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 🙏

Easy type-safe error handling without try-catch

Readme

@moeenn/recover

I dislike try-catch. The syntax is clunky and inconvenient. This library provides a somewhat similar approach to error handling as Golang. I believe error handling should be as convenient as possible so we as developers are more inclined to use it in more places in our code.

Installation

$ npm i @moeenn/recover

Usage

import { recover } from "@moeenn/recover"

/**
 * Example action
 * @returns {number}
 */
function syncAction() {
  return 42
}

/** @returns {void} */
function main() {
  const result = recover(() => syncAction())
  if (result.error) {
    /** in case of error, res.error will be of type Error (instead of unknown) */
    console.error("Error: ", result.error.message)
    return
  }

  /** type is automatically inferred as number */
  console.log(result.ok)
}

main()
import { recoverAsync } from "@moeenn/recover"

/** @returns {Promise<void>} */
async function main() {
  const url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1"
  const res = await recoverAsync(() => fetch(url))
  if (res.error) {
    console.error("Error: failed to fetch", res.error.message)
    return
  }

  const body = await recoverAsync(() => res.ok.json())
  if (body.error) {
    console.error("Error: failed to parse response as JSON", body.error.message)
    return
  }

  console.log(body.ok)
}

main().catch(console.error)
import { recover, Ok, Err } from "@moeenn/recover"

// manually handle errors of unknown type
const result = recover(() => action(), (error: unknown): Err => {
  // convert `unknown` error into Error instance
  const err = new Error("TODO")
  return { ok: null, error: err }
})
