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 🙏

Dash Api

Readme

Entry point for dash API:

import {Dash} from 'dash-api'
Dash

First, you need to install middleware into your dispatch function:

import {Dash} from 'dash-api'
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux'

const middleware = [Dash.middleware];

const store = createStore(
  reducer,
  applyMiddleware(...middleware)
)

Now you can dispatch actions from Dash into redux dispatch function.

API

DashAction<T>

All the methods in Dash return instance of DashAction<T>. It is semantically equivalent to the no-arg function, which starts (possibly) asynchronous calculation and returns Promise<T> of the result. DashAction is composable using then(onSuccess, [onFailure]) function, just like usual Promise. It then can be dispatched to dash middleware for execution. Alternatively, you could use DashAction directly by calling runNow() and subscribing to resulting Promise<T>

Dash.middleware

Creates redux middleware capable of executing Dash actions. The middleware basically invokes runNow() on DashActions and dispatches the result. Example:

store.dispatch(Dash.someAction().then(
    function(success){
        return {
            type: "RESULT",
            result: success
        };
    },
    function(failure){
        return {
            type: "ERROR",
            error: failure
        };
    }
));

Dash.gateway(connectionCallback)

Arguments

  • connectionCallback (Function) receiving current active connection. The connection is an object
    • target string - websocket uri
    • connection opaque Connection the object, representing actual websocket connection, needed to pass it as a parameter

Returns

DashAction<GrpcGateway> where GrpcGateway is object with

  • setConnection function, which gets target and returns DashAction<Connection>. target is an object with
    • target websocket uri
    • token auth token

Example:

store.dispatch(Dash.gateway(function(connection){
    store.dispatch({
    type: "CONNECTION_UPDATED",
    connection: connection
    });
}).then(function(handle){
    return {
        type: "SET_CONNECTION_HANDLE",
        handle: handle
    };
}));
//later...
store.dispatch(store.getState().handle.setConnection({
  target: "ws://....",
  token: "auth_token"
}));

`Dash.searchCalls(connection, searchString, [amount])

Arguments

  • connection opaque Connection the connection from Dash.gateway(...)
  • searchString string arbitrary string to use in full-text search, e.g. 'John Smith'
  • [acount] integer max number of results
  • resultCallback function - the callback, which will be called when method finishes with either { success: [....] } or { failure: '...' }

Returns

DashAction<array<CallInfo>> where CallInfo is an object with

  • sessionId string

  • caller string

  • disconnect object

  • result string
