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 🙏

promise-from

v0.4.3

Published

A simpler way to create promise on NodeJS API.

Readme

Promise From

This is very simple wrapper to adapt NodeJS style API to ES6 Promise. The module requires the Proxy feature provided by ES6.

Features

  • Very simple to use
  • Easy to chain async calls
  • Support expect-like syntax to handle events
  • Build-in Promise finally implementation
  • Depend on Node.JS only

Install

npm install promise-from

Quick Start

const fs = require('fs');
const promiseFrom = require('promise-from');

promiseFrom(fs.createWriteStream('hello'))
.expect('open')
.write('hello')
.chain(function() {
  console.info('this will be called and chained');
})
.chain(function(done) {
  console.info('this will be called and will continue to then() after done() is called');
  setTimeout(done, 1000);
})
.write('promise')
.then(function() {
  console.log('all operations are successful.');
})
.catch(function(err) {
  console.log('oops, something went wrong!');
  console.error(err);
})
.finally(function() {
  console.log('This will always be called.');
});

API

All function calls to the proxied object are recorded and executed after one of then(), catch() or finally() are called.

expect(good, bad='error')

expect good event to resolve promise and bad event to reject.

finally(onFinally)

called at the end of async operations whether to do clean up or if you don't care the result.
