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 🙏

Readme

es6-promise-try

A Promise.try shim for ES6 Promises.

Promise.try is an important tool for writing robust and readable code with Promises (this article explains why), but ES6 Promises do not (yet) include this in their specification. This module provides an implementation of Promise.try for ES6 Promises that can be used stand-alone, without modifying Promise's prototype.

The goal of this module is to be functionally equivalent to Bluebird's Promise.try implementation. If you find that it behaves differently in some way, please file a bug.

This module requires ES6 Promises to be available in your environment. If you are targeting a platform that doesn't (always) provide ES6 Promises natively, you will need to use a polyfill like es6-promise.

Maintaining open-source projects takes a lot of time, and the more donations I receive, the more time I can dedicate to open-source. If this module is useful to you, consider making a donation!

You can donate using Bitcoin, PayPal, Flattr, cash-in-mail, SEPA transfers, and pretty much anything else. Thank you!

Contributing

Pull requests welcome. Please make sure your modifications are in line with the overall code style, and ensure that you're editing the files in src/, not those in lib/.

Build tool of choice is gulp; simply run gulp while developing, and it will watch for changes.

Usage

An example from the article:

var promiseTry = require("es6-promise-try");

function getUsername(userId) {
    return promiseTry(function() {
        return database.users.get({id: userID});
    }).then(function(user) {
        return user.name;
    });
}

API

promiseTry(func)

Immediately invokes func - in the same tick of the event loop - and wraps it to provide error-handling and Promises/A+ compatibility, as described in the article. Functionally equivalent to Bluebird's Promise.try.
