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

q-method

Life is too short to wait for "ready" callbacks. Q up method calls and execute when ready.

const Q = require('q-method')

function Database (config) {
    this.connection = new DBConnection(config)
    this.connection.on('connect', () => {
        // execute all queued method calls and begin normal operation
        Q.ready(this)
    })
}

// wrap method definitions with Q to defer execution until Q.ready is called
Database.prototype.findUser = Q(function (userid) {
    return this.connection.query({userid})
})

// new Database() is "synchronous"
const DB = new Database()

// able to call methods on it immediately
DB.findUser('thelegend97').then(user => {
    console.log(user)
})

Q-methods return Promises that will eventually resolve once the resource is ready. After the resource is ready, methods execute as written. From the caller's perspective, the behavior is the same before and after Q.ready is called, always returning a Promise.

Wrapped methods must be async functions or return a Promise or Promise-like object.

API

Q(Function method)

Wraps a method to be queued or executed. Takes a method that returns a Promise and returns a method that returns a Promise.

Q.ready(Instance instance)

Marks an instance as "ready", executing all queued method calls. Changes behavior of subsequent method calls to be invoked immediately rather than queued.

Q.wait(Instance instance)

Unmarks an instance as "ready", changing behavior back to queueing until Q.ready is called again.

Q.isReady(Instance instance)

Returns true if an instance is marked as "ready" or false if it is waiting.
