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 🙏

errmsgs

v1.0.5

Published

A module for generating decent error messages

Readme

ErrMsgs Known Vulnerabilities

A module for generating decent error messages

Installation

yarn add errmsgs

Usage

To initialize the module, use

const errMsgGen = new (require("errmsgs"))();

Getting an error message

Synchronously

errMsgGen.error([Error | String]).then((err) => {
  // do whatever you need with err here
});

Asynchronously

const err = await errMsgGen.error([Error | String]);

Basic Example

// Load the module
const errMsgGen = new (require("errmsgs"))();

// Make the code async
(async () => {
  // Generate the Error Message
  const err = await errMsgGen.error(new Error("Test"));

  // Output the error
  console.error(err);

  // Exit
  process.exit(1);
})();

Sample Output

// This program is error free! Which is why this is a bug report created by an error from this program!

Sorry, but the application has crashed!

oh by the way, that text after the // at the top, is randomly selected from a list of possible messages

Notes

I would've made it synchronous if i could, but i sadly couldn't.
