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

node-typeof

A module for better typeof with Javascript (Nodejs)

Install

npm i node-typeof --save

Import

const type = require('node-typeof');

type.settings({
  type: 'number', //Set it to whatever value you want to check.
  mode: 'fixed', //Fixed = If the value is less than the max value in javascript it's still going to return the value instead of undefined, Normal = It will not change anything and will simply return undefined even though the value could be fixed
  logs: false //This is if it should log errors or warning. We recommend to have this set to true when developing and false when finished projects or modules.
});

More about the settings.

  • type: The type that you want to check it for. This should be set as a string value.
  • mode: There are generally 2 modes. The mode called 'fixed' will not return undefined because the value is not harmfull (With harmfull we mean that it's higher than javascripts max number length). The other mode is called 'normal' and will simply return undefined if the value is not the same as the type declared.
  • logs: This could be either true or false. If true the module will log all the warnings and errors from the module and your input. This is strongly recommended set to true when developing and can later be changed to false on release or when publishing a module ect.

Examples in JS format

// YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK TO THE SETTINGS
type.settings({
  type: 'string',
  mode: 'not',
  logs: false
});

if (type('This is defently a string')){
  console.log('This is a string');
}

Output

This is a string

// YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK TO THE SETTINGS
type.settings({
  type: 'string',
  mode: 'not',
  logs: false
});

if (type(213123)){
  console.log('This is a string');
} else {
  console.log('This is not a string')
}

Output

This is not a string
