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

trycatchAsync

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

If a function does not return an error, invoke a callback with the function result; otherwise, invoke a callback with a value y.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-async-try-catch

Usage

var trycatchAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils-async-try-catch' );

trycatchAsync( x, y, done )

If a function x does not return an error, invokes a done callback with the function result; otherwise, invokes a done callback with a value y.

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );

function x( clbk ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, 0 );
    function onTimeout() {
        if ( randu() > 0.5 ) {
            return clbk( null, 1.0 );
        }
        clbk( new Error( 'oops' ) );
    }
}

function done( error, result ) {
    if ( error ) {
        console.log( error.message );
    }
    console.log( result );
}

trycatchAsync( x, -1.0, done );

The function x is provided a single argument:

  • clbk: callback to invoke upon function completion

The callback accepts two arguments:

  • error: error object
  • result: function result

The done callback is invoked upon function completion and is provided two arguments:

  • error: error object
  • result: either the result of x or the provided value y

If the function x does not return a truthy error argument, the error argument provided to the done callback is null. If x does return a truthy error argument, the done callback is invoked with both the error and the provided value y.

Notes

  • Execution is not guaranteed to be asynchronous. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap the done callback in a function which either executes at the end of the current stack (e.g., nextTick) or during a subsequent turn of the event loop (e.g., setImmediate, setTimeout).

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var trycatchAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils-async-try-catch' );

var i;

function next() {
    trycatchAsync( x, 'beep', done );
}

function x( clbk ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, 0 );
    function onTimeout() {
        if ( randu() > 0.9 ) {
            return clbk( null, 'BOOP' );
        }
        clbk( new Error( 'oops' ) );
    }
}

function done( error, result ) {
    if ( error ) {
        console.log( error.message );
    }
    i += 1;
    console.log( result );
    if ( i < 100 ) {
        return next();
    }
}

i = 0;
next();
