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

dst.js

Is it daylight savings time?

Date.prototype.isDST()

Returns true if the date is during daylight savings time.

(window || require('dst')).is_dst(date, [thresholds])

Available either directly via require or on the window object, is_dst is the function underlying the prototype method.

It accepts an additional thresholds argument, which should take the following form:

{
    "spring_forward":<integer offset from beginning of year in milliseconds>,
    "fall_back":<integer offset from beginning of year in milliseconds>,
}

nota bene

spring_forward need not be before fall_back -- in fact, in 50% of earthly hemispheres, it's just the opposite situation.

further, in other saner lands, there may be no thresholds to cross -- that is, there are happy, productive human beings that somehow survive without DST. in that case, both fields may be set to 0.

is_dst.find_thresholds()

Splits the year in two halves, and attempts to check at which point in the hemi-year Date#getTimezoneOffset changes values. Run once during the execution of the program. Uses a binary search -- cuts out at the granularity of one second.

May be used to provide valid thresholds to pass into is_dst, if so desired.

testing


$ npm install --dev dst
$ npm test dst
