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 🙏

Saturnus

Saturnus is a cron parser for ES6, using Moment.js to parse into manageable dates.

Installation

npm install saturnus

Introduction

You must know about cron and its expressions, well... sometimes it can be a pain parsing them by yourself. Specially if you only want to validate an ISO string. That's when Saturnus comes into play.

This library is under heavy development, because (guess what?) us, "the creators", are using it for many projects so... we might as well share part of our efforts with the Node community. ;)

Quickstart

const Saturnus = require('saturnus');

//Don't worry I'm bot asynchronous and I'm non-blocking
let chronos = new Saturnus('* * * * *');
//But if you need me on the fly...
let buildingCron = new Saturnus();
buildingCron.parse()
  .every().step(5).second()         //Every five seconds
  .at(15).minute()                  //At minute 15
  .between(12, 15).hours()          //From 12 to 3 p.m.
  .every.weekday()                  //Any day of the weekday
  .between(2,9).step(2).months()    //In February, April, June and August
  .exec()                           //Finish building

When returning a date, we use Moment.js, so it can be easier to manipulate.

And knowing that, just a glimpse at the methods and you're ready to go.

Configuration

When creating a parsed expression, you can use various options to change its behaviour. The defaults are shown below:

let options = {
  throw: false,                 //Throw errors in real time (bad for callbacks)
  startDate: Date.now(),        //When to start validating
  endDate: '3000-12-31T23:59',  //When to stop recognizing dates
  locale: 'en',                 //Locale for prettify
};
let chronos = new Saturnus('* * * * *');

If you use throw:false, be aware that the attibute isValid will be set to false.

let options = {
  throw: false,
};
let chronos = new Saturnus('*');
chronos.isValid                //false
