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

Fixa

Fixa (from Fix Arguments) is a Javascript Library to fix the number of arguments returned on callbacks. It's very useful to standardize callback responses between libraries, for example when using Async.

Install

For NodeJS, use npm:

npm install --save fixa

Use

To use it just call fixa(N) of your original function, where N is the number of arguments that will sent to the callback function. Fixa adds its methods to Function's prototype.

If original function had to return more arguments than N, Fixa will execute callback only with the firsts N arguments. On the other hand, if the original function had to return less arguments than N, Fixa will return those arguments along will null values until complete N arguments.

Last argument must be the callback where you expect a fixed N number of arguments. If you don't send a callback at the end it won't crash but the library will be useless.

Available methods:

Fixa(callback, N)

Fix to N the number of arguments executed in the callback. N must be 0 or a positive integer.

Fixa(callback, N);

fixa(N)

Fix to N the number of arguments executed in the callback. N must be 0 or a positive integer.

[function].fixa(N)(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

fixArguments(N)

Just a synonym of fixa(N) to make code more readable.

[function].fixArguments(N)(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

noArgs

Executes the callback with no arguments. Synonym of fixa(0) to make code more readable.

[function].noArgs(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

oneArg

Executes the callback sending only the first argument. Synonym of fixa(1) to make code more readable.

[function].oneArg(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

twoArgs

Executes the callback sending only the firsts 2 arguments. Synonym of fixa(2) to make code more readable.

[function].twoArgs(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

threeArgs

Executes the callback sending only the firsts 3 arguments. Synonym of fixa(3) to make code more readable.

[function].threeArgs(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

fourArgs

Executes the callback sending only the firsts 4 arguments. Synonym of fixa(4) to make code more readable.

[function].fourArgs(arg1[, arg2[, ...]], callback);

Examples

var Fixa = require("fixa");

// Sample functions
function sampleFunction5Arguments(callback) {
    return callback(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
}

function sampleFunction2Arguments(a, b, callback) {
    return callback(null, {
        result : a + b
    });
}


// Limiting arguments.
// Execute sample function normally.
sampleFunction5Arguments(function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: 1 2 3 4 5
});

// Fix to 2 arguments.
sampleFunction5Arguments.fixa(2)(function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: 1 2 undefined undefined undefined
});

// Fix to 3 arguments.
sampleFunction5Arguments.threeArgs(function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: 1 2 3 undefined undefined
});


// Adding arguments
// Execute sample function normally.
sampleFunction2Arguments(3, 4, function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: null {result : 7} undefined undefined undefined
});

// Fix to 5 arguments.
sampleFunction2Arguments.fixa(5)(3, 4, function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: null {result : 7} null null null
});

// Fix to 1 argument.
sampleFunction2Arguments.oneArg(3, 4, function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: null undefined undefined undefined undefined
});


// Use the library. Useful when it can't be used from functions prototype.
var callback = function(one, two, three, four, five) {
    console.log(one, two, three, four, five);
    // Prints: 1 2 undefined undefined undefined
}

sampleFunction5Arguments(Fixa(callback, 2));
