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 🙏

Published

Extremely useful classes to use in every project.

Readme

EXTREMELY USEFUL CLASSES

This library provides extremely useful classes for javascript.

installatiion

install with yarn:

$ yarn add important-extremely-useful-classes

or npm:

$ npm i important-extremely-useful-classes

Logger

This is useful for when you want logs but you don't want them to show if logging is not enabled, and you don't want an if statement everytime you need to log something when enableLogging is enabled.

new Logger(loggingEnabled?: boolean);

Usage:


const { Logger } = require('important-extremely-useful-classes')
function logHiIfLoggingIsEnabled(enableLogging) {
  var logger = new Logger(enableLogging)
  logger.log('Hi')
}

logHiIfLoggingIsEnabled(false) // no output
logHiIfLoggingIsEnabled(true) // Output: Hi

SuccessorHelper

This is a helper to get the successor of a number.

Usage:

const { SuccessorHelper } = require('important-extremely-useful-classes')
const { s } = new SuccessorHelper()

console.log(s(1)) // 2
console.log(s(32767)) // 32768
console.log(s(53)) // 54

TernaryCompare

Class alternative for ternary statements. (NOT ES5 ALTERNATIVE AS IT USES TERNARY STATEMENT IN THE CODE OF THE CLASS!!!!!!!!!!)

Usage:


// Old
function hiorbye(sayBye) {
  console.log(sayBye ? 'bye' : 'hi')
}
console.log(hiorbye(true)) // bye
console.log(hiorbye(false)) // hi

// New
const { TernaryCompare } = require('important-extremely-useful-classes')
function hiorbye(sayBye) {
  console.log(new TernaryCompare(sayBye, 'bye', 'hi').compare())
}
console.log(hiorbye(true)) // bye
console.log(hiorbye(false)) // hi

ObjectOrFunctionParemeterName

To refer to an object's property's key name semantically with isTrue.


// Old
const isTrue = require('is-true')

console.log(isTrue({ value: true }, 'value')) // true
console.log(isTrue({ value: 'sdfsdfsdf'}, 'value')) // false

// New

const isTrue = require('is-true')
const { ObjectOrFunctionParemeterName } = require('important-extremely-useful-classes')

console.log(isTrue({ value: true }, new ObjectOrFunctionParemeterName('value').getName())) // true
console.log(isTrue({ value: 'sdfsdfsdf'}, new ObjectOrFunctionParemeterName('value').getName())) // false

CLIColorInstance and PicoColorInstance

rely on this library to get cli-color and picocolors instead of you doing it yourself

// old

var cl = require('cli-color')
var picocolor = require('picocolors')


// new

var { CLIColorInstance, PicoColorInstance } = require("important-extremely-useful-classes")

var clc = new CLIColorInstance().getInstance()

var picocolor = new PicoColorInstance().getInstance()
