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 🙏

Runtime typing schemas

Schema API

  • .toString() - identity of schema.
  • .check(val) - type guard.
  • .guard(val) - strict parser.
  • .cast(val) - relaxed caster.
  • .default - default value for casting.

Leaf schemas

  • $mol_schema_enum(...options) - some of constant values (first value as default).
  • $mol_schema_boolean - true or false (default).
  • $mol_schema_string - any string ("" as default).
    • $mol_schema_pattern(regexp) - string that matched to regexp ("" as default).
  • $mol_schema_float - any number (NaN as default).
  • $mol_schema_integer - integer number (0 as default).
  • $mol_schema_range(min,max) - range of values between min (default) and max.
    • $mol_schema_positive - value >= 0
      • $mol_schema_natural - natural number from 0 (default).
    • $mol_schema_negative - value <= 0

Composition schemas

  • $mol_schema_some(...variants) - some of schemas (default of first as default).
    • $mol_schema_maybe(schema) - value or null or undefined (undefined as default).
  • $mol_schema_every(...schemas) - every of schemas for same value (first default casted through all of them).
  • $mol_schema_list(item) - array of same types schema ([] as default).
  • $mol_schema_dict(key,val) - key-value dictionary schema ({} as default).
  • $mol_schema_record({...fields}) - object with typed fields (object with default fields values by default).

Complex example

export abstract class $my_user_main extends $mol_schema_dict({
	name: $mol_schema_string,
	age: $mol_schema_natural,
}) {}

export abstract class $my_user_full extends $mol_schema_dict({
	... $my_user_full.Fields,
	bio: $mol_schema_string,
	flags: $mol_schema_dict( $mol_schema_string, $mol_schema_boolean ),
}) {}

export abstract class $my_article_full extends $mol_schema_partial({
	title: $mol_schema_string,
	body: $mol_schema_string,
	author: $my_user_full,
}) {}

export abstract class $my_article_search extends $mol_schema_some([
	$mol_schema_dict({
		data: $mol_schema_list( $my_article_full ),
	}),
	$mol_schema_dict({
		fail: $mol_schema_pattern( /^\w+$/ ),
	}),
]) {}
response = $my_article_search.guard( response ) // Exception on wrong data
response = $my_article_search.cast( response ) // Defaults instead wrong data
if( $my_user_main.check( user ) ) {
	// user is $my_user_main now
}
const article = $my_article_full.default // default article state

Usage from NPM

import {
	$mol_schema_record: Rec,
	$mol_schema_string: Str,
	/// ...
} from 'mol_schema'

export class Article extends Rec({
	title: Str,
	body: Str,
}) {}
