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 🙏

Catch Decorator

npm npm bundle size NPM

ECMAScript/TypeScript Catch decorator for classes and functions. Based on @enkot/catch-decorator.

Install

npm install @magna_shogun/catch-decorator

yarn add @magna_shogun/catch-decorator

Usage

catch-decorator works with any ECMAScript/TypeScript class. If you use Babel, babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy is needed. If you use TypeScript, enable --experimentalDecorators flag.

Catch

Decorate a function to catch the specific type of error.

class Messenger {
  @Catch(ReferenceError, (err, ctx) => {...})
  getMessages() {
    throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
    ...
  }
}

You can stack decorators to catch and handle different types of error.

class Messenger {
  @Catch(TypeError, (err, ctx) => {...})
  @Catch(ReferenceError, (err, ctx) => {...})
  getMessages() {
    if (conditionA) {
      throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
      ...
    }
    if (conditionB) {
      throw new TypeError('TypeError here!');
      ...
    }   
  }
}

It also works for async functions.

class Messenger {
  @Catch(ServerError, (err, ctx) => {...})
  async getMessages() {
    return fetch(myRequest).then(response => { // can throw ServerError
      ...
    });
  }
}

CatchAll

You can catch any type of errors using the CatchAll decorator.

class Messenger {
  @CatchAll((err, ctx) => {...})
  getMessages() {
    // Both ReferenceError and TypeError will be catched
    if (conditionA) {
      throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
      ...
    }
    if (conditionB) {
      throw new TypeError('TypeError here!');
      ...
    }   
  }
}

Class Decoration

If you want to apply the same decorator to all the functions of a class (excluding its constructor), you can add the decorator to the class.

class Messenger {
  @Catch(ReferenceError, (err, ctx) => {...})
  getMessages() {
    throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
    ...
  }
  
  @Catch(ReferenceError, (err, ctx) => {...})
  getPosts() {
    throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
    ...
  }
}

This can be re-written as follows.

@Catch(ReferenceError, (err, ctx) => {...})
class Messenger {
  getMessages() {
    throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
    ...
  }
  
  getPosts() {
    throw new ReferenceError('ReferenceError here!');
    ...
  }
}

HandlerFunction

The callback for the Catch and CatchAll decorators is of type HandlerFunction.

type HandlerFunction = (error: Error, ctx: any) => void;

error is the caught error or exception.
ctx is the context (this) of the function were the error was thrown.
