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 🙏

dualAPI

npm GitHub issues dependencies license

Make your module implement dual APIs.
When the method of your module is called, if a callback Function is appended to the arguments, the method works as callback API. Otherwise the method returns a thenable Promise instance.

For example:
This egg module exports two methods.
The egg.fry method returns 'fried egg' if it is called with 'oil', otherwise it returns [Error: burnt egg]. The egg.boil method returns 'boiled egg' if it is called with 'water', otherwise it returns [Error: broken egg]. These are the same as a function that is passed to Promise constructor.
After setting up exports, call require('dual-api').

// `egg` module

function fry(resolve, reject, doWith) {
  console.log(`An egg is fried with ${doWith || 'nothing'}.`);
  setTimeout(() => {
    if (doWith === 'oil') {
      resolve('fried egg');
    } else {
      reject(new Error('burnt egg'));
    }
  }, 3000);
}

function boil(resolve, reject, doWith) {
  console.log(`An egg is boiled with ${doWith || 'nothing'}.`);
  setTimeout(() => {
    if (doWith === 'water') {
      resolve('boiled egg');
    } else {
      reject(new Error('broken egg'));
    }
  }, 3000);
}

exports.fry = fry;
exports.boil = boil;

require('dual-api');

A code that uses egg module:

const egg = require('egg');

// Call methods as callback API:

egg.fry('oil', function(error, returned) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(`Got a ${returned}.`);
  }
});

egg.boil('water', function(error, returned) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(`Got a ${returned}.`);
  }
});

// Call methods as thenable API:

egg.fry('oil')
  .then(returned => { console.log(`Got a ${returned}.`); })
  .catch(error => { console.error(error); });

egg.boil('water')
  .then(returned => { console.log(`Got a ${returned}.`); })
  .catch(error => { console.error(error); });

Results:

An egg is fried with oil.
Got a fried egg.
An egg is boiled with water.
Got a boiled egg.
An egg is fried with oil.
Got a fried egg.
An egg is boiled with water.
Got a boiled egg.

A single method that is set to module.exports is also supported.
For example, egg-fly module that exports only fry method:

// `egg-fly` module

// There is `fry` function.

module.exports = fry;
require('dual-api');

A code that uses egg-fly module:

const eggFly = require('egg-fly');

// Call method as callback API:

eggFly('oil', function(error, returned) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(`Got a ${returned}.`);
  }
});

// Call method as thenable API:

eggFly('oil')
  .then(returned => { console.log(`Got a ${returned}.`); })
  .catch(error => { console.error(error); });

By default, all exported methods implement dual APIs.
You can specify methods that implement dual APIs by using exports._dualApi_methodNames array.
For example, the module exports fry, boil and beatUp methods, and only boil and beatUp methods implement dual APIs.

// `egg` module

// There are `fry`, `boil` and `beatUp` functions.

exports.fry = fry;
exports.boil = boil;
exports.beatUp = beatUp;

exports._dualApi_methodNames = ['boil', `beatUp`];

require('dual-api');
