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 🙏

@solid-primitives/event-bus

turborepo size size stage

A collection of SolidJS primitives providing various features of a pubsub/event-emitter/event-bus:

  • createEventBus - Provides a simple way to listen to and emit events.
  • createEmitter - Creates an emitter with which you can listen to and emit various events.
  • createEventHub - Provides helpers for using a group of buses.
  • createEventStack - Provides the emitted events as list/history, with tools to manage it.

Installation

npm install @solid-primitives/event-bus
# or
pnpm add @solid-primitives/event-bus
# or
yarn add @solid-primitives/event-bus

createEventBus

Provides all the base functions of an event-emitter, plus additional functions for managing listeners, it's behavior could be customized with an config object. Good for advanced usage.

How to use it

import { createEventBus } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const bus = createEventBus<string>();

// can be used without payload type, if you don't want to send any
createEventBus();

// bus can be destructured:
const { listen, emit, clear } = bus;

const unsub = bus.listen(a => console.log(a));

bus.emit("foo");

// unsub gets called automatically on cleanup
unsub();

createEmitter

Creates an emitter with which you can listen to and emit various events.

How to use it

import { createEmitter } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const emitter = createEmitter<{
  foo: number;
  bar: string;
}>();
// can be destructured
const { on, emit, clear } = emitter;

emitter.on("foo", e => {});
emitter.on("bar", e => {});

emitter.emit("foo", 0);
emitter.emit("bar", "hello");

// unsub gets called automatically on cleanup
unsub();

createGlobalEmitter

Wrapper around createEmitter.

Creates an emitter with which you can listen to and emit various events. With this emitter you can also listen to all events.

import { createGlobalEmitter } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const emitter = createGlobalEmitter<{
  foo: number;
  bar: string;
}>();
// can be destructured
const { on, emit, clear, listen } = emitter;

emitter.on("foo", e => {});
emitter.on("bar", e => {});

emitter.emit("foo", 0);
emitter.emit("bar", "hello");

// global listener - listens to all channels
emitter.listen(e => {
  switch (e.name) {
    case "foo": {
      e.details;
      break;
    }
    case "bar": {
      e.details;
      break;
    }
  }
});

createEventHub

Provides helpers for using a group of event buses.

Can be used with createEventBus, createEventStack or any emitter that has the same api.

How to use it

Creating EventHub

import { createEventHub } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

// by passing an record of Channels
const hub = createEventHub({
  busA: createEventBus(),
  busB: createEventBus<string>(),
  busC: createEventStack<{ text: string }>(),
});

// by passing a function
const hub = createEventHub(bus => ({
  busA: bus<number>(),
  busB: bus<string>(),
  busC: createEventStack<{ text: string }>(),
}));

// hub can be destructured
const { busA, busB, on, emit, listen, value } = hub;

Listening & Emitting

const hub = createEventHub({
  busA: createEventBus<void>(),
  busB: createEventBus<string>(),
  busC: createEventStack<{ text: string }>(),
});
// can be destructured
const { busA, busB, on, listen, emit } = hub;

hub.on("busA", e => {});
hub.on("busB", e => {});

hub.emit("busA", 0);
hub.emit("busB", "foo");

// global listener - listens to all channels
hub.listen(e => {
  switch (e.name) {
    case "busA": {
      e.details;
      break;
    }
    case "busB": {
      e.details;
      break;
    }
  }
});

Accessing values

If a emitter returns an accessor value, it will be available in a .value store.

hub.value.myBus;
// same as
hub.myBus.value();

createEventStack

Extends createEmitter. Provides the emitted events in a list/history form, with tools to manage it.

How to use it

import { createEventStack } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const bus = createEventStack<string, { message: string }>({
  // toValue parsing function is optional
  toValue: e => ({ message: e })
});
// can be destructured:
const { listen, emit, clear, value } = bus;

const listener: EventStackListener<{ text: string }> = ({ event, stack, remove }) => {
  console.log(event, stack);
  // you can remove the value from stack
  remove();
};
bus.listen(listener);

bus.emit({ text: "foo" });

// a signal accessor:
bus.value() // => { text: string }[]

bus.setValue(stack => stack.filter(item => {...}))

EventBus Utils

toPromise

Turns a stream-like listen function, into a promise resolving when the first event is captured.

import { toPromise } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const emitter = createEmitter<string>();
const event = await toPromise(emitter.listen);

// can be used together with raceTimeout from @solid-primitives/utils
import { raceTimeout } from "@solid-primitives/utils";
try {
  const event = await raceTimeout(toPromise(emitter.listen), 2000, true, "event was too slow");
  // if event is quicker:
  event; // => string
} catch (err) {
  // if timeouts:
  console.log(err); // => "event was too slow"
}

once

Listen to any EventBus/Emitter, but the listener will automatically unsubscribe on the first captured event. So the callback will run only once.

import { once } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const { listen, emit } = createEmitter<string>();
const unsub = once(listen, event => console.log(event));

emit("foo"); // will log "foo" and unsub

emit("bar"); // won't log

toEffect

Wraps emit calls inside a createEffect. It causes that listeners execute having an reactive owner available. It allows for usage of effects, memos and other primitives inside listeners, without having to create a synthetic root.

import { toEffect } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const { listen, emit } = createEmitter();
const emitInEffect = toEffect(emit);

// owner is needed for creating computations like createEffect
listen(() => console.log(getOwner()));

// ...sometime later (after root initiation):
emit(); // listener will log `null`
emitInEffect(); // listener will log an owner object

batchEmits

Wraps emit calls inside a batch call. It causes that listeners execute in a single batch, so they are not executed in sepatate queue ticks.

import { createEventBus, batchEmits } from "@solid-primitives/event-bus";

const bus = batchEmits(createEventBus());

const [a, setA] = createSignal(0);
const [b, setB] = createSignal(0);

bus.listen(setA);
bus.listen(setB);

bus.emit(1); // will set both a and b to 1 in a single batch
