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 🙏

A powerful wrapper for Firestore's getDoc method with cache and retry functionality

Readme

What is this travesty?

It's simply a powerful wrapper around the getDoc method from firebase/firestore!

What can it do?

It currently supports automatic or configured caching and automatic retries. Basically, you can set a persistent cache time for a document and have it be enforced globally whenever you use getDocWrapper or you can set a one-time cache for one specific request, or you can completely bypass both! You can also choose to retry a request a maximum amount of times, with or without a delay, or even only on specific Firestore errors!

Usage

const docData = await getDocWrapper(db, "path/to/your/document", {
    cacheOptions: {
	    enabled: true,
	    cacheTime: {
		    locked: true,
		    time: 70000,
		    bypassLockedTime: false
		},
		forceRefresh: false
    },
    retryOptions: {
	    enabled: true,
	    maxRetries: 7,
	    retryDelay: 5000,
	    retryOnErrorCode: ["deadline-exceeded"]
    }
}

Parameters

TO-DO but they're pretty self-explanatory, and there's a JSDoc for the function explaning the different cache types.

Troubleshooting

If getDocWrapper isn't retrying on specific errors make sure you are using them as they come from Firebase, i.e: lower-case letters and hyphens instead of upper-case letters and underscores. This can be easily implemented but currently there's no need to as I only built this library for personal use, if it starts to gain some traction, I'll be happy to do it!
