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 🙏

License Build Status

Lightweight Database Handler for PostgreSQL writer upon node-postgres and bluebird.

Why?

Because node-postgres is too low level and is not funny to write deeply nested functions for commons task such as create transactions.

Features

Installation

The latest stable version:

$ npm install dbh-pg

It is recommended that you also install bluebird for use Promise.using:

$ npm install bluebird

Usage

  1. Require the dependencies.
  2. Instantiate the DBH (Internally creates a connection pool).
  3. Use Promise.using (or the shorhand DBH.using) to get a connection from the pool and then auto release it. Is important that the callback function returns the connection promise.
// require dependences
var DBH = require('dbh-pg'),
    Promise = require('bluebird'),
    using = Promise.using
    
// instantiate the database
var db = new DBH('postgres://postgres@localhost/db2test')

using(db.conn(), function (conn) {
    // a connection from the pool
    return conn
    .fetchOne('select * from user where id=$1', [10])
    .then(function (user) {
        console.log(user) // {id:10, name:...}
    })
}) // automatic release the connection to pool

conn.fetchOne

Transactions

  1. Call conn.begin to start the transaction
  2. Use the transaction
  3. Explicit call conn.commit, else auto rollback is applied before release the connection to the pool.
// send 10 coins from user_id=3 to user_id=4
using(db.conn(), function (conn) {
    return conn
    .begin() // start transaction
    .then(function () {
        // 'this' points to the created connection 'conn'
        return this.exec(
            'update wallet \
            set coins = coins - 10 \
            where user_id=$1',
            [3]
        );
    }).then(function () {
        return this.exec(
            'update wallet \
            set coins = coins + 10 \
            where user_id=$1',
            [4]
        );
    }).then(function () {
        // commit the transaction!
        return this.commit();
    });
});

conn.begin conn.exec conn.commit

Parallel task

// print array of data (from query) and the total items in the table
using(db.conn(), db.conn(), function (conn1, conn2) {
    return Promise.join(
        conn1.fetchAll('select * from user limit 10'),
        conn2.fetchOne('select count(*) from user')
    )
    .then(function (items, total) {
        console.log(items, total) // array of objects, number
    })
})

Using Shorthands

// shorthands are static methods in the DBH 'class'.
// This is the same example used in Transaction
using(db.conn(), function (conn) {
    conn
    .begin()
    .then(DBH.exec(
        'update wallet \
        set coins = coins - 10 \
        where user_id=$1',
        [3]
    )).then(DBH.exec(
        'update wallet \
        set coins = coins + 10 \
        where user_id=$1',
        [4]
    )).then(DBH.commit())
})

DBH shorthands

Using objects as replacement

// This is the first example, note that
// instead of $1 this uses $id
using(db.conn(), function (conn) {
    return conn
    .fetchOne('select * from user where id=$id', { id : 10 })
    .then(function (user) {
        console.log(user)
    })
})

named parameterized queries

Prepared Statements

// DBH.prepare receives a SQL statement and return function that receives the
// replacement as an array of params.
// Note that DBH.prepare can be used outside the 'using'.
var prepared = DBH.prepare('insert into country_code values($1)')

using(db.conn(), function (conn) {
    var me = this;
    var promises = ['ar', 'cl', 'jp', 'pe', 'co'].map(function (code) {
        return me.exec(prepared(code))
    })
    return Promise.all(promises)
})
