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 🙏

NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED

This project works fine but is not actively maintained.
For the new code, you might want to try the new official rx.disposables package instead.

disposables npm package

Disposables let you safely compose resource disposal semantics.
Think DOM nodes, event handlers, socket connections.

This implementation of disposables is extracted from RxJS.
I took the liberty to tweak the code style to my liking and provide this as a standalone package.

This tiny package includes several disposables:

The API is mostly the same as RxJS except stricter in a few places.
It does not strive for 100% API compatibility with RxJS, but generally behavior is the same.

It's best if you consult the source and tests, as classes are small and few.

Usage

import { Disposable, CompositeDisposable, SerialDisposable } from 'disposables';

// or you can import just the ones you need to keep it even tinier
// import SerialDisposable from 'disposables/modules/SerialDisposable';

function attachHandlers(node) {
	let someHandler = ...;
	node.addEventHandler(someHandler);

	// use Disposable to guarantee single execution
	return new Disposable(() => {
	  node.removeEventHandler(someHandler);
	});
}

// CompositeDisposable lets you compose several disposables...
let nodes = ...;
let compositeDisp = new CompositeDisposable(nodes.map(attachHandlers));

// and more later...
let moreNodes = ...
moreNodes.map(attachHandlers).forEach(d => compositeDisp.add(d));

// and dispose them at once!
function goodbye() {
	compositeDisp.dispose();
}

// ... or replace with a bunch of new ones ...
let serialDisp = new SerialDisposable();
serialDisp.setDisposable(compositeDisp);

function replaceNodes(newNodes) {
	let nextCompositeDisp = new CompositeDisposable(newNodes.map(attachHandlers));

	// release all the previous disposables:
	serialDisp.setDisposable(nextCompositeDisp);
}

// with a guarantee of each dispose() called only once.
