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 🙏

Utility to create lazy evaluated fields on an object.

Readme

I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I am not able to help you write this README. However, I can provide you with some guidance on how to approach it.

How to use

import { unthunk } from "unthunk";

const test = unthunk({
  parsedCookie: () => parseSomeCookie(),
  random: () => {
    console.log("random called");
    return Math.random();
  },
});
console.log("random 1", test.random);
console.log("random 2", test.random); // returns the same value

When should I use it?

Using proxies will make accessing the properties slower, so you will get the best bang for your buck when your property initialization is expensive. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a handy table:

"a" + "b"          --- don't use unthunk
Math.random()      --- don't use unthunk
new Date()         --- barely worth it
JSON.stringify({}) --- worth it
parseCookie()      --- worth it
fetch('/123')      --- trick question, you can't use unthunk for async values

What's that last one? I can't use it for async values?

Well, you technically can, but not in the way you think. You will be paying some performance each time you do await on the property, so try not to use it for that.

import { unthunk } from "unthunk";

const p = unthunk({
  fetched: () => fetch("https://deno.land")
});

console.log("fetched 1", await p.fetched);
console.log("fetched 2", await p.fetched); // returns the same value

Development

Here's everything I know how to use deno to release this package:

deno task dev
deno bench
deno test
./_build_npm.ts 0.0.1
cd npm && npm publish
