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 Job Queue

A simple concurrency limited job queue utilizing ES6 promises.

Many promise queues available lack a true job queue nature. They will typically run batches of N jobs a time. The downside of that approach is that one must wait for the entire N jobs to complete before a new job can be enqueued and start running.

This implementation has the benefit of being a true job queue design. As each job in the queue completes, a new one will immediately be enqueued and start running. This design also ensures that the full capacity of the queue will be running during a job burst.

Features

  • Limits the maximum number of concurrently running jobs
  • A true job queue: when one job finishes, a new one will immediately begin running.
  • Simple and extensible
  • Test coverage

Usage

  • Import the PromiseJobQueue class
  • Construct a new queue with a given job function and max concurrency
  • Push jobs onto the queue
  • Collect finished job data
const PromiseJobQueue = require('promise-job-queue');

// Track finished jobs
const finished = [];

// Your Job function with data input
function job(data) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve(data);
      finished.push(data);
     }, Math.random() * 500);
    });
}

// Construct your job queue, limit concurrent running jobs to a max of 2
const queue = new PromiseJobQueue(job, 2);

// Submit a job burst
const data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20];
Promise.all(
  data.map(item => queue.push(item))
).then(() => {
  console.log('finished jobs', finished);
});
