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

time-distance

The time-distance package provides interfaces and functions for dealing with distances between dates.

import * as time from '@execonline-inc/time-distance';

Types

Future

interface Future {
  kind: 'future';
  gap: Time;
}

Now

interface Now {
  kind: 'now';
}

TimeDistance

interface Past {
  kind: 'past';
  gap: Time;
}

Past

type TimeVector = Future | Now | Past;

EffectivelyNow

interface EffectivelyNow {
  kind: 'effectively-now';
  time: Time;
}

Functions

distanceFrom

This function computes the gap between two Times. If the first Time is larger then the second, than the result is considered to be in the future. A smaller first number is considered to be in the past. And equal times are considered now.

import { distanceFrom } from '@execonline-inc/time-distance';
import { Time, seconds } from '@execonline-inc/time';

const time1: Time = seconds(10);
const time2: Time = seconds(20);
distanceFrom(time1, time2); // --> Past { ... }

distanceFromDate

This function computes the Time distance between two dates. Be aware that Date objects in Javascript can be invalid.

import { distanceFromDate } from '@execonline-inc/time-distance';

const future = distanceFromDate(new Date(1), new Date());
const badDates = distanceFromDate(new Date('foo'), new Date());

toLargestMeaningfulUnit

This function converts a TimeDistance so that the gap is expressed in terms of the largest meaningful time unit. Using this function may cause a loss of precision on the time gap.

const distance: TimeVector = distanceBetween(minutes(15), minutes(25));
toLargestMeaningfulUnit(distance);

largestMeaningfulUnit

This function takes a Time and returns a new Time that represents that largest meaningful unit of time. For example, seconds(60) would be converted to minutes(1), since that is the largest unit of time that isn't effectively zero.

Note that "meaningful" here means meaningful to human beings. Anything less than a second is treated as EffectivelyNow

const result: Ok<Time> = largestMeaningfulUnit(seconds(60));
const nowish: Err<EffectivelyNow> = largestMeaningfulUnit(milliseconds(100));
