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 🙏

v1.1.2

Published

Create Web Readable/Writable streams from simple handlers and options.

Readme

Note: I’m using a translation tool, so there may be some inappropriate expressions.

create-web-stream

A library for creating Web API ReadableStream<Uint8Array> and WritableStream<Uint8Array> instances from simple handlers and options. Supports BYOB readers, buffered writers, AbortSignal integration, and guaranteed cleanup callbacks.

Installation

npm install create-web-stream
# or
pnpm add create-web-stream
# or
yarn add create-web-stream

Usage

createReadableStream

Creates a ReadableStream that yields byte data from the handler's read callback.

import { createReadableStream } from "create-web-stream"

const stream = createReadableStream(
  // Handler
  {
    async read() {
      // Return the next chunk. Return null, undefined, or empty Uint8Array to end the stream
      return new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3])
    },
    async release(type, reason) {
      // Clearnup
    },
  }, 
  // Options
  { signal: myAbortSignal } 
)

createBYOBReadableStream

Creates a BYOB-style ReadableStream that reads directly into a buffer provided by the consumer.

import { createBYOBReadableStream } from "create-web-stream"

const stream = createBYOBReadableStream(
  // Handler
  {
    async read(buffer) {
      // Write into buffer and return the number of bytes written. Return 0 to end the stream
      buffer.set(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]), 0)
      return 3
    },
    async release(type, reason) {
      // Clearnup
    },
  },
  // bufferSize for fallback
  4096,
  // Options
  { signal: myAbortSignal }
)

createWritableStream

Creates a WritableStream that passes byte data to the handler's write callback.

import { createWritableStream } from "create-web-stream"

const stream = createWritableStream(
  // Handler
  {
    async write(chunk) {
      console.log("write: ", chunk.byteLength, "bytes")
    },
    async release(type, reason) {
      // Clearnup
    },
  },
  // Options
  {
    signal: myAbortSignal,
    bufferSize: 0, // Unbuffered
    strictBufferSize: false,
    useBufferView: false,
  }
)
