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 🙏

Readme

marcs-observable

www.npmjs.com/package/marcs-observable

marcs-observable is a TypeScript library that provides a simple and efficient way to create and manage observables. An observable is a stream of values or events that other values can react to. This library allows you to create observables, subscribe to them, and publish changes to them. It also supports computed observables, which are observables that depend on other observables.

Installation

npm install marcs-observable

Usage

Creating an Observable

import { ObservableFactory } from "marcs-observable";
const observable = ObservableFactory.create(42);

Subscribing to an Observable

let trackedVal: number | null = null;
observable.subscribe((current: number) => {
  trackedVal = current;
});

Publishing Changes to an Observable

observable.value = 43;

Creating a Computed Observable

const childObservable = ObservableFactory.create(5);
const func = () => childObservable.value * 2;
const parentObservable = ObservableFactory.create(func);

Handling Asynchronous Computations

const func = async () => {
  await Observable.delay(100);
  return 42;
};
const observable = ObservableFactory.create(func);

API

ObservableFactory.create(initialValue: any, ...args: any[]): IObservable

Creates a new observable. If the initial value is a function, the observable becomes a computed observable. Any extra arguments will be passed to the function.

observable.subscribe(handler: (current: any, previous: any) => void): () => void

Subscribes to the observable. The handler function is called whenever the observable's value changes. The function returns an unsubscribe function.

observable.value: any

Gets or sets the value of the observable. If the observable is a computed observable, setting the value will not affect the computed function.

observable.publish(): void

Publishes changes to the observable. This is usually not called directly, but is used internally when the observable's value changes.

observable.compute(): void

Recomputes the value of a computed observable. This is usually not called directly, but is used internally when a dependency of the computed observable changes.

Observable.delay(ms: number)

Returns a promise that resolves after a delay of ms milliseconds. This is used for handling asynchronous computations in computed observables.

Testing

The library includes a comprehensive set of tests to ensure its functionality. You can run these tests using Deno:
