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

Proverbs 10

³ The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casts away the substance of the wicked. ⁴ He becomes poor that deals with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich. ⁵ He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame. ⁶ Blessings are on the head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Time2Blocks

Timestamp to bitcoin block

npm version Npm Total Downloads Npm Monthly Downloads


TypeScript library that identify which time is associated which blockchain block in the past. The main purpose of the library is to provide a means for nostr clients to enable them to display which block a given message was published to.

Installation

For full lib (17mb, because include a big file with all blocks and they timestamp indexed), you must load the history.json file to load it, this is how install:

npm install @belomonte/time2blocks --save

Light version, without the index file (130kb):

npm install @belomonte/time2blocks-light --save

Lib for Angular usage:

npm install @belomonte/time2blocks-ngx --save

[I can reference here if you create a wrapper lib for nextjs, vuejs or react.]

Example

View working example

Usage

Sample code

import { time2Blocks } from '@belomonte/time2blocks-light';
async function run() {
  const now = new Date().getTime();
  const block = await time2Blocks.getFromMillisecondsTimestamp(now);
  const sameBlock = await time2Blocks.getFromTimestamp(Math.floor(now / 1000));
  const sameBlockAgain = await time2Blocks.getFromMinutes(Math.floor(now / 60_000));

  const formatted = time2Blocks.format(block, 'H, bb');
  const formatted2 = time2Blocks.format(sameBlock, 'h, B');
  const formatted3 = time2Blocks.format(sameBlockAgain, '-%%% [to next halving]');

  console.info('time as block, formatted: ', formatted);
  console.info('time as block, formatted: ', formatted2);
  console.info('time as block, formatted: ', formatted3);

  return Promise.resolve();
}

run().catch(e => console.error(e))

Load indexed data

import { Time2Blocks } from '@belomonte/time2blocks-light';

//  if you include node_modules/@belomonte/time2blocks/history.json as a project asset
fetch('node_modules/@belomonte/time2blocks/history.json')
  .then(dataIndexed => Time2Blocks.getInstance().setIndex(dataIndexed))

Offline mode

In offline mode the lib will not connect to mempool and you'll need to feed the history by yourself

import { Time2Blocks } from '@belomonte/time2blocks-light';
const time2blocks = Time2Blocks.getInstance(false);

//  or you can set in the instance
time2blocks.offline();

Formats

| symbol | result | |--------|--------| | h | current halving | | H | next halving | | -h | last halving | B | all blocks | BB | All blocks in format 0,000,000 | b | blocks in this halving | bb | blocks in this halving in format 000,000 | -b | blocks to next halving | -bb | blocks to next halving in format 000,000 | % | blocks in this halving in percentage: 0.0% ~ 100.0%, | %% | blocks in this halving in percentage: 0.00% ~ 100.00%, | %%% | blocks in this halving in percentage: 0.000% ~ 100.000%, | %%%% | blocks in this halving in raw percentage: 0.x ~ 100.x%, 65.4234234234234%, 21.5% | -% | blocks to next halving in percentage: 0.0% ~ 100.0%, | -%% | blocks to next halving in percentage: 0.00% ~ 100.00%, | -%%% | blocks to next halving in percentage: 0.000% ~ 100.000%, | -%%%% | blocks to next halving in raw percentage: 0.x ~ 100.x%, 65.4234234234234%, 21.5%

-% - blocks to next halving in percentage: 0.0% ~ 100.0%, -%% - blocks to next halving in percentage: 0.00% ~ 100.00%, -%%% - blocks to next halving in percentage: 0.000% ~ 100.000%, -%%%% - blocks to next halving in raw percentage: 0.x ~ 100.x%, 65.4234234234234%, 21.5%

So, if your format string include the letter h, b or B you should escape this: blocksFormat(80000, 'h [Halvings], [block] bb') will return: 3 Halvings, block 170,000 blocksFormat(80000, 'h [[Halvings]], [[block]] bb') will return: 3 Halvings, block 170,000

Grow NOSTR

To improve the library, it would be good:

  • if a way to search for which blocks were processed around one moment (a timestamp) or more than one moment was available in the mempool api;
  • be possible to include what the block was at the time of publication in NOSTR;
