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 🙏

find-replace

Replace or remove multiple items in an array.

Similar to array.prototype.splice() with the following differences:

  • splice only operates on one item at a time requiring you to know its index. find-replace will operate on every item satisfying the find function.
  • If a function is passed as a replaceWith argument, find-replace will invoke it to compute the replacement value.

Synopsis

import findReplace from 'find-replace'

const colours = ['red', 'white', 'blue', 'white']

const result = findReplace(
  colours,
  colour => colour === 'white',
  'gold'
)

console.log(result)
// [ 'red', 'gold', 'blue', 'gold' ]

If the replaceWith value is a function, it will be invoked with the found item and its result used as the replace value. For example:

const colours = ['red', 'white', 'blue', 'white']

const result = findReplace(
  colours,
  colour => colour === 'red',
  colour => colour.split('')
)

console.log(result)
// [ 'r', 'e', 'd', 'white', 'blue', 'white' ]

Real world examples

Replace with an array of strings

This example explodes combined (-vrf) into individual flags (-v -r -f).

import findReplace from 'find-replace'

const argv = ['-vrf', 'file1.js', 'file2.js']
const combinedShortOptionRe = /^-[^\d-]{2,}$/

const result = findReplace(
  argv,
  arg => combinedShortOptionRe.test(arg),
  arg => {
    return arg
      .slice(1) /* remove initial hypen */
      .split('')
      .map(letter => '-' + letter)
  }
)

console.log(result)

Output:

$ node example/argv.mjs
[ '-v', '-r', '-f', 'file1.js', 'file2.js' ]

Delete found items

If you omit the third replaceWith argument, all found items will be deleted.

import findReplace from 'find-replace'

const fruits = ['apple', 'pear', 'nectarine', 'pineapple', 'peach']
const bad = ['pear', 'pineapple']

const result = findReplace(
  fruits,
  fruit => bad.includes(fruit)
)

console.log(result)

Output:

$ node example/delete.mjs
[ 'apple', 'nectarine', 'peach' ]

API Reference

find-replace

findReplace(array, findFn, [...replaceWith]) ⇒ array

Kind: Exported function

| Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | array | array | The input array | | findFn | function | A predicate function which, if returns true causes the current item to be operated on. | | [...replaceWith] | any | If not specified, each found value will be removed. If specified, each found value will be replaced with this value. If the replaceWith value is a function, it will be invoked with the found value and its result used as the replace value. If the replaceWith function returns an array, the found value will be replaced with each item in the array (not replaced with the array itself). |

Load anywhere

This library is compatible with Node.js, the Web and any style of module loader. It can be loaded anywhere, natively without transpilation.

Node.js (CommonJS):

const findReplace = require('find-replace')

Node.js (ECMAScript Module):

import findReplace from 'find-replace'

Modern browser (ECMAScript Module):

import findReplace from './node_modules/find-replace/dist/index.mjs'

Old browser (adds window.findReplace):

<script nomodule src="./node_modules/find-replace/dist/index.js"></script>
