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 🙏

Apply any number of middleware functions to the target function

Readme

apply-middleware

Apply any number of middleware functions to the target function. Created with ds-library-starter.

Installation

npm:

npm install apply-middleware

yarn:

yarn add apply-middleware

Usage

The applyMiddleware() function takes the list of functions as arguments.

The first function represents the target function, and every next function represents the middleware function.

applyMiddleware(targetFunction, middleware1, middleware2, ...middlewares);

Middleware function

The first argument of the middleware function is the next() callback.

Invoking the next() callback will invoke the next() middleware in the list.

In the last middleware function, the next() callback will invoke the target function.

function myMiddleware (next, ...arguments) {
   next();
}

If we pass the arguments to the next() callback, they will be passed to the next middleware function replacing the previous arguments.

function myMiddleware (next, ...arguments) {
   const newArguments = arguments.map(arg => arg + 1);
   next(newArguments);
}

If no arguments are passed to the next() callback, the next middleware will receive the same, unchanged arguments as the current middleware.

Example

import applyMiddleware from 'apply-middleware';

function addTimestamp (next, ...args) {
   const timestamp = new Date().toUTCString();
   next(timestamp, '---', ...args);
};

console.log = applyMiddleware(console.log, addTimestamp);

console.log('Hello', 'World'); // Sat, 30 Nov 2019 23:53:56 GMT --- Hello World

Another example

import applyMiddleware from 'apply-middleware';

function addOne (next, a, b) {
   next(a + 1, b + 1);
});

function logNumbers (next, a, b) {
   console.log(a, b);
   next();
});

function addDecimal (next, a, b) {
   next(a + 0.1, b + 0.1);
});

function saveToLocalStorage (a, b) {
   const json = JSON.stringify({ a, b });
   localStorage.setItem('numbers', json);
   console.log('Numbers have been saved to the local storage');
}

const withMiddleware = applyMiddleware(
   // Function to be wrapped
   saveToLocalStorage,

   // List of middlewares
   logNumbers,
   addOne,
   logNumbers,
   addDecimal,
   logNumbers
)

withMiddleware(1, 11);

// Execution order 
// logNumbers / console = 1, 11
// addOne
// logNumbers / console = 2, 13
// addDecimal
// logNumbers / console = 2.0, 13.0
// saveToLocalStorage / console = Numbers have been saved to the local storage
