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 🙏

@nlib/typing

A tool for generating and managing TypeScript type definitions efficiently.

NPM Version JSR test codecov

npm install @nlib/typing
deno add jsr:@nlib/typing
import { typeChecker } from "@nlib/typing"
// Deno
import { typeChecker } from "jsr:@nlib/typing";
// Web
import { typeChecker } from 'https://esm.sh/@nlib/[email protected]';

Usage

import * as assert from "node:assert";
import {
  typeChecker,
  ensure,
  isString,
  isPositiveSafeInteger,
  isArrayOf,
  isDictionaryOf,
  isOptionalOf,
} from "@nlib/typing";

// For example, there is a interface named User.
interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

// You can create a TypeChecker for User with typeChecker().
const isUser = typeChecker({
  id: isPositiveSafeInteger,
  name: isString,
});
// typeChecker<T>() returns TypeChecker<T> which is a type guard for T.
// https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/narrowing.html#using-type-predicates
// i.e. TypeChecker<User> is (value: unknown) => value is User
assert.equal(isUser({ id: 1, name: "a" }), true);
assert.equal(isUser({ id: "1", name: "a" }), false);

// You can handle a response with confidence using ensure().
const response = await fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1");
const member = ensure(await response.json(), isUser);
console.info(`member.id: ${member.id}`);
console.info(`member.name: ${member.name}`);

// isArrayOf returns TypeChecker<Array<T>>.
const isUserArray = isArrayOf(isUser);
assert.equal(
  isUserArray([
    { id: 1, name: "a" },
    { id: 2, name: "b" },
    { id: 3, name: "c" },
  ]),
  true,
);

// isDictionaryOf returns TypeChecker<Record<string, T>>.
const isUserDictionary = isDictionaryOf(isUser);
assert.equal(
  isUserDictionary({
    a: { id: 1, name: "a" },
    b: { id: 2, name: "b" },
    c: { id: 3, name: "c" },
  }),
  true,
);

// isOptionalOf returns TypeChecker<T | undefined>.
const isItem = typeChecker({
  id: isPositiveSafeInteger,
  name: isOptionalOf(isString),
});
assert.equal(isItem({ id: 1 }), true);
assert.equal(isItem({ id: 1, name: "a" }), true);
assert.equal(isItem({ id: 1, name: 1 }), false);

// Example: Tree structure
interface Node {
  id: string;
  children?: Array<Node>;
}
const isNode = typeChecker({
  // You can use regular expression for defining a string pattern.
  id: /^[0-9a-z]+$/,
  // You can't use isNode here because isNode is not defined yet.
  // Use getter for recursive type definition.
  get children() {
    return isOptionalOf(isArrayOf(isNode));
  },
});
assert.equal(isNode({ id: "a" }), true);
assert.equal(isNode({ id: "a", children: [] }), true);
assert.equal(isNode({ id: "a", children: [{ id: "b" }] }), true);
assert.equal(
  isNode({ id: "a", children: [{ id: "b", children: [{ id: "c" }] }] }),
  true,
);
assert.equal(
  isNode({ id: "a", children: [{ id: "b", children: [{ id: "C" }] }] }),
  // id: "C" is invalid because it is not lowercase.
  false,
);
