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

@kingstinct/observable

Easy-to-use and dependency-free observable library. await a specific value. Observe value changes. And if you use React there is a hook.

Examples

waitFor

Network Status
const networkStatus = observable('cellular');

// ...

await networkStatus.waitFor('wifi');
console.log('Start downloading large file..');
downloadLargeFile();

// ...

networkStatus.set('wifi');      // Start downloading large file..

observe

Observe as the value changes

const networkStatus = observable('cellular');

// ...

networkStatus.observe((status, previousStatus) => {
  console.log('NetworkStatus changed from ' + previousStatus + ' to ' + status)
});

// ...

networkStatus.set('wifi');      // NetworkStatus changed from cellular to wifi
networkStatus.set('offline');   // NetworkStatus changed from wifi to offline

Set with previous value

Easy to keep it clean and immutable.

Toggle
const isSyncEnabled = observable(false);

// ...

await isSyncEnabled.waitFor(true);
updateUI();
syncChanges();

// ...

const toggleSync = (previousValue) => !previousValue
isSyncEnabled.set(toggleSync);
Press button 10 times
const buttonPresses = observable(0);

// ...

await buttonPresses.waitFor(10);

// ...

function onClick(){
  buttonPresses.set(value => value + 1);
}

Works great with React!

No need to complicate things. We provide a hook - and it works exactly like setState does - directly tied to the backing observable.

import { useObservable } from '@kingstinct/observable/react';

const clickObservable = observable(0);

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [clickCount, setClickCount] = useObservable(clickObservable);

  const onClick = () => setClickCount((previous) => previous + 1);

  return <Button onClick={onClick}>{ clickCount }</Button>
}

Bring your own Promise library

By default native JavaScript Promises are used. But you can override it if you want:

observable.Promise = bluebird; // use Bluebird instead of native promise

const isOnlineObservable = observable(false);

await isOnlineObservable.waitFor(true).timeout(1000); // use Bluebird.timeout
