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 🙏

fn-one

v1.0.1

Published

A tiny library to chain functions.

Readme

fn-one is a tiny library to chain functions.

Installation

Node.js

npm install --save fn-one

Browsers

Install as above and use the fn-one.js file found in the node_modules directory:

<script src="./node_modules/fn-one/fn-one.js"></script>

Usage

When chaining functions, each function's output is passed to the next function in line. If a function explicitly returns false or throws an exception, the chain breaks. With function chaining, there is less need for explicit control structures such as if-else statements and loops that clutter the code. They are hidden inside lower-level functions where they belong.

The example below shows how a user account creation process can be implemented by chaining functions:

const chain = require('fn-one');

// (...)

async function createUser(email, password, firstName, lastName) {
    return await chain(
        () => validateInput(email, password, firstName, lastName),
        () => isPasswordValid(password),
        () => userService.isEmailAvailable(email),
        () => userService.hashPassword(password),
        (hashedPassword) => userService.create(email, hashedPassword, firstName, lastName)
    );
}

Things to keep in mind:

  • fn-one awaits all passed functions, whether they return a promise or not.
  • Rejected promises break the chain.
  • fn-one always returns a promise.
