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

collector

A persistant collector, useful when making long polling requests for data. This will continuously write data to a local JSON file, to persist, even in the event of network errors, or anything else that would cause you to loose data if it was in-memory.

const Collector = require("@ryanforever/collector")
const collector = new Collector({
	name: "test",
	savePath: "../tmp"
})

longPollingFunction.on("data", data => {
	collector.push("items", data) // push data with a key and value. collector will save it to the JSON file
	collector.push("items" ...data) // if data is an array
})

longPollingFunction.on("done", () => {
	let result = collector.get() // get 
	console.log(result)
	collector.delete() // delete the collector's json file
})

usage

Initialize the collector. This will create a JSON file at ../temp/test_collector.json

const Collector = require("@ryanforever/collector")
const collector = new Collector({
	name: "test",
	savePath: "../tmp"
})

Push data into a collector

// push an array of items in, using the spread operator.  same functionality as javascripts Array.prototype.push
let arrayOfItems = ["apple", "orange", "banana", "pear"]
collector.push("items", ...arrayOfItems)

// push a single item
collector.push("items", "strawberry")

Get data from collector

// get a single collector
let items = collector.get("items")

// get all collectors
let allCollectorData = collector.get()

methods

collector.push("key", value) // will create a new key if not exist, and push data into it
collector.add("key", value) // alias for .push()

collector.get("key") // get collector array by key
collector.get() // get all collector arrays

collector.has("key") // returns true if key exists

collector.clear("key") // clear a single collector array
collector.clear() // clear all collector arrays

collector.delete() // ⚠️ deletes the actual JSON file of the collector
