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

d3-timer

This module provides an efficient queue capable of managing thousands of concurrent animations, while guaranteeing consistent, synchronized timing with concurrent or staged animations. Internally, it uses requestAnimationFrame for fluid animation (if available), switching to setTimeout for delays longer than 24ms.

Installing

If you use npm, npm install d3-timer. You can also download the latest release on GitHub. For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-timer from Skypack:

<script type="module">

import {timer} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/d3-timer@3";

const t = timer(callback);

</script>

For legacy environments, you can load d3-timer’s UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a d3 global is exported:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-timer@3"></script>
<script>

const timer = d3.timer(callback);

</script>

API Reference

# d3.now() <>

Returns the current time as defined by performance.now if available, and Date.now if not. The current time is updated at the start of a frame; it is thus consistent during the frame, and any timers scheduled during the same frame will be synchronized. If this method is called outside of a frame, such as in response to a user event, the current time is calculated and then fixed until the next frame, again ensuring consistent timing during event handling.

# d3.timer(callback[, delay[, time]]) <>

Schedules a new timer, invoking the specified callback repeatedly until the timer is stopped. An optional numeric delay in milliseconds may be specified to invoke the given callback after a delay; if delay is not specified, it defaults to zero. The delay is relative to the specified time in milliseconds; if time is not specified, it defaults to now.

The callback is passed the (apparent) elapsed time since the timer became active. For example:

const t = d3.timer((elapsed) => {
  console.log(elapsed);
  if (elapsed > 200) t.stop();
}, 150);

This produces roughly the following console output:

3
25
48
65
85
106
125
146
167
189
209

(The exact values may vary depending on your JavaScript runtime and what else your computer is doing.) Note that the first elapsed time is 3ms: this is the elapsed time since the timer started, not since the timer was scheduled. Here the timer started 150ms after it was scheduled due to the specified delay. The apparent elapsed time may be less than the true elapsed time if the page is backgrounded and requestAnimationFrame is paused; in the background, apparent time is frozen.

If timer is called within the callback of another timer, the new timer callback (if eligible as determined by the specified delay and time) will be invoked immediately at the end of the current frame, rather than waiting until the next frame. Within a frame, timer callbacks are guaranteed to be invoked in the order they were scheduled, regardless of their start time.

# timer.restart(callback[, delay[, time]]) <>

Restart a timer with the specified callback and optional delay and time. This is equivalent to stopping this timer and creating a new timer with the specified arguments, although this timer retains the original invocation priority.

# timer.stop() <>

Stops this timer, preventing subsequent callbacks. This method has no effect if the timer has already stopped.

# d3.timerFlush() <>

Immediately invoke any eligible timer callbacks. Note that zero-delay timers are normally first executed after one frame (~17ms). This can cause a brief flicker because the browser renders the page twice: once at the end of the first event loop, then again immediately on the first timer callback. By flushing the timer queue at the end of the first event loop, you can run any zero-delay timers immediately and avoid the flicker.

# d3.timeout(callback[, delay[, time]]) <>

Like timer, except the timer automatically stops on its first callback. A suitable replacement for setTimeout that is guaranteed to not run in the background. The callback is passed the elapsed time.

# d3.interval(callback[, delay[, time]]) <>

Like timer, except the callback is invoked only every delay milliseconds; if delay is not specified, this is equivalent to timer. A suitable replacement for setInterval that is guaranteed to not run in the background. The callback is passed the elapsed time.
