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 🙏

Readme

Purpose

This package contains a Nearley-grammar for a Relational Algebra. The grammar tries to stay as close to how you would denote an expression in RA on the blackboard as possible by utilising appropriate unicode symbols.

Compiling the Grammar

The package comes with a compiled grammar located in ra.js. Utilise the nearley-compiler to create a parser from the ra.ne grammar file yourself, if need be. From within the project root:

./node_modules/nearley/bin/nearleyc.js ra.ne > ra.js

You can then include the parser and utilise it as needed. The module features the following properties:

  • grammar: the raw grammar,
  • compiledGrammar: the grammar compiled using nearley,
  • createParser(): a function which creates a new nearley parser from the compiled grammar.

Sample Input

Just some input strings to give you a feeling for how expressions in this RA look like. The ra.ne serves as "full documentation" of expressions in this grammar.

  • A ∩ B: intersection of A and B.
  • A - B: A without B.
  • σ{x=41+1}(A): Applying the predicate x=41+1 to all tuples in A.
  • π{[a,b]}(A): Selecting only the fields a and b from the relation A.
  • ρ{[x→a,y→b]}(A): Renaming the fields x and y in A to a and b respectively.
