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

Lock

Provides Lock and RWLock (read write lock) synchronization primitives for protecting in-memory state across multiple tasks and/or microtasks.

Installation

npm install @rocicorp/lock

Usage

Lock is a mutex that can be used to synchronize access to a shared resource.

import {Lock} from '@rocicorp/lock';

const lock = new Lock();

async function f(n) {
  const v = await lock.withLock(async () => {
    await sleep(1000);
    return n;
  });
  console.log(n);
}

void f(1);
void f(2);
// prints 1 at t=1000
// prints 2 at t=2000

RWLock is a read write lock. There can be mutlipe readers at the same time but only one writer at the same time.

import {RWLock} from '@rocicorp/lock';

const rwLock = new RWLock();

async function read(n) {
  const v = await lock.withRead(async () => {
    await sleep(1000);
    return n;
  });
  console.log('read', n);
}

async function write(n) {
  const v = await lock.withWrite(async () => {
    await sleep(1000);
    return n;
  });
  console.log('write', n);
}

void read(1);
void write(2);
void read(3);
// prints read 1 at t=1000
// prints read 3 at t=1000
// prints write 2 at t=2000

Both Lock and RWLock expose non "with" methods (lock, read and write). These returns a promise to a release function that resolves when the lock is acquired. This is useful when you cannot wrap your code in a function like the examples above. When using these For example:

const lock = new Lock();

const release = await lock.lock();
// here we got the lock
// do something
release();
