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 🙏

Coverage Status Dependency Status bitHound Overall Score

AsyncKit provides harness for parallel and serial iterators over list of items represented by arrays or objects. Optionally it accepts abort function (should be synchronously return by iterator for each item), and terminates left over jobs upon an error event. For specific iteration order built-in (ascending and descending) and custom sort helpers also supported, via asynckit.serialOrdered method.

It ensures async operations to keep behavior more stable and prevent Maximum call stack size exceeded errors, from sync iterators.

Install

$ npm install --save asynckit

Examples

Parallel Jobs

Runs iterator over provided array in parallel. Stores output in the result array, on the matching positions. In unlikely event of an error from one of the jobs, will terminate rest of the active jobs (if abort function is provided) and return error along with salvaged data to the main callback function.

Input Array

var parallel = require('asynckit').parallel
  , assert   = require('assert')
  ;

var source         = [ 1, 1, 4, 16, 64, 32, 8, 2 ]
  , expectedResult = [ 2, 2, 8, 32, 128, 64, 16, 4 ]
  , expectedTarget = [ 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ]
  , target         = []
  ;

parallel(source, asyncJob, function(err, result)
{
  assert.deepEqual(result, expectedResult);
  assert.deepEqual(target, expectedTarget);
});

// async job accepts one element from the array
// and a callback function
function asyncJob(item, cb)
{
  // different delays (in ms) per item
  var delay = item * 25;

  // pretend different jobs take different time to finish
  // and not in consequential order
  var timeoutId = setTimeout(function() {
    target.push(item);
    cb(null, item * 2);
  }, delay);

  // allow to cancel "leftover" jobs upon error
  // return function, invoking of which will abort this job
  return clearTimeout.bind(null, timeoutId);
}

More examples could be found in test/test-parallel-array.js.

Input Object

Also it supports named jobs, listed via object.

var parallel = require('asynckit/parallel')
  , assert   = require('assert')
  ;

var source         = { first: 1, one: 1, four: 4, sixteen: 16, sixtyFour: 64, thirtyTwo: 32, eight: 8, two: 2 }
  , expectedResult = { first: 2, one: 2, four: 8, sixteen: 32, sixtyFour: 128, thirtyTwo: 64, eight: 16, two: 4 }
  , expectedTarget = [ 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ]
  , expectedKeys   = [ 'first', 'one', 'two', 'four', 'eight', 'sixteen', 'thirtyTwo', 'sixtyFour' ]
  , target         = []
  , keys           = []
  ;

parallel(source, asyncJob, function(err, result)
{
  assert.deepEqual(result, expectedResult);
  assert.deepEqual(target, expectedTarget);
  assert.deepEqual(keys, expectedKeys);
});

// supports full value, key, callback (shortcut) interface
function asyncJob(item, key, cb)
{
  // different delays (in ms) per item
  var delay = item * 25;

  // pretend different jobs take different time to finish
  // and not in consequential order
  var timeoutId = setTimeout(function() {
    keys.push(key);
    target.push(item);
    cb(null, item * 2);
  }, delay);

  // allow to cancel "leftover" jobs upon error
  // return function, invoking of which will abort this job
  return clearTimeout.bind(null, timeoutId);
}

More examples could be found in test/test-parallel-object.js.

Serial Jobs

Runs iterator over provided array sequentially. Stores output in the result array, on the matching positions. In unlikely event of an error from one of the jobs, will not proceed to the rest of the items in the list and return error along with salvaged data to the main callback function.

Input Array

var serial = require('asynckit/serial')
  , assert = require('assert')
  ;

var source         = [ 1, 1, 4, 16, 64, 32, 8, 2 ]
  , expectedResult = [ 2, 2, 8, 32, 128, 64, 16, 4 ]
  , expectedTarget = [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
  , target         = []
  ;

serial(source, asyncJob, function(err, result)
{
  assert.deepEqual(result, expectedResult);
  assert.deepEqual(target, expectedTarget);
});

// extended interface (item, key, callback)
// also supported for arrays
function asyncJob(item, key, cb)
{
  target.push(key);

  // it will be automatically made async
  // even it iterator "returns" in the same event loop
  cb(null, item * 2);
}

More examples could be found in test/test-serial-array.js.

Input Object

Also it supports named jobs, listed via object.

var serial = require('asynckit').serial
  , assert = require('assert')
  ;

var source         = [ 1, 1, 4, 16, 64, 32, 8, 2 ]
  , expectedResult = [ 2, 2, 8, 32, 128, 64, 16, 4 ]
  , expectedTarget = [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
  , target         = []
  ;

var source         = { first: 1, one: 1, four: 4, sixteen: 16, sixtyFour: 64, thirtyTwo: 32, eight: 8, two: 2 }
  , expectedResult = { first: 2, one: 2, four: 8, sixteen: 32, sixtyFour: 128, thirtyTwo: 64, eight: 16, two: 4 }
  , expectedTarget = [ 1, 1, 4, 16, 64, 32, 8, 2 ]
  , target         = []
  ;


serial(source, asyncJob, function(err, result)
{
  assert.deepEqual(result, expectedResult);
  assert.deepEqual(target, expectedTarget);
});

// shortcut interface (item, callback)
// works for object as well as for the arrays
function asyncJob(item, cb)
{
  target.push(item);

  // it will be automatically made async
  // even it iterator "returns" in the same event loop
  cb(null, item * 2);
}

More examples could be found in test/test-serial-object.js.

Note: Since object is an unordered collection of properties, it may produce unexpected results with sequential iterations. Whenever order of the jobs' execution is important please use serialOrdered method.

Ordered Serial Iterations

TBD

For example compare-property package.

Streaming interface

TBD
