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

es6-promise-chain

Iterates over collection and applies a promise to each. This is useful if each item in the array needs to perform an asynchronous action but as a whole needs to occur synchronously.

Index Location: dist/index.js Type Definitions: dist/index.d.ts

for

The for function takes an array of promises and iterates over them in order. It will wait for each subsequent promises to resolve before continuing to the next promise. This can be done with promise chaining already but can only deal with fixed tasks and not a dynamic array of tasks.

for(Array<callback () => Promise<any>>);

import * as PromiseChain from 'es6-promise-chain';

function makeDinner(): Promise<any[]> {
  let promises: (() => Promise<any>)[] = [];
  let me = new Myself();
  let dishes = false;

  switch(me.getHungryFor()) {
    case: Food.Pasta:
      promises.push(me.makePasta);
      dishes = true;
      break;
    case: Food.Rice:
      promises.push(me.makeRice);
      dishes = true;
      break;
    case: Food.Pizza:
      promises.push(me.orderPizza);
      break;
  }

  promises.push(me.eat);

  if(dishes) {
      promises.push(me.doDishes);
  }

  return PromiseChain.for(promises);
}

forEach

The forEach function iterates over an array and applies a callback to each item. This is useful if each item in an array should take the same action.

forEach(Array<T>, callback (item: T) => Promise<any>);

import * as PromiseChain from 'es6-promise-chain';

let players = [new Player(), new Player() ... new Player()];

PromiseChain.forEach(players, (player) => {
  return Promise((resolve) => {
    player.playMove().then(() => {
      resolve();
    });
  });
});

// OR [better]

PromiseChain.forEach(players, (player) => {
  return player.playMove();
});

while

The while function runs the callback while the condition in the first argument is met.

while(condition: () => boolean, callback: () => Promise<any>)

import * as PromiseChain from 'es6-promise-chain';

enum PlayerAction {Hit, Stay};

function playBlackjack(): Promise<any[]> {
  let player = new Player();

  PromiseChain.while(() => return player.stillPlaying, () => {
    return player.play().then((action: PlayerAction) => {
      player.stillPlaying = action === PlayerAction.Stay || player.handValue > 21;
    });
  });
}
