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 🙏

Utility functions that emulate CoffeeScript existence operator

Readme

exist-utils NPM Version Build Status Coverage Status dependencies Status devDependencies Status

This package is a collection of util functions that emulate CoffeeScript existence operator. While waiting that some of them are integrated in the next version of JavaScript, you can use this package while porting from CoffeeScript, etc.

Installation

Node Installation

npm install exist-utils

You can then ExistUtils = require('exist-utils') or import * as ExistUtils from 'exist-utils'.

Browser Installation

Use the minified UMD build in the dist folder: here. It exports a global window.ExistUtils when imported as a <script> tag.

Usage

Each function as a full name (i.e. exists) and a shorthand (i.e. ex), both are specified in the title of their description. You can check the equivalence with CoffeeScript operators in the following section.

exists (ex)

Example:

if (!exists(arg)) {
  error('missing arg');
}

This is the equivalent to CoffeeScript val?, it checks if a value "exists" (is neither null nor undefined).

existsChained (exc)

Example:

if (!existsChained(arg, 'callback')) {
  error('no callback specified');
}

This is the equivalent to CoffeeScript obj?.prop?, it checks if a whole chain "exists".

existsChainedValue (excv)

Example:

const callback = existsChainedValue(arg, 'callback');
if (!exists(callback)) {
  error('no callback specified');
  return;
}
callback();

This is the equivalent to CoffeeScript obj?.prop, it checks if a whole chain "exists" and returns the final value.

elvis (el)

Example:

val = elvis(arg, 42);

This is the equivalent to CoffeeScript val ? default and a safer version to val || default. It returns the second value if the first one doesn't "exist".

callsIfExist (fnex)

Example:

callsIfExist(func, 1, 2);

This is the equivalent to CoffeeScript func?(1, 2), it checks the existence of the function and calls it with the provided arguments.

callsIfExistObj (fnexo)

Example:

callsIfExistObj(obj, 'func', 1, 2);

This is the equivalent to CoffeeScript obj?.func?(1, 2), it checks the existence of the function and calls it with the provided arguments while providing the right value for this.

CoffeeScript equivalents

| CoffeeScript | exist-utils | exist-utils shorthand | |:-------------------------|:-----------------------------------|:---------------------------| | val? | exists(val) | ex(val) | | obj?.prop? | existsChained(obj, 'prop') | exc(obj, 'prop') | | obj?.prop | existsChainedValue(obj, 'prop') | excv(obj, 'prop') | | val = arg ? 3 | val = elvis(arg, 3) | val = el(arg, 3) | | func?(a, b) | callsIfExist(func, a, b) | fnex(func, a, b) | | obj.func?(a, b) | callsIfExistObj(obj, func, a, b) | fnexo(obj, func, a, b) |
