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 🙏

rereselect

Not to be confused with Re-reselect which is an enhancement to Reselect. This is an entirely separate project.

A library that generates memoized selectors like Reselect but:

  • Supports dynamic dependency tracking à la Vue/VueX/MobX. See my StackOverflow answer for the motivation why we need this.
  • No need to declare upfront which selectors will be used.
  • Introspection (hooks) API baked in to help debug performance problems.

Design constraints:

  • Generated selector must be compatible with Reselect.

Notes:

  • Requires an ES6 environment (or babel-polyfill).
  • TypeScript typings require TypeScript 3.0.
  • The state must be immutable.
  • The selector logic must be pure and deterministic.
  • rereselect’s selectors take 1 argument only — the state. If you need parameterized selectors, see the section parameterized selectors.
  • No support. This library is created to solve the problems we face. We open-source it in hope that it will be useful to others as well, but we have no plans in supporting it beyond our use cases. Therefore, feature requests are not accepted here.

Differences from Reselect?

The Reselect “shopping cart” example:

import { makeSelector } from '@taskworld.com/rereselect'

// “Simple” selectors are the same.
const shopItemsSelector = state => state.shop.items
const taxPercentSelector = state => state.shop.taxPercent

// Instead of `createSelector`, it is called `makeSelector`.
//
// Instead of declaring dependencies upfront, use the `query` function
// to invoke other selectors. In doing so, the dependency will
// automatically be tracked.
//
const subtotalSelector = makeSelector(query =>
  query(shopItemsSelector).reduce((acc, item) => acc + item.value, 0)
)
const taxSelector = makeSelector(
  query => query(subtotalSelector) * (query(taxPercentSelector) / 100)
)
const totalSelector = makeSelector(query => ({
  total: query(subtotalSelector) + query(taxSelector)
}))

Dynamic dependency tracking:

let state = {
  fruits: {
    a: { name: 'Apple' },
    b: { name: 'Banana' },
    c: { name: 'Cantaloupe' }
  },
  selectedFruitIds: ['a', 'c']
}

// I want to query the selected fruits...
const selectSelectedFruits = makeSelector(query =>
  query(state => state.selectedFruitIds).map(id =>
    query(state => state.fruits[id])
  )
)

// Use like any other selectors:
console.log(selectSelectedFruits(state)) // [ { name: 'Apple' }, { name: 'Cantaloupe' } ]

// Since data selection is fine-grained, changes to unrelated parts
// of the state will not cause a recomputation.
state = {
  ...state,
  fruits: {
    ...state.fruits,
    b: { name: 'Blueberry' }
  }
}
console.log(selectSelectedFruits(state)) // [ { name: 'Apple' }, { name: 'Cantaloupe' } ]
console.log(selectSelectedFruits.recomputations()) // 1

Parameterized selectors

This library is only concerned with creating a selector system that supports dynamic dependency tracking. So, it is up to you to implement parameterized selectors support.

This is how we do it (we also added displayName property to our selectors to make them easier to debug):

export function makeParameterizedSelector(
  displayName,
  selectionLogicGenerator
) {
  const memoized = new Map()
  return Object.assign(
    function selectorFactory(...args) {
      const key = args.join(',')
      if (memoized.has(key)) return memoized.get(key)!
      const name = `${displayName}(${key})`
      const selectionLogic = selectionLogicGenerator(...args)
      const selector = makeSelector(selectionLogic)
      selector.displayName = name
      memoized.set(key, selector)
      return selector
    },
    { displayName }
  )
}
