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 🙏

fn_deferred

v3.2.0

Published

Shim for the JavaScript Promise object to act closer to jQuery, and Promise A.

Readme

fn_deferred 3.0

Fractured Nations Deferred 3.0 ( fn_deferred ) is a deferred object library I developed with mobile games in mind. It is very light, compadible and easy to use.

Purpose: This library is to give Promise A Object support, and ease of use. Jquery is nice, but it is heavy. fn_deferred 3.0 is a micro js shim for the Javascript Promise Object. It is a great stable micro library. Give it a whirl.

Usage:

Initialization

var Deferred = require("fn_deferred");

var deferred = new Deferred();

Callbacks

  • Callbacks can be registered with then(doneFun, FailFun), done(doneFun), fail(failFun), catch(failFun), and always(fun) methods. Always will register the callback with both done and fail arrays.

Multiple callback methods!

However you prefer to get your deferred objects Callbacks it can do them all.

You can pass the callbacks in.

var deferred = new Deferred(doneCallback, failCallback);

You can register them like jquery

deferred.done(doneCallback).fail(failCallback).always(alwaysCallback);

You can register them like traditional Promise A

deferred.then(doneCallback, failCallback);

You can register them like window.Promise

deferred.then(doneCallback).catch(failCallback);  

Check the status of the Deferred

var rejected = deferred.isRejected();
var resolved = deferred.isResolved();
var status = deferred.status();

Get the value of a resolved or rejected Deferred

var deferred = new Deferred();
var value = deferred.value;

Can easily replace Jquery! FN_Deferred Supports promise method.

var deferred = new Deferred();
return deferred.promise(); 

Deferred array support

var deferred = new Deferred();
var defArr = [new Deferred(), new Deferred(), new Deferred(), new Deferred()];
deferred.when(defArr).then(doneCallBack, failCallBack);
