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 🙏

Consume promises and generators to create a state

Readme

genstate

Consume promises and generators to create a state with a highly declarative asynchrony. eg:

import { State } from "genstate";

let initialState = {};

State(initialState);

State.map = async function*(state, search) {
    yield {loading : true,search}

    let response = async fetch(`?search=${search}`);

    if(response.status != 200) return {error: true,search};

    return {
        search,
        data : await response.json(),
    }
};

State.send("any...", state => {
	console.log(state);
});

Special effects

Return of new generators

the host generator, can return other gestant generators, consumes the returns recursively.

Opening concurrent status

for a correct update of the concurrent state in the asynchronous process you must return a function this will concur the concurrent state.

async function* map(state, data) {
	yield state => state + 1;
	yield state => state + 1;
	yield state => state + 1;
	return state => state + 1;
}

Return constants

return constants allow changing state behavior.

CLEAR

this constant will ignore all the executions already declared, to focus only on the one that declares it is constant, by means of this constant, you can make the asynchrony have a cancelable effect optimizing the concurrence.

import { CLEAR } from "genstate";

async function* map(state, data) {
	yield CLEAR;
	yield 1;
	await delay(1000);
	yield 2;
	await delay(1000);
	return 3;
}

BREAK

allows you to ignore asynchronous execution.

CONTINUE

since genstate will read the returns of the promise to define a next state, if you force your promise to return the constant CONTINUE, it will wait for the promise but not associate the return of this as a state.

hooks

import useGenerator from "genstate/atomico";

function WebComponent() {
	let [state, send] = useGenerator(async *(state,search)=>{
        yield {loading : true,search}

        let response = async fetch(`?search=${search}`);

        if(response.status != 200) return {error: true,search};

        return {
            search,
            data : await response.json(),
        }
    });
}
