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 🙏

build status

crash parties to avoid executing a function that expects the same result more than once. pretty much an utility to batch equal requests together into one, to avoid doing the same operation twice.

npm install @amphibian/party
const parties = require('@amphibian/party');

// Assume a hypothetical asynchronous pure function
// NOTE Pure functions always return the same result given identical arguments.
function fetchPartyList(url) {
    const requestId = `fetchPartyList:${url}`;
    const party = parties(requestId);

    if (party.exists()) {
        return party.crash();
    }

    return party.host(
        fetch(`${PARTY_API_URL}/parties/list`)
            .then((response) => response.json())
            .then((response) => response.partyList)
    );
}

// Instead of calling “fetch” three times, triggering three separate network requests, this will, when utilizing @amphibian/party, only trigger one
fetchPartyList();
fetchPartyList();
fetchPartyList();

parties

Returns a party Object provided the required id argument.

const party = parties('my-unique-party-id');

party.exists

Returns a Boolean describing the existence of the party. A party exists when it's currently being hosted.

party.exists(); // false

party.host

Takes Promise as an argument that should resolve or reject when the task is complete. When a party is being hosted, it may be crashed.

party.host(new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        resolve('thanks for waiting');
    }, 1000);
}));

party.crash

Crashes the current party. In effect, party.crash() just returns the hosted Promise.

party.crash().then((message) => {
    console.log(message); // > 'thanks for waiting'
});

Usage with @amphibian/cache

To hypercharge your functions, consider utilizing @amphibian/cache in companionship with @amphibian/party.

const parties = require('@amphibian/party');
const cache = require('@amphibian/cache').createCache();

function fetchPartyList(url) {
    const requestId = `fetchPartyList:${url}`;
    const cache = cache.open(requestId);

    if (cache.fresh()) {
        return Promise.resolve(cache.get());
    }

    const party = parties(requestId);

    if (party.exists()) {
        return party.crash();
    }

    return party.host(
        fetch(`${PARTY_API_URL}/parties/list`)
            .then((response) => response.json())
            .then(({partyList}) => {
                cache.set(partyList, {lifetime: 1000 * 30});
                return partyList;
            })
    );
}
