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 🙏

Readme

counter8

Counter8 allows you to create and update counters directly from the command line or other Node.js scripts.

Features

  • Creation of a new counter with an initial value.
  • Incrementing counter values.
  • Save counter values to a text file.

Installation

  1. run npm install counter8 to install the library.
  2. Run npm install to install necessary dependencies.

Usage.

Creating a new counter

To create a new counter, use the method Counter.new(name). This will create a new counter file with the given name and initial value 0.

const Counter = require('counter8'); // adjust the path as needed.

async function createCounter(name) {
 try {
    const counter = await Counter.new(name);
    console.log(`Counter ${name} was successfully created.`);
 } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Failed to create counter ${name}. : ${error.message}`);
 }
}

// Example usage
createCounter('myCounter');

Updating a counter

To update the value of a counter, use the counter.add(value) method. This will increment the value of the counter by the specified amount.

async function updateCounter(name, value) {
 try {
    const counter = await Counter.new(name);
    await counter.add(value);
    console.log(`Counter ${name} updated to ${value}`);
 } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Failed to update counter ${name}: ${error.message}`);
 }
}

// Example usage
updateCounter('myCounter', 5);

Running the code

To execute the code, create a new script (e.g. counter-script.js) and import the Counter class. You can then call the createCounter or updateCounter function as in the example above.

Run the script using Node.js:

bash node counter-script.js

New Features

  • Demo is now included by default. (v0.0.196)
  • Correct calculations are now available. (v0.0.195)
