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

p-wait-for-value Build Status

Wait for a condition to return existy then pass that value on

Can be useful for polling for a value to show up.

Install

$ npm install --save p-wait-for-value

Usage

const pWaitFor = require('p-wait-for-value');
const pathExists = require('path-exists');
const get = require('lodash.get');

pWaitForValue(() => someAPI().then(body => get(body, 'some.val')))
  .then((val) => {
	console.log('Yay! The value exists on the api payload.');
})

API

pWaitForValue(condition, [options || interval])

Returns a Promise that resolves when condition returns a value that is existy (val !== null || val !== undefined). Condition is polled if condition is not existy. Rejects if condition throws or returns a Promise that rejects. Returns the first value that is found to be existy.

condition

Type: Function

Expected to return any existy value as soon as it is available. Otherwise return null or undefined.

options

interval

Type: number Default: 20

Number of milliseconds to wait before retrying condition. You can also pass a number in place of the options object to set the interval.

timeout

Type: number Default: Infinity

Number of milliseconds to wait before automatically rejecting.
