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

THIS IS A FORK OF THE ORIGINAL MODULE.

The intent is to provide prebuilt module for installation on Mozilla tbpl to run Gaia integration tests.

Use at your own risks.

ref-struct

Create ABI-compliant "struct" instances on top of Buffers

Build Status

This module offers a "struct" implementation on top of Node.js Buffers using the ref "type" interface.

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install ref-struct

Examples

Say you wanted to emulate the timeval struct from the stdlib:

struct timeval {
  time_t       tv_sec;   /* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */
  suseconds_t  tv_usec;  /* and microseconds */
};
var ref = require('ref-prebuilt')
var StructType = require('ref-struct-prebuilt')

// define the time types
var time_t = ref.types.long
var suseconds_t = ref.types.long

// define the "timeval" struct type
var timeval = StructType({
  tv_sec: time_t,
  tv_usec: suseconds_t
})

// now we can create instances of it
var tv = new timeval

With node-ffi

This gets very powerful when combined with node-ffi to invoke C functions:

var ffi = require('ffi')

var tv = new timeval
gettimeofday(tv.ref(), null)

Progressive API

You can build up a Struct "type" incrementally (useful when interacting with a parser) using the defineProperty() function. But as soon as you create an instance of the struct type, then the struct type is finalized, and no more properties may be added to it.

var ref = require('ref-prebuilt')
var StructType = require('ref-struct-prebuilt')

var MyStruct = Struct()
MyStruct.defineProperty('width', ref.types.int)
MyStruct.defineProperty('height', ref.types.int)

var i = new MyStruct({ width: 5, height: 10 })

MyStruct.defineProperty('weight', ref.types.int)
// AssertionError: an instance of this Struct type has already been created, cannot add new "fields" anymore
//      at Function.defineProperty (/Users/nrajlich/ref-struct/lib/struct.js:180:3)
