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 🙏

// add global types in globalThis Some,None,Option, Result,Ok,Err functions
import "@rslike/std/globals";

// rest your file

API

Match

Matches the Option or Result and calls callback functions.

1 callback function will be executed for Ok or Some result.

2 callback function will be executed for Err or None result.

If incoming arguments is not Option or Result or callback functions is not a functions then it throws an UndefinedBehavior error.

If your result have type Result<Option<T>, E>. You need to call match function only once


const resFromBackend = Bind(async (...args) => return (await fetch(...args)).json())

const json = match(await resFromBackend('https://json-placeholder.typicode.com/posts/1'), (res) => {
    console.log('JSON is:', unwrapped)
}, (e) => {
  if(e){
    console.log('Error:', e)
  }
  else {
    console.log('JSON is None(null or undefined)')
  }
})

console.log(json); // YOUR JSON from Backend

Bind

Function decorator. Combines Result and Option modules. Make the function safe to execute.

Wraps function and return new function with binded context.

Result of this function will be mapped into Result<Option<T>,E>.

Function result will be mapped into Ok(Some(result)).

undefined function result will mapped into Ok(None()).

const fn = (a: number) => a + 2;
const newFn = Bind(fn);

const res = newFn(1);
res.unwrap().unwrap(); // 3
newFn(10).unwrap().unwrap(); // 12

const thrower = () => {
  throw new Error("shit happens :)");
};
const func = Bind(thrower);
func().isErr(); // true
const err = func().unwrapErr();
console.log(err); // {message: 'shit happens :)'}
err instanceof Error; // true

// async example
const asyncFn = () => Promise.resolve(123);
const fn = Bind(asyncFn);

const r = await fn();

r.isOk(); // true
r.unwrap(); // 123

Option

Type Option represents an optional value: every Option is either Some and contains a value, or None, and does not. Option have a number of uses:

  • Initial values
  • Return values for functions that are not defined over their entire input range (partial functions)
  • Return value for otherwise reporting simple errors, where None is returned on error
  • Optional struct fields
  • Optional function arguments
  • Nullish(null or undefined) value.
  • Swapping things out of difficult situations
  • Options are commonly paired with pattern matching to query the presence of a value and take action, always accounting for the None case.

Functions

Some(T)

represents Some value

None

Represents nullish(null or undefiend) value

Symbol.inspect

util.inspect is a server feature

The util.inspect() method returns a string representation of object that is intended for debugging.

See more about Symbol.inspect

Example:

import util from "node:util";

const a = Some(4);
util.inspect(a); // Some(4)

Methods

expect

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value.

const x = Some("value");
x.expect("fruits are healthy") === "value"; // true

const y: Option<string> = None();
y.expect("fruits are healthy"); // throws with `fruits are healthy`
unwrap

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may throws, its use is generally discouraged. Instead, prefer to use pattern matching and handle the None case explicitly, or call unwrapOr, unwrapOrElse, or unwrapOrDefault.

Throws an error when value is None

const x = Some("air");
x.unwrap() === "air";

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.unwrap(); // fails
unwrapOr

Returns the contained Some value or a provided default.

const x = Some("air");
x.unwrapOr("another") === "air";

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.unwrapOr("another") === "another";
unwrapOrElse

Returns the contained Some value or computes it from a closure.

const k = 10;
Some(4).unwrapOrElse(() => 2 * k) === 4;
None().unwrapOrElse(() => 2 * k) === 20;
map

Maps an Option<T> to Option<U> by applying a function to a contained value (if Some) or returns None (if None).

const maybeSomeString = Some("Hello, World!");
const maybeSomeLen = maybeSomeString.map(s => s.length);
maybeSomeLen === Some(13));

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.map(s => s.length) === None();
mapOr

Returns the provided default result (if none), or applies a function to the contained value (if any).

Arguments passed to mapOr are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use mapOrElse, which is lazily evaluated.

const x = Some("foo");
x.mapOr(42, (v) => v.length) === 3;

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.mapOr(42, (v) => v.len()) === 42;
mapOrElse

Computes a default function result (if none), or applies a different function to the contained value (if any).

const k = 21;

const x = Some("foo");
x.mapOrElse(
  () => 2 * k,
  (v) => v.length,
) === 3;

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.mapOrElse(
  () => 2 * k,
  (v) => v.length,
) === 42;
okOr

Transforms the Option<T> into a Result<T, E>, mapping Some(v) to Ok(v) and None to Err(err).

Arguments passed to okOr are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use okOrElse, which is lazily evaluated.

const x = Some("foo");
String(x.okOr(0)) === String(Ok("foo"));

const y: Option<string> = None();
y.okOr(0) === Err(0);
okOrElse

Transforms the Option<T> into a Result<T, E>, mapping Some(v) to Ok(v) and None to Err(err()).

const x = Some("foo");
console.assert(x.okOrElse(() => 0) === Ok("foo"));

let y: Option<string> = None();
console.assert(y.okOrElse(() => 0) === Err(0));
and

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise returns optb.

Arguments passed to and are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use andThen, which is lazily evaluated.

const x = Some(2);
const y: Option<string> = None();
console.assert(x.and(y) === None());
// another example
let x: Option<number> = None();
let y = Some("foo");
console.assert(x.and(y) === None());
// another example
let x = Some(2);
let y = Some("foo");
console.assert(x.and(y) === Some("foo"));
// another example
let x: Option<number> = None();
let y: Option<string> = None();
console.assert(x.and(y) === None());
andThen

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise calls f with the wrapped value and returns the result.

Some languages call this operation flatmap.

function toString(x: number): Option<string> {
 return Some(String(x));
}
console.assert(Some(2).andThen(toString) === Some(2.toString()));
console.assert(None().andThen(toString) === None());
filter

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise calls predicate with the wrapped value and returns:

Some(t) if predicate returns true (where t is the wrapped value), an None if predicate returns false

function isEven(n: number): boolean {
  return n % 2 == 0;
}
console.assert(None().filter(isEven) === None());
console.assert(Some(3).filter(isEven) === None());
console.assert(Some(4).filter(isEven) === Some(4));
xor

Returns Some if exactly one of self, optb is Some, otherwise returns None.

insert

Inserts value into the option, then returns a mutable reference to it.

If the option already contains a value, the old value is dropped.

See also getOrInsert, which doesn’t update the value if the option already contains Some.

const opt = None();
const val = opt.insert(1);
console.assert(val === 1);
console.assert(opt.unwrap() === 1);
// another example
const val = opt.insert(2);
console.assert(val === 2);
replace

Replaces the actual value in the option by the value given in parameter, returning the old value if present, leaving a Some in its place without deinitializing either one.

const x = Some(2);
const old = x.replace(5);
console.assert(x === Some(5));
console.assert(old === Some(2));
// another example
const x = None();
const old = x.replace(3);
console.assert(x === Some(3));
console.assert(old === None());
zip

Zips self with another Option.

If self is Some(s) and other is Some(o), this method returns Some((s, o)). Otherwise, None is returned.

const x = Some(1);
const y = Some("hi");
const z = None<number>();

x.zip(y) === Some((1, "hi"));
x.zip(z) === None();
zipWith

Zips self and another Option with function f.

If self is Some(s) and other is Some(o), this method returns Some(f(s, o)). Otherwise, None is returned.

class Point {
  constructor(
    readonly x: number,
    readonly y: number,
  ) {}
  static create(x: number, y: number) {
    return new Point(x, y);
  }
}
const x = Some(17.5);
const y = Some(42.7);

x.zipWith(y, Point.create) === Some({ x: 17.5, y: 42.7 });
unzip

Unzips an option containing a tuple of two options.

If self is Some((a, b)) this method returns (Some(a), Some(b)). Otherwise, (None, None) is returned.

const x = Some([1, "hi"]);
const y = None<[number, number]>();
console.assert(x.unzip() === [Some(1), Some("hi")]);
console.assert(y.unzip() === [None(), None()]);
flatten

Converts from Option<Option<T>> to Option<T>.

const x: Option<Option<number>> = Some(Some(6));
Some(6) === x.flatten();

const x: Option<Option<number>> = Some(None());
None() === x.flatten();

const x: Option<Option<number>> = None();
None() === x.flatten();
isSome

Returns true if the option is a Some value.

const x: Option<number> = Some(2);
x.isSome() === true; // true

const x: Option<number> = None();
x.isSome() === false; // true
isNone

Returns true if the option is a None value.

isSomeAnd

Returns true if the option is a Some and the value inside of it matches a predicate.

const x: Option<number> = Some(2);
x.isSomeAnd((x) => x > 1) === true; // true

const x: Option<number> = Some(0);
x.isSomeAnd((x) => x > 1) === false; // true

const x: Option<number> = None();
x.isSomeAnd((x) => x > 1) === false; // true
getOrInsert

Inserts value into the option if it is None, then returns a mutable reference to the contained value.

See also insert, which updates the value even if the option already contains Some.

const x = None<number>();
const y = x.getOrInsert(7);

y === 7; // true
getOrInsertWith

Inserts a value computed from f into the option if it is None, then returns the contained value.

const x = None<number>();
const y = x.getOrInsertWith(() => 5);

y === 5; // true
or

Returns the Option if it contains a value, otherwise returns optb. Arguments passed to or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use orElse, which is lazily evaluated.

const x = Some(2);
const y = None();
console.assert(x.or(y) === Some(2));
// another example
const x = None();
const y = Some(100);
console.assert(x.or(y) === Some(100));
// another example
let x = Some(2);
let y = Some(100);
console.assert(x.or(y) === Some(2));
// another example
const x: Option<number> = None();
const y = None();
console.assert(x.or(y) === None());
orElse

Returns the Option if it contains a value, otherwise calls f and returns the result.

function nobody(): Option<string> {
  return None();
}
function vikings(): Option<string> {
  return Some("vikings");
}

Some("barbarians").orElse(vikings) === Some("barbarians"); // true
None().orElse(vikings) === Some("vikings"); // true
None().orElse(nobody) === None(); // true
Boolean Operators

These methods treat the Option as a boolean value, where Some acts like true and None acts like false. There are two categories of these methods: ones that take an Option as input, and ones that take a function as input (to be lazily evaluated).

The and, or, and xor methods take another Option as input, and produce an Option as output. Only the and method can produce an Option<U> value having a different inner type U than Option<T>.

| method | self | input | output | | ------ | ------- | --------- | ------- | | and | None | (ignored) | None | | and | Some(x) | None | None | | and | Some(x) | Some(y) | Some(y) | | or | None | None | None | | or | None | Some(y) | Some(y) | | or | Some(x) | (ignored) | Some(x) | | xor | None | None | None | | xor | None | Some(y) | Some(y) | | xor | Some | None | Some(x) | | xor | Some(x) | Some(y) | None |

The andThen and orElse methods take a function as input, and only evaluate the function when they need to produce a new value. Only the andThen method can produce an Option<U> value having a different inner type U than Option<T>.

| method | self | function input | function result | output | | --------- | ------- | -------------- | --------------- | ------- | | andThen | None | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | None | | andThen | Some(x) | x | None | None | | andThen | Some(x) | x | Some(y) | Some(y) | | orElse | None | (not provided) | None | None | | orElse | None | (not provided) | Some(y) | Some(y) | | orElse | Some(x) | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | Some(x) |

This is an example of using methods like andThen and or in a pipeline of method calls. Early stages of the pipeline pass failure values (None) through unchanged, and continue processing on success values (Some). Toward the end, or substitutes an error message if it receives None.

Result

Result<T, E> is the type used for returning and propagating errors. It is an enum with the variants, Ok(T), representing success and containing a value, and Err(E), representing error and containing an error value.

Functions

Ok(T)

Represents success with T value.

Err(E)

Represents fail with some error inside.

Symbols

Note: This method will only yeild if the Option is Some

Note: throws UndefinedBehaviorError for Ok(value) if value is not implements Symbol.iterator

Err value is not iterable.

Ok(2).orElse(sq).orElse(sq) === Ok(2); // true
Ok(2).orElse(err).orElse(sq) === Ok(2); // true
Err(3).orElse(sq).orElse(err) === Ok(9); // true
Err(3).orElse(err).orElse(err) === Err(3); // true
flatten

Converts from Result<Result<T, E>, E> to Result<T, E>

const x: Result<Result<string, number>, number> = Ok(Ok("hello"));
Ok("hello") === x.flatten(); // true

const x: Result<Result<string, number>, number> = Ok(Err(6));
Err(6) === x.flatten(); // true

const x: Result<Result<string, number>, number> = Err(6);
Err(6) === x.flatten(); // true
Boolean Operators

These methods treat the Result as a boolean value, where Ok acts like true and Err acts like false. There are two categories of these methods: ones that take a Result as input, and ones that take a function as input (to be lazily evaluated).

The and and or methods take another Result as input, and produce a Result as output. The and method can produce a Result<U, E> value having a different inner type U than Result<T, E>. The or method can produce a Result<T, F> value having a different error type F than Result<T, E>.

| method | self | input | output | | ------ | ------ | --------- | ------ | | and | Err(e) | (ignored) | Err(e) | | and | Ok(x) | Err(d) | Err(d) | | and | Ok(x) | Ok(y) | Ok(y) | | or | Err(e) | Err(d) | Err(d) | | or | Err(e) | Ok(y) | Ok(y) | | or | Ok(x) | (ignored) | Ok(x) |

The andThen and orElse methods take a function as input, and only evaluate the function when they need to produce a new value. The andThen method can produce a Result<U, E> value having a different inner type U than Result<T, E>. The orElse method can produce a Result<T, F> value having a different error type F than Result<T, E>.

| method | self | function input | function result | output | | --------- | ------ | -------------- | --------------- | ------ | | andThen | Err(e) | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | Err(e) | | andThen | Ok(x) | x | Err(d) | Err(d) | | andThen | Ok(x) | x | Ok(y) | Ok(y) | | orElse | Err(e) | e | Err(d) | Err(d) | | orElse | Err(e) | e | Ok(y) | Ok(y) | | orElse | Ok(x) | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | Ok(x) |
