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 🙏

Automaton generator from regular expressions

Readme

automata

npm

This npm package provides a way to create and manipulate finite automatons based on regular expressions.

Install

npm install @davnpsh/automata

Usage

The NFA (Nondeterministic Finite Automaton) object allows you to create a NFA from a regular expression string.

import { NFA } from '@davnpsh/automata';

const nfa = new NFA('a(b|c)*');

You can also create a DFA from a regular expression string.

import { uDFA, mDFA } from '@davnpsh/automata';

const udfa = new uDFA('a(b|c)*'); // Unoptimised DFA
const mdfa = new mDFA('a(b|c)*'); // Minimised DFA

In both cases, you can traverse the automaton given the initial_state attribute and going through the next attribute, which is an array of edges.

Configuration

These objects can also be configured.

import { NFA } from '@davnpsh/automata';

const nfa = new NFA('a(b|c)*', {
  // Custom empty symbol
  empty_symbol: "&"
});

Test

You can test the automaton with a string.

import { mDFA } from '@davnpsh/automata';

const mdfa = new mDFA('a(b|c)*');
mdfa.test("ab");

It returns an object with the accept attribute and the routes attribute, which is an array of arrays of transitions.

Graph

You can also get the graph of the automaton in a format compatible with Cytoscape.

import { mDFA } from '@davnpsh/automata';

const mdfa = new mDFA('a(b|c)*');
mdfa.cytograph(); // Cytoscape elements format

It is recommended to import the stylesheet and the layout into your project.

import { cytoscape_styles, cytoscape_layout } from '@davnpsh/automata';

// Use it on your cytoscape component.
// For example, in React:

// IMPORTANT: To use the provided layout, you must import cytoscape-dagre
Cytoscape.use(dagre);

const Graph = () => {
  return (
    <CytoscapeComponent
      elements={mdfa.cytograph()}
      style={{ width: "100%", height: "100%" }}
      stylesheet={cytoscape_styles}
      layout={cytoscape_layout}
    />
  );
};
