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

LABOR - Helferlein

"Helferlein" is german and means: Small Helper

This javascript package contains a number of helper functions and their typescript definitions. Not all implementations are written by us; all external, included code is annotated with it's source.

All helpers should be able to run in a node.js context, as well as in the browser and even a SSR context without any issues.

Installation

Install this package using npm:

npm install @labor-digital/helferlein

Usage

In a module environment (webpack/typescript)

The helpers are distributed as loosely coupled components, that are tree-shakable by modern building tools like webpack. So you can simply load what you need directly from your code

import {asArray} from "@labor-digital/helferlein";

const objectAsArray = asArray({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'd': 3, 'e': 'asdf'});

As scrip in a browser

You can also load the pre-build sources directly in your browser. You don't need any bundler for that, just look inside the dist.browser directory.

Load only some helpers

Each helper is available in a standalone file. That way you can load either a single helper, or two, or three. Each loaded helper, will be added to the global " Helferlein" object.


<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist.browser/Helferlein.types.isArray.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist.browser/Helferlein.types.isString.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('Is string', Helferlein.isString('true'), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
    console.log('Is array', Helferlein.isArray([]), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
</script>

Load all helpers

Alternatively you can load all available helpers at once using the "Helferlein.all.js" file.


<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist.browser/Helferlein.all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('Is string', Helferlein.isString('true'), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
    console.log('Is array', Helferlein.isArray([]), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
</script>
