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 🙏

Usage

Initializing Gomemextra

Create a new instance of gomemextra:

const gomemextra = new Gomemextra();
const gomemextra = new Gomemextra(logEnabled, errorEnabled);
// logEnabled (default: true): Set to false to disable logs.
// errorEnabled (default: true): Set to false to disable errors.

Launch Gosumemory

// Launch gosumemory process
const launched = gomemextra.launch();
console.log('Process launched:', launched);

Check Process Status

// Check if process is running
const isRunning = gomemextra.isRunning();
console.log('Process running:', isRunning);

// Get process ID
const pid = gomemextra.getProcessId();
console.log('Process ID:', pid);

Close Gosumemory

// Close gosumemory process
const closed = gomemextra.close();
console.log('Process closed:', closed);

Getting server IP address and update value

// Get server IP address
const address = gomemextra.getAdress();
console.log('Server IP Address:', address);

// Get update value
const update = gomemextra.getUpdate();
console.log('Update Value:', update);

Setting Server Port and Update Value

// Set server port (returns true if successful)
const portSet = gomemextra.setPort(8080);
console.log('Port set successfully:', portSet);

// Set update value (returns true if successful)
const updateSet = gomemextra.setUpdate(5000);
console.log('Update interval set successfully:', updateSet);

Retrieving Data from gosumemory service

// Retrieve data from gosumemory service
try {
    const data = await gomemextra.data();
    console.log('Data from gosumemory:', data);
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error retrieving data:', error.message);
}

// With custom retry settings
try {
    const data = await gomemextra.data(15, 2000); // 15 attempts, 2s delay
    console.log('Data from gosumemory:', data);
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error retrieving data:', error.message);
}
