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 🙏

Operator overloading plugin for babel

Readme

babel-plugin-overload

CircleCI

This is an experimental plugin that allows you to overload operators in your Javascript code.

Compare with Python:

class Addable:
  def __add__(self, other):
    return # some computation which uses self and other

Using this Babel plugin:

class Addable {
  [Symbol.for('+')] (other) {
    return // some computation which uses this and other
  }
}

This plugin is still in beta and should be considered highly experimental. It should go without saying that you probably should not use this in production.

Example

In

x + y

Out

function (_left, _right) {
  if (_left !== null && _left !== undefined && _left[Symbol.for("+")]) return _left[Symbol.for("+")](_right);else return _left + _right;
}(x, y);

Supported Operators

At the moment, all binary operators are supported. Unary operators are coming soon.

The full supported list is:

  • The arithmetic operators: +, -, /, *, %, **
  • The bitwise operators: &, |, ^
  • The bitshift operators: >>, <<, >>>, <<<
  • The equality operators: ==, ===, !=, !==
  • The inequality operators: >, <, >=, <=
  • The remaining miscellaneous operators: in and instanceof

To overload any of them, define a method named with the Symbol you get with Symbol.for for the appropriate operator. For instance, use Symbol.for('+') to overload the + operator, and Symbol.for('in') to overload the in operator.

You can define the overloading method on the object itself or anywhere on the object's prototype chain.

At the moment, overloading is only supported for the left side value. Support for overloading on the right side value (the equivalent of Python's __radd__ family of methods) is coming soon.
