msec
Dep finished
App finished. Reason: SIGINT
Main finished

Note the Reason: SIGINT and still clean app shutdown. Change Main.gracefulShutdownMsec = 1500; and launch again. Note app CRITICAL termination before finalizers complete:

Dep is ready in 1000 msec
App and all its dependencies are ready
Main started
Main finished
Dep common final in 1000 msec


--- CRITICAL --- 2018-09-07T08:51:06.097Z
Timed out waiting for finalizers

Completion of Dep final is beyond the graceful shutdown time period. Launch again and after Main started press Ctrl+C twice. Application will terminate immediately.

Async Events

events.js

const {Emitter} = require('../clasync');

class Main extends Emitter {  // this class extends framework indirectly

  // framework handlers

  static async configure() {
    return {
      // no configuration
    };
  }

  async init() {
    this.on('start', async ({msec}) => {
      this.$.log('Main started');
      await this.$.delay(msec);
    }, 0);  // stage 0. no results from this stage

    this.on('start', async ({}) => {
      // results from same stage will be merged into one object
      return {stage1_handler1: 2};  // here is a stage 1 result
    }, 1);  // stage 1

    this.on('start', () => ({stage1_handler2: 2}), 1);  // also stage 1: sync handler
    this.on('start', async ({}) => undefined, 1);  // no result from this stage 1 async handler

    // event handler below won't be processed as non-empty result object
    //   is returned from previous stage
    this.on('start', () => ({stage2_handler1: 3}), 2);

    this.$.log('App and all its dependencies are ready');
  }

  async final(reason) {
    this.$.log(`App finished. Reason: ${reason}`);
  }

  async main() {
    const eventResults = await this.emit('start', {msec: 5000});
    this.$.log('Event result:', eventResults);
    this.$.log('Main finished');
    return 0;
  }
}

module.exports = Main;

node events

App and all its dependencies are ready
Main started
Event result: { stage1_handler1: 2, stage1_handler2: 2 }
Main finished
App finished. Reason: 0

MOAR?
