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

dataloader-values

dataloader is an awesome package used for batching/caching and plays really well with GraphQL.

The only purpose of this package is to format the array of values returned from a batch function to uphold dataloader constraints:

  • The Array of values must be the same length as the Array of keys.
  • Each index in the Array of values must correspond to the same index in the Array of keys.

That means this package will be useful if it is difficult or impossible for you to accomplish any of the following with your batch function:

  • Fill in missing values
  • Sort values by key
  • Group flattened values by key

Note that missing values are filled in with null for keys with single values and [] for keys with many values.

Installation

yarn add dataloader-values

or

npm install dataloader-values

Usage

Consider the example from dataloader. Your implementation might look like this:

import DataLoader from 'dataloader';
import { alignSingleValues } from 'dataloader-values';
import batchFetchLocations from './batchFetchLocations'; // Your batch function

const locationLoader = new DataLoader(async keys => {
  const values = await batchFetchLocations(keys);

  const alignedValues = alignSingleValues({
    keys,
    values,
    getKey: ({ id }) => id,
  });

  return alignedValues;
});

You can also return values grouped into arrays by key (e.g., in a one-to-many relationship). For instance:

import DataLoader from 'dataloader';
import { alignManyValues } from 'dataloader-values';
import batchFetchComments from './batchFetchComments'; // Your batch function

const commentsLoader = new DataLoader(async keys => {
  // Returns flattened, ungrouped values
  const values = await batchFetchComments(keys);

  // Returns values grouped into arrays by key
  const alignedValues = alignManyValues({
    keys,
    values,
    getKey: ({ postId }) => postId,
  });

  return alignedValues;
});

See tests for a better breakdown of the data transformation.

API

export declare function alignSingleValues<TValue = any>(args: AlignValuesArgs<TValue>): TValue[];
export declare function alignManyValues<TValue = any>(args: AlignValuesArgs<TValue>): TValue[][];

Both exported functions expect an object with the following arguments:

Field|Description ---|--- keys|Array of DataLoader keys values|Array of values returned from batch function getKey|Callback function that returns the key from a single value (e.g., ({ id }) => id)
