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 🙏

Why use axios-queue-js?

axios-queue-js is a lightweight wrapper of axios that enables you to make requests using a queue. In simple words, it improves significantly the performance of your requests, once no request is made unless there's an open slot for it. This lib works for both web and node environments and can be easily placed in codebases that already use axios to handle requests, even if they are using a custom client.

Performance of axios with axios-queue-js

All the following results were colleted by doing requests to a localhost server and all the scripts used the default configs for axios-queue-js.

The following chart represents the performance of a node script trying to do 1k sequential requests using nothing but axios.

After almost 2min of execution, axios triggered an error that terminated the script, that was able to do and finish only 209 requests.

Now you can see the results of the same test after using axios along with axios-queue-js in the script.

It's worth mentioning that all the 1k requests were successfully made in only 6 seconds. That is about 5x more requests being made in only 5% of the time.

axios-queue-js results

For the next chart we repreated the previous testing, but this time with 100k requests.

As you can see below, axios-queue-js was able to make axios handle about 478x more requests in only 3x more time than axios did alone.

Usage

You can install axios-queue-js by running a npm install axios-queue-js or yarn add axios-queue-js in your project. After that you can use it as follows.

// By using module imports
import axios from 'axios-queue-js';

axios.get('https://endpoint.test.net').then((response) => {
  console.log('Hey look, I am getting a response using axios-queue-js :D');
});

axios.post('https://endpoint.test.net', {}).then((response) => {
  console.log('Hey look, I am posting something and getting a response using axios-queue-js :D');
});
// By using commonjs
const { default: axios } = require('axios-queue-js');

axios.get('https://endpoint.test.net').then((response) => {
  console.log('Hey look, I am getting a response using axios-queue-js :D');
});

axios.post('https://endpoint.test.net', {}).then((response) => {
  console.log('Hey look, I am posting something and getting a response using axios-queue-js :D');
});

Customizing

If you want to customize the queue length or even use an external axios client to handle the requests, you can create your own AxiosQueueManager instance and use it as you will. Eg.:

// By using module imports
import axios from 'axios';
import { AxiosQueueManager } from 'axios-queue-js';

const axiosQueueClient = new AxiosQueueManager({ queueSize: 10, client: axios.create() });

axiosQueueClient.get('https://endpoint.test.net').then((response) => {
  console.log('Hey look, I am getting a response using axios-queue-js :D');
});
// By using commonjs
const axios = require('axios')
const { AxiosQueueManager } = require('axios-queue-js');

const axiosQueueClient = new AxiosQueueManager({ queueSize: 10, client: axios.create() });

axiosQueueClient.get('https://endpoint.test.net').then((response) => {
  console.log('Hey look, I am getting a response using axios-queue-js :D');
});

Following is a table with all the possible properties that you can set when creating your own AxiosQueueManager instance.

| Key | Optional | Default Value | Type | Description | | --------- | -------- | ------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | queueSize | True | 10 | Number | Represents the queue's maximum size | | client | True | axios.default | AxiosInstance | Custom axios instance that will be used under the hood to handle the requests |
