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 🙏

weigh-js

v1.0.2

Published

A lightweight TypeScript library for estimating memory usage of JavaScript objects.

Readme

WeighJS - JavaScript Object Memory Scale

npm versionTypeScriptNode.js

A lightweight TypeScript library for estimating memory usage by JavaScript objects.

This will always be an approximate value due to the peculiarities of the JavaScript code execution environment as well as the optimizations applied.

✨ Features

  • Accurate (as much as possible) memory estimation for JS/TS objects
  • Support for all standard JavaScript types
  • Support for exotic types such as Weak Map\Set, etc.
  • Support for deep objects
  • Support for circular dependency of objects
  • Extensibility with custom strategies
  • Detailed object memory analysis with keys
  • Ease of use
  • No dependencies

📦 Installation

npm install weigh-js
# or  
yarn add weigh-js  

🚀 Basic Usage

import { Profiler } from 'weigh-js';

const profiler = new Profiler();
const myObject = { /* ... */ };

// Get total memory in bytes  
const memoryUsage = profiler.sizeOf(myObject);  

// Get detailed report  
const report = profiler.computeDetailedSize(myObject);  

// Format for display  
console.log(`Memory used: ${Profiler.formatSize(memoryUsage)}`);  

📋 Supported Types

| Type | Support | |------|------------------| | Boolean | ✅ | | Number | ✅ | | BigInt | ✅ | | String | ✅ | | Array | ✅ | | Object | ✅ | | Map | ✅ | | Set | ✅ | | Buffer | ✅ | | Int8Array | ✅ | | Uint8Array | ✅ | | Uint8ClampedArray | ✅ | | Int16Array | ✅ | | Uint16Array | ✅ | | Int32Array | ✅ | | Uint32Array | ✅ | | Float32Array | ✅ | | Float64Array | ✅ | | BigInt64Array | ✅ | | BigUint64Array | ✅ | | Weak Map | ❌ | | Weak Set | ❌ | | Weak Ref | ✅ | | Array Buffer | ✅ | | DataView | ✅ | | Function | ✅ | | Symbol | ✅ | | Date | ✅ | | RegExp | ✅ | | Null | ✅ | | Undefined | ✅ |

🛠️ Advanced Usage

// Custom strategy example
class MockStrategy implements ISizeStrategy {
	public supports(value: any): boolean {
		return value && value.__mockSize !== undefined;
	}

	public sizeOf(value: any, _profiler: IProfiler): number {
		return value.__mockSize;
	}
}

const profiler = new Profiler({
		strategies: [
			new MockStrategy()
		]
	});
