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 🙏

error-haiku

v1.0.1

Published

A stress-relieving error handler that prints a calming Haiku before your Node.js app crashes.

Readme

npm version License: MIT

Developers hate seeing massive, angry red error logs. What if your errors were poetic?

error-haiku intercepts unhandled crashes and common errors in your Node.js application. Instead of just spitting out a scary stack trace, it prints a calming, beautifully formatted Haiku about what went wrong to help reduce developer stress.


📦 Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install error-haiku

🚀 Quick Start

Simply require and initialize the package at the very top of your application's entry file (e.g., index.js or server.js). It requires zero configuration.

// Add this at the very top of your app!
const errorHaiku = require('error-haiku');
errorHaiku.init();

// The rest of your code below...
console.log("App started...");

🎭 What it looks like

Now, whenever an unhandled exception or rejection occurs, you will be greeted with a beautiful poem before the stack trace.

For example, if you try to call a function that doesn't exist, your terminal will output:

🌸 Function is missing 🌸
🍃 Undefined breaks the whole app 🍃
🍂 Check your recent code 🍂

TypeError: thisIsUndefined is not a function
    at Timeout._onTimeout (/your/app/test.js:12:3)

📚 Supported Error Poetry

Currently, error-haiku is a trained poet in the following error types:

  • TypeError
  • ReferenceError
  • SyntaxError
  • RangeError
  • Generic (A catch-all for unknown crashes)
