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 🙏

Examples
import { allAreNullOrEmpty } from '@spfxappdev/utility';

const emptyArr = []; //EMPTY
const obj = {}; //NOT null, undefined or empty
const notEmptyString = 'not empty';
const emptyString = '      '; // With whitespace

allAreNullOrEmpty(obj, notEmptyString); //false
allAreNullOrEmpty(emptyArr, emptyString); // true
allAreNullOrEmpty(obj, emptyString); // false
allAreNullOrEmpty(emptyArr, emptyString, obj, notEmptyString); // false

allAreSet

const emptyArr = []; //EMPTY
const obj = {}; //NOT null, undefined or empty
const notEmptyString = 'not empty';
const emptyString = '      '; // With whitespace
let notSet;

allAreSet(obj) // true
allAreSet(emptyArr, emptyString); // true
allAreSet(obj, notEmptyString); //true
allAreSet(obj, emptyString); // true

asyncFn

since @spfxappdev/utility@1.1.0

A wrapper function to handle a await function and their results/errors.

Examples

Instead of using this:

    console.log(result);
    //Do things with result
} 
catch (error) {
    console.error("An error occurred", error);
    throw "Whatever";
}
 

You can use the asyncFn-function like this

import { asyncFn } from '@spfxappdev/utility';

const [result, error] = await asyncFn(myAsyncFunction);
//with paramaters
const [result2, error2] = await asyncFn(myAsyncFunction, true, 2000);

//with "this" binding
const [result3, error3] = await asyncFn(this.myAsyncFunction.bind(this), true, 2000);

if(error) {
    throw "Whatever";
}

console.log(result);
//Do things with result

asyncFnAsResult

since @spfxappdev/utility@1.4.0

    console.log(result);
    //Do things with result
} 
catch (error) {
    result.error = error;
    console.error("An error occurred", error);
}

return result;
 

You can use the asyncFnAsResult-function like this

const result = await asyncFnAsResult(myAsyncFunction);
//with parameter binding
const result2 = await asyncFnAsResult(myAsyncFunction, null, param1, param2, ...);
//with "this" binding
const result3 = await asyncFnAsResult(myAsyncFunction, this, param1, param2, ...);

if(!result.success) {
    throw "Whatever";
}

console.log(result);
//Do things with result

catchFn

since @spfxappdev/utility@1.4.0

A function to wrap a specified function with a try-catch block and returns IResult<TResult>.

    result.value = myFunction();
    console.log(result);
    //Do things with result
} 
catch (error) {
    result.error = error;
    console.error("An error occurred", error);
}

return result;
 

You can use the catchFn-function like this

import { catchFn } from '@spfxappdev/utility';

const result = catchFn(myFunction);
//with parameter binding
const result2 = catchFn(myFunction, null, param1, param2, ...);
//with "this" binding

since @spfxappdev/utility@1.0.0

Determines whether the beginning of this string instance matches a specified string.

Examples
"Hello @spfxappdev/utility".StartsWith('hello'); // ==>  true (ignore case)
"Hello @spfxappdev/utility".StartsWith('hello', false); // ==>  false
"Hello @spfxappdev/utility".StartsWith('@spfxappdev'); // ==>  false

Array-Extensions

Note: The variable must not be undefined or null. Otherwise an exception is thrown (see example below).
let undefinedArr: string[];
undefinedArr.Contains("error"); //Throws an error, because the variable is not defined.

Usage

AddAt

since @spfxappdev/utility@1.1.0

Add one or more items at specified index.

Examples

const myArr: ISimpleItem[] = [

Decorators

The decorators are helpful if you want to achieve a lot with less code and also fast.

In order to better understand how decorators work, I recommend reading this article.

Simple definition: An ES2016 decorator is an expression which returns a function and can take a target, name and property descriptor as arguments. You apply it by prefixing the decorator with an @ character and placing this at the very top of what you are trying to decorate. Decorators can be defined for either a class, a method or a property.

Let's compare the same code without decorators and with decorators (by using the tryCatch decorator). The logic is not changed, but the result is the same:

Simple class WITHOUT decorators

class MyExampleClass {

    public dummyFunc(str: string): number {
        try {
            //will throw an error, if str is undefined;
           return str.indexOf("h");
        }
        catch(error) {
            //do something
        }

        return 0;
    }
}

(Same) Simple class WITH decorators

class MyExampleClass {
    
    @tryCatch<number>({
        defaultValueOnError: 0
    })
    public dummyFunc(str: string): number {
        return str.indexOf("h");
    }
}

Needless to say, decorators save a lot of time, reduce the number of lines (13 lines vs. 8 lines) and improve readability.

How to use decorators


INFO: To use the method decorators, you must set the experimentalDecorators property in your tsconfig.json to true.

Here is a list of all available method decorators:

| Decorator name | Description | |---------------------------------------|------------------------------------| | @tryCatch | Decorator to wrap a class method with a try-catch block. Works also with Promise |

In order to use the decorators, they must be imported

export { tryCatch  } from '@spfxappdev/storage';

@tryCatch

since @spfxappdev/utility@1.4.0

Decorator to wrap a class method with a try-catch block. Works also with Promise

Example
class MyExampleClass {
    
    @tryCatch<number>({
        defaultValueOnError: 0
    })
    public dummyFunc(str: string): number {
        return str.indexOf("h");
    }
}
