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 🙏

cancelable-fetch

Makes a fetch cancelable.

Usage

cancelable-fetch wraps an existing fetch and adds a cancel method. Only the headers will be fetched if the response body of fetch supports cancel. The request can't be canceled before, because the fetch interface doesn't provide a method for it. In any case, if cancel was called, an user cancelation error will be thrown.

The Promise standard doesn't support cancel. Therefore always use the return value of cancelable-fetch, because cancel will not be forwarded in the Promise chain!

Example

In this example doRequest takes care that only the latest request will respond.

var cancelableFetch = require('cancelable-fetch')

var request = null

function doRequest () {
  // check if there is a running request
  if (request) {
    // cancel that request
    request.cancel()
  }

  // wrap the new request with cancelableFetch
  request = cancelableFetch(fetch(url)).then(function (res) {
    // remove running request
    request = null

    // forward response
    return res
  })

  return request
}
