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 🙏

ExpressJS Yields

A dead simple ES6 generators and ES7 async/await support hack for ExpressJS

Usage

npm install @penggy/express-yields --save

Then require this script somewhere before you start using it:

const express = require('express');
const yields = require('@penggy/express-yields');
const User = require('./models/user');
const app = express();

app.get('/users', function* (req, res) {
  const users = yield User.findAll(); // <- some Promise
  res.send(users);
});

// or with node 7 async/await
app.get('/users', async (req, res) => {
  const users = await User.findAll(); // <- some Promise
  res.send(users);
});

A Notice About Calling next

As we all know express sends a function called next into the middleware, which then needs to be called with or without error to make it move the request handling to the next middleware. It still works, but in case of a generator function, you don't need to do that. If you want to pass an error, just throw a normal exception:

app.use(function * (req, res) {
  const user = yield User.findByToken(req.get('authorization'));

  if (!user) throw Error("access denied");
});

// the same with Node 7 async/await
app.use(async (req, res) => {
  const user = await User.findByToken(req.get('authorization'));

  if (!user) throw Error("access denied");
});

How Does This Work?

This is a minimalistic and unintrusive hack. Instead of patching all methods on an express Router, it wraps the Layer#handle property in one place, leaving all the rest of the express guts intact.

The idea is that you require the patch once and then use the 'express' lib the usual way in the rest of your application.
