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

jcsp

A library for Communicating Sequential Processes, built on top of async/await and the asynchronous iterable interface.

npm version

Installation

This library requires async/await and for-await-of support.

$ npm install --save @jfet97/csp

Docs

You can find the documentation here.

Example Usage

Below is a trivial example of usage, that plays on the standard ping-pong example.

const { Channel } = require('@jfet97/csp');

const timeout = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

const wiff = new Channel();
const waff = new Channel();

const createBall = () => ({ hits: 0, status: '' });

const createBat = async (inbound, outbound) => {
  while (true) {
    const ball = await inbound.take(); // wait for an incoming ball
    ball.hits++;
    ball.status = ball.status === 'wiff!' ? 'waff!' : 'wiff!';
    console.log(`🎾  Ball hit ${ball.hits} time(s), ${ball.status}`);
    await timeout(500); // assume it's going to take a bit to hit the ball
    await outbound.put(ball); // smash the ball back
  }
};

createBat(waff, wiff); // create a bat that will wiff waffs
createBat(wiff, waff); // create a bat that will waff wiffs

waff.put(createBall());

ping pong

Async Iteration Protocol

Channels implement the async iterable interface, so you can transform the following illustrative code:

async function process (inbound, outbound) {
  while (true) {
    const msg = await inbound.take();
    // do stuff with msg
    await outbound.put(res);
  }
};

into a cleaner version, thanks to the powerful for-await-of:

async function process (inbound, outbound) {
  for await(const msg of inbound) {
    // do stuff with msg
    await outbound.put(res);
  }
};

Credits

Thanks to Joe Harlow for his work on this topic. If you are unfamiliar with CSP, I encourage you to see his talk where he describe a simpler version of this library as well.
