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 🙏

Octokit plugin for GitHub’s recommended request throttling

@latest Build Status

Implements all recommended best practices to prevent hitting secondary rate limits.

Usage

Load @octokit/plugin-throttling and @octokit/core (or core-compatible module) directly from esm.sh

<script type="module">
  import { Octokit } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/core";
  import { throttling } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/plugin-throttling";
</script>

Install with npm install @octokit/core @octokit/plugin-throttling. Optionally replace @octokit/core with a core-compatible module.

Note: If you use it with @octokit/rest v16, install @octokit/core as a devDependency. This is only temporary and will no longer be necessary with @octokit/rest v17.

const { Octokit } = require("@octokit/core");
const { throttling } = require("@octokit/plugin-throttling");

The code below creates a "Hello, world!" issue on every repository in a given organization. Without the throttling plugin it would send many requests in parallel and would hit rate limits very quickly. But the @octokit/plugin-throttling slows down your requests according to the official guidelines, so you don't get blocked before your quota is exhausted.

The throttle.onSecondaryRateLimit and throttle.onRateLimit options are required. Return true to automatically retry the request after retryAfter seconds.

const MyOctokit = Octokit.plugin(throttling);

const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  auth: `secret123`,
  throttle: {
    onRateLimit: (retryAfter, options, octokit, retryCount) => {
      octokit.log.warn(
        `Request quota exhausted for request ${options.method} ${options.url}`,
      );

      if (retryCount < 1) {
        // only retries once
        octokit.log.info(`Retrying after ${retryAfter} seconds!`);
        return true;
      }
    },
    onSecondaryRateLimit: (retryAfter, options, octokit) => {
      // does not retry, only logs a warning
      octokit.log.warn(
        `SecondaryRateLimit detected for request ${options.method} ${options.url}`,
      );
    },
  },
});

async function createIssueOnAllRepos(org) {
  const repos = await octokit.paginate(
    octokit.repos.listForOrg.endpoint({ org }),
  );
  return Promise.all(
    repos.map(({ name }) =>
      octokit.issues.create({
        owner,
        repo: name,
        title: "Hello, world!",
      }),
    ),
  );
}

Pass { throttle: { enabled: false } } to disable this plugin.

Clustering

Enabling Clustering support ensures that your application will not go over rate limits across Octokit instances and across Nodejs processes.

First install either redis or ioredis:

# NodeRedis (https://github.com/NodeRedis/node_redis)
npm install --save redis

# or ioredis (https://github.com/luin/ioredis)
npm install --save ioredis

Then in your application:

const Bottleneck = require("@thellimist/bottleneck");
const Redis = require("redis");

const client = Redis.createClient({
  /* options */
});
const connection = new Bottleneck.RedisConnection({ client });
connection.on("error", err => console.error(err));

const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  auth: 'secret123'
  throttle: {
    onSecondaryRateLimit: (retryAfter, options, octokit) => {
      /* ... */
    },
    onRateLimit: (retryAfter, options, octokit) => {
      /* ... */
    },

    // The Bottleneck connection object
    connection,

    // A "throttling ID". All octokit instances with the same ID
    // using the same Redis server will share the throttling.
    id: "my-super-app",

    // Otherwise the plugin uses a lighter version of Bottleneck without Redis support
    Bottleneck
  }
});

// To close the connection and allow your application to exit cleanly:
await connection.disconnect();

To use the ioredis library instead:

const Redis = require("ioredis");
const client = new Redis({
  /* options */
});
const connection = new Bottleneck.IORedisConnection({ client });
connection.on("error", (err) => console.error(err));
