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 🙏

background-tasks-api

v1.1.5

Published

Execute background tasks on main thread's idle periods

Downloads

Readme

Task scheduler api which executes given tasks during main thread's idle periods by using window.requestIdleCallback method. As long as tasks exists, each will be scheduled for the next idle period.

Installation

npm install background-tasks-api --save

Usage

Import scheduleTasks from 'background-tasks-api';

var nonEssentialWork1 = () => {/* do something */};
var nonEssentialWork2 = () => {/* do something */};
var tasks = [ nonEssentialWork1, nonEssentialWork2 ];
var isFIFO = false;

scheduleTasks(tasks, isFIFO);

API

background-tasks-api accepts two parameters:

  • tasks: An array of functions which are going to be executed on main thread's idle periods.
  • isFIFO: A boolean to decide task execution order. Defaults to false.

Notes

In order to use it efficiently, it is crucial to have multiple small partitioned tasks, instead of long-running ones as each idle period has at most 50ms deadlines. Tasks will be executed in Last In First Out order by default.
