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

Pegasus

Pegasus is a tiny lib that lets you load JSON data while loading other scripts.

If you have a static website, using this technique, you can reduce the time to display data. Works with any JS lib (React, Vue, jQuery, ...).

Before

JSON (yellow bar) is downloaded several milliseconds after the JS library (orange bar).

After (with Pegasus)

JSON (yellow bar) and the JS library (orange bar) are downloaded at the same time.

Install

Embedded (recommended)

To save a network call, it's recommended to simply paste the following code pegasus.min.js in your HTML page before other scripts.

CDN

https://unpkg.com/@typicode/pegasus/dist/pegasus.min.js

npm

$ npm install @typicode/pegasus

Please note that pegasus is available on npm under @typicode/pegasus

Demo

Benchmark

Average time to display data on the demo site.

| | jQuery only | jQuery + Pegasus | |:------------|:-------------|:------------------| |EDGE | 3000 ms | 2100 ms | |3G | 860 ms | 640 ms | |DSL | 270 ms | 230 ms |

Note: jQuery is used for illustration only, you can use Pegasus with any other Javascript library.

Usage example

<!-- Load (or embed) Pegasus before loading any other script -->
<script src="pegasus.min.js"></script>

<!-- Make your request(s) -->
<script>
  var request = pegasus('http://api.example.com');
</script>

<!-- Load your app lib(s) -->
<script src="lib.js"></script>

<!-- Use .then() method to retrieve data in your app -->
<script>
  request.then(
    // success handler
    function(data, xhr) {
      // do something useful like
      $('#data').text(JSON.stringify(data));
    },
    // error handler (optional)
    function(data, xhr) {
      console.error(data, xhr.status)
    }
  );
</script>

Optionally, you can set a timeout using pegasus.timeout = milliseconds
