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 🙏

Build Coverage Status npm version Package Size

Use Cases:

  • Prevent requests for data that is already available in the cache (obviously)
  • Prevent simultaneous in-flight calls on the same key.
    • (For example, say it takes one second to resovle a data request but there were 10 requests for data on the same key within that second. This would result in one request for that data and it would be resolved for all 10 requests. The request would be issued immediately on the first of the 10 requests)

Allows for:

  • Control TTL of cache key/value
  • Control scope of cache key/values

Usage (In this example, dataSource is a function that returns a promise of the result)

import { Cache } from 'async-cacher'

var cache = new Cache();

const result1 = await cache.get({ dataSource, key: "key 1" }); //The default TTL is 1 minute
const result2 = await cache.get({ dataSource, key: "key 1", millisecondsToLive: 1000 });

You can also force a key to refresh via the get request or clear a key so the next request will refresh the cache key.

const result1 = await cache.get({ dataSource, key: "key 1", forceRefresh: true });
cache.clear({ key: "key 1" });
