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 🙏

Tools to solve constraint satisfaction problems: Constraint Satisfaction Problem Solvers.

npm version node >= 10 size < 1k build status zero deps downloads

Inspired by Russell and Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach" Python code and modified under the MIT license.

Background

A CSP is a specific type of problem that is represented by states and a goal state. The factored representation of each problem state consists of a set of variables and a value (set of attributes) for each. The problem is considered solve, when all values for each variable satisfy all constraints (Russell, Norvig 2010).

Some example of CSPs would be Sudoku, crosswords, scheduling, map-coloring, n-queens, zebra puzzle, and many others. The tools in this csps package help setup and solve CSPs.

Installation and Example Usage

install:

npm i csps

index.ts:

import { CSP, min_conflicts } from "csps";

// define the attributes on your variable
interface VariableAttributes {
  // {[key: string]: string}
}

// Setup your problem
const variables = [
  /* array of strings */
];
const domains = {
  /* var: possible_attributes (type: VariableAttributes[]) */
};
const neighbors = {
  /* var: neighbors (type: <string>[]) */
};
const constraints = (
  var1: string,
  var1Attributes: VariableAttributes[],
  var2: string,
  var2Attributes: VariableAttributes[],
): boolean => {
  // Return true if same variable.
  if (var1 === var2) {
    return true;
  }

  // more constraints that return false...

  // else, return true
  return true;
};

const aCSP = new CSP<VariableAttributes>(variables, domains, neighbors, constraints);

// run min_conflicts on problem
const res = min_conflicts(aCSP);
console.log(res);
// {
//   var1: { attr1: 'value1', attr2: 'value1', attr3: 'value1' },
//   var2: { attr1: 'value2', attr2: 'value2', attr3: 'value2' },
//   var3: { attr1: 'value3', attr2: 'value3', attr3: 'value3' },
// } // or something similar.
