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 🙏

Watch for changes in an object with a proxy

Readme

WatchWithProxy.ts

This small library, written in Typescript, uses the Proxy object from ecma6 to monitor objects for changes. It then signals a function with the details of the change.

The class itself is fairly simple. It's similar to Watch.js, but written in Typescript, uses Proxies, and doesn't rely on timers to get the addition of new properties. This class is much lighter than Watch.js.

Usage

import * as WatchWithProxy from '../src/';

let options = new WatchWithProxy.WatchOptions();
options.levels = 1;
function listener(sender:any, property: string, oldval:any, newval:any) {
    console.log("Updated callback! sender: ", sender.toString(), "property:", property, "old:", oldval, "new:", newval);
}
let watchedTest3 = WatchWithProxy.Watcher.Watch(test3, options, listener);

After that, all changes to the object watchedtest3 are going to be signaled in the listener function. This module supports arrays and their methods too.

So you can track push, pop, shift, etc...

I may have missed some methods that modify properties. Feel free to add them and send a pull request my way.

The test/index.ts shows a sample showing the various ways to use it.
