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

mixi is a library that enables the easy composition of constructors from other constructors/objects, like so:

function Foo() { }
Foo.prototype.a = 'venusaur';

function Bar() { }
Bar.prototype.b = 'blastoise';

var baz = {
	c: 'charizard'
};

var Constructor = mixi(Foo, Bar, baz);

var instance = new Constructor();

console.log(instance.venusaur, instance.blastoise, instance.charizard);

// prints:
// "venusaur", "blastoise", "charizard"

mixi creates a new constructor, merging the prototypes of the constructors you pass in to create the new constructor's consolidated prototype. If you pass in objects, those objects are merged into the result, as well.

However, interesting things happen if you pass in objects that share the same key:

###Functions If two or more supplied arguments share a function property, mixi will create a new wrapper function that calls each shared property sequentially, in the opposite order from how they were passed in.

var foo = {
	fn: function fn() {
		console.log('last');
	}
};

var bar = {
	fn: function fn() {
		console.log('first');
	}
};

var instance = new (mixi(foo, bar));

instance.fn();

// prints:
// "first"
// "last"

###Objects If two or more supplied arguments share an object property, mixi will merge these objects into a new object and assign it as the value of the shared key.

var foo = {
	object: {
		x: 1,
		y: 2
	}
};

var bar = {
	object: {
		x: 3,
		z: 4
	}
};

var instance = new (mixi(foo, bar));

console.log(instance.object);

// prints:
// "{ x: 3, y: 2, z: 4 }"

###Arrays If two or more supplied arguments share an array property, mixi will flatten these arrays and store the flattened array as the value of the shared key.

var foo = {
	array: [ 1, 2 ]
};

var bar = {
	array: [ 3, 4 ]
};

var instance = new (mixi(foo, bar));

console.log(instance.array);

// prints:
// "[ 1, 2, 3, 4]"

mixi has a couple more tricks for dealing with invocation order of merged functions:

###.break() When a merged function is being executed, a .break function property exists on the execution context. Calling .break() will stop any remaining sibling functions for the current key from being executed:

var foo = {
	baz: function baz() {
		// this will never be called
		console.log('last');
	}
};

var bar = {
	baz: function baz() {
		console.log('first');
		this.break();
	}
};

var instance = new (mixi(foo, bar));

instance.baz();

// prints:
// "first"

###.continue() When a merged function is being executed, a .continue function property exists on the execution context. Calling .continue() will immediately advance to the next wrapped sibling function for the current key:

var foo = {
	baz: function baz() {
		console.log('last');
	}
};

var bar = {
	baz: function baz() {
		this.continue();
		console.log('first');
	}
};

var instance = new (mixi(foo, bar));

instance.baz();

// prints:
// "last"
// "first"
