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

Node Autocomplete

Modernized Trie-search based on Node Autocomplete is an autocomplete library for node.js.

TODO: Cleanup test suite, use chai. Add all them missing semi-colons...

Installation

npm install triesearch

Features

  • in memory, in process, not redis dependent
  • internal trie data structure to store the strings
  • super fast for adding, removing and lookups
  • performance tested for string lists of 500,000 words
  • high level of tests

Usage

var data = ['fruit', 'app', 'apple', 'banana']
// instatiate a new autocomplete object
var Autocomplete = require('autocomplete')
var auto = new Autocomplete()
auto.initialize(data)
// results will be an array with 0 or more elements
var results = auto.search('ap')

// here results will be an array of key-value pairs
console.dir(results)

Output

The output of the search is an array of objects with key and value properties. In the example above, results looks like

[
  {
    key: 'app',
    value: 'app'
  },
  {
    key: 'apple',
    value: 'apple',
  }
]

If you are just searching for strings you can get an array of matching strings by mapping the results and returning just the key

var data = ['fruit', 'app', 'apple', 'banana']
// instatiate a new autocomplete object
var Autocomplete = require('autocomplete')
var auto = new Autocomplete()
auto.initialize(data)
// results will be an array with 0 or more elements
var results = auto.search('ap')

// here results will be an array of key-value pairs
console.dir(results)
var stringMatches = results.map(function (result) {
  return result.key
})
// stringMatches is ['app', 'apple']
console.dir(stringMatches)

Adding

You can add to the list of candidate elements after the autocomplete object has been initialized

var Autocomplete = require('autocomplete')
var auto = new Autocomplete()
var data = []
auto.initialize(data)
auto.addElement('cheeseburger')

Removing

You can remove from the list of candidate elements after the autocomplete object has been initialized

var Autocomplete = require('autocomplete')
var auto = new Autocomplete()
var data = ['app', 'apple', 'apples']
auto.initialize(data)
auto.removeElement('apple')

Object Elements

You can also add key value pairs as an array of 2 elements

var Autocomplete = require('autocomplete')
var auto = new Autocomplete()
var data = ['app', 'apple', ['apples', 'yummy'], 'banana' ]
auto.initialize(data)
var results = app.search('ap')
// in the results, there will be an element with the key *apples* and the value *yummy*
console.dir(results)

In the example above, results looks like

[
  { key: 'app', value: 'app' },
  { key: 'apple', value: 'apple' },
  { key: 'apples', value: 'yummy' }
]
