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 🙏

NPM Package Build Status Dependency status

abstract-encoding

create varstruct codec that can match multiple data types.

Each item encoded is prefixed with a type value, I suggest using a byte or a varint.

Example

var varmatch = require('varstruct-match')
var varstruct = require('varstruct')
var VarUIntProtobuf = require('varint')

//create some simple codecs
var foobar = varstruct([
  { name: 'foo', type: VarUIntProtobuf },
  { name: 'bar', type: VarUIntProtobuf }
])

//test functions - return true if the argument can be encoded with this codec.
function isFooBar (t) { return t && t.foo && t.bar }

function isInteger (n) { return typeof n === 'number' && n % 1 === 0 }

var codec = varmatch(VarUIntProtobuf, [
  { match: 1, type: foobar, test: isFooBar },
  { match: 2, type: varstruct.VarArray(VarUIntProtobuf, foobar), test: Array.isArray },
  { match: 3, type: VarUIntProtobuf, test: isInteger }
])


//encode with the first rule
codec.encode({ foo: 1, bar: 2 })
//=> <Buffer 01 01 02>

//encode with the second rule
codec.encode([{ foo: 1, bar: 2 }, { foo: 3, bar: 4 }, { foo: 5, bar: 6 }])
//=> <Buffer 02 03 01 02 03 04 05 06>

//encode with the third rule
codec.encode(7)
//=> <Buffer 03 07>

once the codec is defined, you can just pass any valid object.

API

varmatch(tagCodec, [typeCodec1, typeCodec2, ..., typeCodecN])

create an instance, specifying the codec for the matching field.
