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 🙏

⚡ Super fast hashing library

Usage

Install package:

# nyxi
nyxi nyxhash

# pnpm
pnpm i nyxhash

# npm
npm i nyxhash

# yarn
yarn add nyxhash

Import:

// ESM
import { hash, murmurHash, objectHash, sha256 } from 'nyxhash'

// CommonJS
const { hash, objectHash, murmurHash, sha256 } = require('nyxhash')

hash(object, options?)

Converts object value into a string hash using objectHash and then applies sha256 with Base64 encoding (trimmed by length of 10).

Usage:

import { hash } from 'nyxhash'

// "dZbtA7f0lK"
console.log(hash({ foo: 'bar' }))

objectHash(object, options?)

Converts a nest object value into a stable and safe string for hashing.

Usage:

import { objectHash } from 'nyxhash'

// "object:1:string:3:foo:string:3:bar,"
console.log(objectHash({ foo: 'bar' }))

isEqual(obj1, obj2, options?)

Compare two objects using reference equality and stable object hashing.

Usage:

import { isEqual } from 'nyxhash'

// true
console.log(isEqual({ a: 1, b: 2 }, { b: 2, a: 1 }))

diff(obj1, obj2, options?)

Compare two objects with nested hashing. Returns an array of changes.

Returned value is an array of diff entries with $key, $hash, $value and $props. When logging, a string version of changelog is displayed.

Usage:

import { diff } from 'nyxhash'

function createObject() {
   return {
      foo: 'bar',
      nested: {
         y: 123,
         bar: {
            baz: '123',
         },
      },
   }
}

const obj1 = createObject()
const obj2 = createObject()

obj2.nested.x = 123
delete obj2.nested.y
obj2.nested.bar.baz = 123

const diff = diff(obj1, obj2)

// [-] Removed nested.y
// [~] Changed nested.bar.baz from "123" to 123
// [+] Added   nested.x
console.log(diff(obj1, obj2))

murmurHash(str)

Converts input string (of any length) into a 32-bit positive integer using MurmurHash3.

Usage:

import { murmurHash } from 'nyxhash'

// "2708020327"
console.log(murmurHash('Hello World'))

sha256

Create a secure SHA 256 digest from input string.

import { sha256 } from 'nyxhash'

// "a591a6d40bf420404a011733cfb7b190d62c65bf0bcda32b57b277d9ad9f146e"
console.log(sha256('Hello World'))

sha256base64

Create a secure SHA 256 digest in Base64 encoding from input string.

import { sha256base64 } from 'nyxhash'

// "pZGm1Av0IEBKARczz7exkNYsZb8LzaMrV7J32a2fFG4"
console.log(sha256base64('Hello World'))

💻 Development
