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

Aggregating Event Emitter

This is an event emitter that works similar to standard event emitters, but is purpose built to use events for getting data as well as simply notifying parts of the system of events. This is helpful for invertion-of-control approaches where you don't necessarily know what will be able to provide your code with the data you need, only that it will exist at runtime.

In addition to this it has useful features like wildcard matching and list item matching.

Installation

npm i @alcumus/aggregating-event-emitter

Usage examples

Getting data returned by event handlers:

// Handler.js
const dataEvents = require('aggregating-event-emitter').aggregatingEventEmitter({ name: 'data', wildcards: true });
const data = {
    namespace: [1, 4, 9, 12]
};
dataEvents.on('*.data.get', (event, query) => {
    if (query.$gt) {
        const name = event.eventName.split('.')[0];
        return (data[name] || []).filter(value => value > query.$gt);
    }
});

// Emitter.js
// We can reference the previously instantiated event emitter by name and don't need to provide other options to it.
const dataEvents = require('aggregating-event-emitter').aggregatingEventEmitter({ name: 'data' });
const data = dataEvents.emit('namespace.data.get', { $gt: 5 });
console.log(data); // [[9, 12]]

Waterfall:

const events = require('aggregating-event-emitter').aggregatingEventEmitter();

// These event handlers will be fired in this order and the output of the first will be passed to the input of the second.
events.on('my-event', (event, array) => array.map(value => value + 10));
events.on('my-event', (event, array) => array.map(value => value * 2));

const data = events.emitWaterfall('my-event', [0, 5, 10]);
console.log(data); // [20, 30, 40]

Be aware that it's fully possible for one handler to break the data structure for another handler if you are not careful when using the waterfall functions. In order to mitigate this, it may be worth using hooks to ensure the order is appropriate.
