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 🙏

A collection of helpful utilities for Typescript projects.

Utilities

Buffer Helper

Converts various types of arrays, strings and numbers to a buffer.

    const stringBuffer = await BufferHelper.toBuffer('Hello World');

Clone Helpers

An extremely fast function for deep-cloning an object which only contains simple values, i.e. primitives, arrays and nested simple objects.

const foo = {
 prop1: 'hello',
 prop2: 'world',
}

const bar = CloneHelper.simpleDeepClone(foo);

console.assert(foo === bar);

Common Helpers

A collection of general use guards such as.

  • isObject
  • isClassInstance
  • notNullOrUndefined
  • assertNever

Generic Helper

Provides a .NetCore style Activator to instantiate generic types at runtime.

Iterator Helpers

Methods to repeat functions multiple times.

Map Helper

FastFlatMap provides same result as FlatMap in the es2019 standard but 40% quicker.


const obj = {
 boringProp: 123,
 goodProp: 'abc',
 nestedProp: {
   boringProp: 456,
   goodProb: 'def'
 }
}

MapHelper.FastFlatMap(obj, 'goodProp');

this will result in


const result = [
 {
   goodProp: 'abc',
 },
 {
   goodProp: 'def',
 }
]

Number helper

Assortment of number formatting functions.

Object helper

Assortment of object functions for merging, flattening, serialising, sorting.

Observable helper

Helper to convert observables to promises.

String helper

Assortment of object functions for merging, flattening, serialising, sorting.

Typed Array helper

Assortment of helpers to detect types of TypedArrays as well as converting them to buffers
