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 🙏

});

forEach({ a: 1, b: 2 }, (value, key) => {
  console.log(`${key}: ${value}`);
});

// Grouping
const users = [
  { name: "John", age: 30, dept: "IT" },
  { name: "Jane", age: 25, dept: "HR" },
  { name: "Bob", age: 30, dept: "IT" },
];

groupBy(users, "age");
// => { '25': [{...Jane}], '30': [{...John}, {...Bob}] }

// String transformation
camelCase("hello-world");
// => 'helloWorld'

// Function utilities
const debouncedSave = debounce((data) => {
  console.log("Saving:", data);
}, 300);

// Math operations
mean([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
// => 3

🔧 Tree Shaking

Lodash Updated is fully tree-shakeable. Import only what you need for optimal bundle size:

// ✅ Good - only imports chunk function (~1-2KB)
import { chunk } from "lodash-updated";

// ✅ Also good - named imports
import { chunk, pick, camelCase } from "lodash-updated";

// ⚠️ Imports everything (~45KB minified)
import * as _ from "lodash-updated";

// ❌ Avoid in production - full import
import _ from "lodash-updated";

Bundle Size Comparison

| Import Style | Size (Minified) | Size (Gzipped) | | --------------- | --------------- | -------------- | | Single function | ~1-3 KB | ~0.5-1 KB | | 10 functions | ~8-15 KB | ~3-6 KB | | Full library | ~45 KB | ~12 KB |

🔄 Migration from Lodash

Lodash Updated is a drop-in replacement for Lodash. No code changes required!

// Before (Lodash)
import _ from "lodash";
import { chunk, pick, camelCase } from "lodash";

// After (Lodash Updated) - Same API!
import _ from "lodash-updated";
import { chunk, pick, camelCase } from "lodash-updated";

// All existing code works without modification
_.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4], 2);
_.pick({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }, ["a", "c"]);
_.camelCase("hello world");

🚀 Advanced Usage Examples

Working with Collections

import { groupBy, sortBy, filter, map, reduce } from "lodash-updated";

const products = [
  { name: "Laptop", price: 999, category: "Electronics" },
  { name: "Phone", price: 699, category: "Electronics" },
  { name: "Desk", price: 299, category: "Furniture" },
  { name: "Chair", price: 199, category: "Furniture" },
];

// Group by category
const byCategory = groupBy(products, "category");

// Sort by price
const sorted = sortBy(products, "price");

// Chain operations
const expensiveElectronics = products
  .filter((p) => p.category === "Electronics")
  .filter((p) => p.price > 700)
  .map((p) => p.name);
// => ['Laptop']

// Calculate total
const total = reduce(products, (sum, p) => sum + p.price, 0);
// => 2196

Async Operations

import { debounceAsync, retry, timeout } from "lodash-updated";

// Debounced API call
const searchUsers = debounceAsync(async (query) => {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/users?q=${query}`);
  return response.json();
}, 300);

// Auto-retry with exponential backoff
const fetchWithRetry = async (url) => {
  return retry(
    async () => {
      const response = await fetch(url);
      if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Failed");
      return response.json();
    },
    3, // max 3 retries
    1000, // start with 1s delay
    2 // double delay each time
  );
};

// Add timeout to promises
const data = await timeout(
  fetch("/api/slow-endpoint"),
  5000 // 5 second timeout
);

Type-Safe Operations

import {
  isNonNullable,
  typedKeys,
  assertType,
  createDiscriminantGuard,
} from "lodash-updated";

// Filter nulls with type safety
const values: (number | null)[] = [1, null, 2, undefined, 3];
const numbers: number[] = values.filter(isNonNullable);

// Type-safe object keys
interface User {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  email: string;
}

const user: User = { name: "John", age: 30, email: "[email protected]" };
const keys = typedKeys(user); // Type: ('name' | 'age' | 'email')[]

// Union type discrimination
type Success = { status: "success"; data: any };
type Failure = { status: "error"; message: string };
type Result = Success | Failure;

const isSuccess = createDiscriminantGuard<Result, Success>("status", "success");

const result: Result = getResult();
if (isSuccess(result)) {
  console.log(result.data); // TypeScript knows it's Success
}

Benchmarks

| Operation | lodash-updated | Lodash | Native | | ----------------------- | -------------- | ------ | ------ | | chunk(1000 items) | ~0.1ms | ~0.1ms | N/A | | groupBy(1000 items) | ~2.5ms | ~2.6ms | N/A | | cloneDeep(nested obj) | ~0.8ms | ~0.9ms | N/A | | merge(deep objs) | ~1.2ms | ~1.3ms | N/A |

🔒 TypeScript Support

Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions:

import { chunk, groupBy, pick } from "lodash-updated";

// Full type inference
const numbers = chunk([1, 2, 3, 4], 2); // Type: number[][]

// Generic support
interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const users: User[] = [
  { id: 1, name: "John", age: 30 },
  { id: 2, name: "Jane", age: 25 },
];

const grouped = groupBy(users, "age"); // Type: Record<string, User[]>
const picked = pick(users[0], ["id", "name"]); // Type: Pick<User, 'id' | 'name'>
