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 🙏

Utility for type casting & data conversion.

Chaste is a tiny library for handle type casting.

Basically you stablish the output type to convert your input data, for example:

const Chaste = require('chaste')
const chaste = Chaste(String)

Now, when you provide a input value it always return the String casting version:

chaste(12)
// => '12'

By default, it's support native types (like Array, Object, Date or Error).

Also you can provide a function-type-like, for example:

const chaste = Chaste(pad)
chaste('abc', 8, '_-').should.be.equal('_-abc_-_')
// => '_-abc_-_'

As you can see, rest param are supported!

You can use it as little middleware to be sure about the value of something.

Install

$ npm install chaste --save

If you want to use in the browser (powered by Browserify):

$ bower install chaste --save

and later link in your HTML:

<script src="bower_components/chaste/dist/chaste.js"></script>

Usage

const Chaste = require('chaste')
const chaste = Chaste(String)

chaste(12)
// => '12'
