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 🙏

ES6 do-notation for fantasyland

Readme

Fantasy Do

Fantasy do is a generalization of mozilla's task.js from Promises/A+ to any monad, as defined by the Fantasy Land Spec. While usage is syntactically similar to Haskell's Do Notation, it's implemented completely at runtime with ES6 generators.

Fantasy Land Branding

Usage

Fantasy Do requires ES6 generators. In node, you can enable these with the --harmony option.

If you happen to have a browser with ES6 support, use the included fantasydo.min.js with your module loader of choice, or just with a script tag.

The library is available for node.js on npm under fantasydo

Normal mode

If your monad only calls the argument to the chain function once ('non-branching'), you can use Fantasy Do's normal, high-performance mode.

First, you'll need a monad. See the Fantasy Land Implementation List to find some monads that may work for you.

Here's a very simple Maybe monad:

var Maybe = {}
Maybe.chain = function(f) {
    if(this.val !== null)
        return f(this.val);
    return this;
};
Maybe.of = function(t) {
    return {"val" : t, "chain" : Maybe.chain};
};
Maybe.none = function() {
    return {"val" : null, "chain" : Maybe.chain};
};

Now, we can write a function that depends on multiple maybe values, and will only complete if all of them are not none:

Do(function*(){
    var a = yield testm.of(7);
    var b = yield testm.of(a + 9);
    return b;
 }).val // => 16

Do(function*(){
    var a = yield testm.of(7);
    var q = yield testm.none();
    var b = yield testm.of(a + 9);
    return b;
}, testm).val  // => null

Multi-mode

Fantasy Do also supports monads that may call their chain parameter multiple times, like the non-determinism context (aka the list monad). Without the ability to copy generator state, this works by re-runninng the generator from the beginning for each branch. This may behave strangely if your bind argument has significant side-effects.

Array.prototype.chain = function(f) {
  let next = [];
  let len = this.length;
  this.forEach(function(it){
      let v = f(it);
      v.forEach(function(it){next.push(it)});
  });
  return next;
};
Array.prototype.of = function(t) {return [t];}

then,

Do.Multi(function*(){
    let c = yield [1, 2];
    let d = yield [c + 1, c + 2];
    return d;
} // => [2, 3, 3, 4]
