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 🙏

pify Build Status

Promisify a callback-style function

Install

$ npm install --save pify

Usage

const fs = require('fs');
const pify = require('pify');

// Promisify a single function
pify(fs.readFile)('package.json', 'utf8').then(data => {
	console.log(JSON.parse(data).name);
	//=> 'pify'
});

// Promisify all methods in a module
pify(fs).readFile('package.json', 'utf8').then(data => {
	console.log(JSON.parse(data).name);
	//=> 'pify'
});

API

pify(input, [options])

Returns a Promise wrapped version of the supplied function or module.

input

Type: Function Object

Callback-style function or module whose methods you want to promisify.

options

multiArgs

Type: boolean Default: false

By default, the promisified function will only return the second argument from the callback, which works fine for most APIs. This option can be useful for modules like request that return multiple arguments. Turning this on will make it return an array of all arguments from the callback, excluding the error argument, instead of just the second argument. This also applies to rejections, where it returns an array of all the callback arguments, including the error.

const request = require('request');
const pify = require('pify');

pify(request, {multiArgs: true})('https://sindresorhus.com').then(result => {
	const [httpResponse, body] = result;
});
include

Type: string[] RegExp[]

Methods in a module to promisify. Remaining methods will be left untouched.

exclude

Type: string[] RegExp[] Default: [/.+(Sync|Stream)$/]

Methods in a module not to promisify. Methods with names ending with 'Sync' are excluded by default.

excludeMain

Type: boolean Default: false

If given module is a function itself, it will be promisified. Turn this option on if you want to promisify only methods of the module.

const pify = require('pify');

function fn() {
	return true;
}

fn.method = (data, callback) => {
	setImmediate(() => {
		callback(null, data);
	});
};

// Promisify methods but not `fn()`
const promiseFn = pify(fn, {excludeMain: true});

if (promiseFn()) {
	promiseFn.method('hi').then(data => {
		console.log(data);
	});
}
errorFirst

Type: boolean Default: true

Whether the callback has an error as the first argument. You'll want to set this to false if you're dealing with an API that doesn't have an error as the first argument, like fs.exists(), some browser APIs, Chrome Extension APIs, etc.

promiseModule

Type: Function

Custom promise module to use instead of the native one.
