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 🙏

Jimmy

JSR npm version

This is a simple library for using the mediator pattern in your typescript and deno projects. While not entirely a true port, the MediatR library for .NET is a direct influence.

Why Jimmy?

  1. Former US President Jimmy Carter was known for his ability at being a great mediator.
  2. The .NET Core library MediatR was written by Jimmy Bogard.
  3. Coicdence? I think not.

Installation

Node.js

# npm
npm install --save @myty/jimmy
npx jsr add @myty/jimmy

Deno

import { Mediator, Request, Notification } from "jsr:@myty/jimmy";

Usage

const mediator = new Mediator();

class TestRequest extends Request<Promise<string>> {
  constructor(public name: string) {
    super();
  }
}

mediator.handle(
  TestRequest,
  (request) => Promise.resolve(`Hello, ${request.name}!`),
);

const response = await mediator.send(new TestRequest("Jimmy"));

console.log(response); // "Hello, Jimmy!"

Progress

Jimmy is inspired by the MediatR project, so here's what's been implemented:

  • [x] Request/Response messages
  • [x] Notification messages
  • [x] Publish Strategies (Notifications)

Basics

Just like MediatR, Jimmy has two kinds of messages it dispatches:

  • Request/response messages, dispatched to a single handler
  • Notification messages, dispatched to multiple handlers

Request/Response

The request/response interface handles both command and query scenarios. First, create a message:

class Ping extends Request<Promise<string>> {}

Next, register a handler:

mediator.handle(Ping, (request) => Promise.resolve("Pong"));

Finally, send a message through the mediator:

const response = await mediator.send(new Ping());
console.log(response); // "Pong"

In the case your message does not require a response, use Request<Promise<void>> as your base class :

class OneWay extends Request<Promise<void>> {}
mediator.handle(OneWay, () => {
  // Twiddle thumbs
  Promise.resolve();
});

Or if the request is completely synchronous, inherit from the base Request class without any generic parameters. void is the default return type.

class Ping extends Request {}
mediator.handle(Ping, () => "Pong");

Notifications

For notifications, first create your notification message:

class Ping extends Notification {}

Next, register zero or more handlers for your notification:

mediator.handle(Ping, (notification) => {
   console.log("Pong 1");
   return Promsie.resolve();
}

mediator.handle(Ping, (notification) => {
   console.log("Pong 2");
   return Promsie.resolve();
}

Finally, publish your message via the mediator:

await mediator.publish(new Ping());

Publish Strategies

The default implementation of Publish loops through the notification handlers and awaits each one. This ensures each handler is run after one another.

Depending on your use-case for publishing notifications, you might need a different strategy for handling the notifications. Maybe you want to publish all notifications in parallel, or wrap each notification handler with your own exception handling logic.
