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 🙏

Rationale

This library aims to provide helpers to test Angular apps that are not provided natively. For now it especially focusses on timing issues with rx.

Features

Whats wrong with Angulars test helpers

Suppose you want to test following code:

function delayOneSec(val) {
    return Observable.of(val).delay(1000);
}

To test this in Angular, you could write:

describe('my suite', () => {
    it('should wait one second', fakeAsync(() => {
        let result = null;
        delayOneSec('hello').subscribe(v => result = v);
        expect(result).toBeNull();
        tick(1000); // Move time forward 1 second
        expect(result).toBe('hello');
    });
});

This test would fail. That is because the rx delay() operator doesn't only use setTimeout() or setInterval() internally, but also uses the rx Scheduler now() method to check whether time has really passed. By default it uses Scheduler.async of which the now() function resolves to getting the current time. See angular issue #8678

Solution provided by this lib

When this library is used, the Scheduler.async.now() function is overridden to return a virtual time. This time is automatically put forward when the tick() function of this library is called.

In addition it provides setFakeTime() to set the time manually.

Usage

Instead of importing tick() from '@angular/core/testing', import it from this library. So instead of

import { fakeAsync, tick } from '@angular/core/testing';

use

import { fakeAsync } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { tick } from 'angular-testing-ext';

Conclusion

Lets hope Angular will provide it's own way of dealing with this in the future.
