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 🙏

Introduction

Some javascript function enhacements. Arguments:pass, prepend, append. Timing: delay, periodical, debounce, throttle, once

var Fun = require("function-enhancements");
// Returns a closure with arguments and bind
Fun.pass(args[, bind])

// Returns a closure with the given arguments before the ones you send at the call
Fun.prepend(args[, bind])

// Returns a closure with the given arguments after the ones you send at the call
Fun.append(args[, bind])

// Delays the execution of a function by a specified duration.
Fun.delay(delay_ms[, bind[, args]])

// Executes a function in the specified intervals of time.
// Periodic execution can be stopped using the clearInterval function.
Fun.periodical(periodical_ms[, bind[, args]])

// Returns a function, that, as long as it continues to be invoked, will not
// be triggered. The function will be called after it stops being called for
// N milliseconds.
Fun.debounce(wait_ms[, args[, bind]])

// Creates and returns a new, throttled version of the passed function,
// that, when invoked repeatedly, will only actually call the original
// function at most once per every wait milliseconds. Useful for
// rate-limiting events that occur faster than you can keep up with.
Fun.throttle(wait_ms[, args[, bind]])

// Returns a function that will be executed at most one time, no matter how
// often you call it. Useful for lazy initialization.
Fun.once([bind[, args]])

// Returns a function that will be executed every <ntimes> times at most of <max_executions>
Fun.every(ntimes, max_executions[, bind[, args]])

// Returns a function that will be executed after being called n times
Fun.after(ntimes[, bind[, args]])

// Returns a function that will be executed ntimes with a given delay between them
// If delay is false is cero will be executed right now
// If first_delay is false is cero will be executed right now
Fun.nth(ntimes[, delay[, first_delay[, last_func[, bind[, args]]]]])

// Create a function, when called invoke this.
// If you called again and it's in execution, the execution is queued. So only (max) execution at time
// A new argument is sent to your function, a callback no notify the execution ended
Fun.funnel(max[, bind[, args[, where]]])

// Create a function that can only be call once in parallel, the followings will be queued
// A new argument is sent to your function, a callback no notify the execution ended
Fun.single([, bind[, args[, where]]])

// Creates a function that memoizes the result of func for a given time.
// If hash_function is provided it will be used to determine the cache
// key for storing the result based on the arguments provided to the memoized function.
Fun.cache(cache_time_ms[, bind[, hash_function]])

// for compatibility with old browsers @lib/functions-compat.js
Fun.bind

In action!

Check the test/test.js for more examples.


var test = function() {
    console.log("arguments:", arguments);
    console.log("this:", this);
}

test.toString = function() { return "[test Function]";};

// Function.args: prepend given arguments

var t2 = test.prepend(["say", "hello"], {iamthis: true});

t2();
// > arguments: { '0': 'say', '1': 'hello' }
// > this: { iamthis: true }

t2("thidparam!");
// > arguments: { '0': 'say', '1': 'hello', '2': 'thidparam!' }
// > this: { iamthis: true }


// Function.pass: create a function with given args and any call you will have the same arguments

var t3 = test.pass(["dont mind your args"], {whoami: "root"});

t3();
// arguments: { '0': 'dont mind your args' }
// this: { whoami: 'root' }
t3("second - is not displayed!");
// arguments: { '0': 'dont mind your args' }
// this: { whoami: 'root' }


// Function.delay execute the funtion in X miliseconds

var del = t2.delay(500);
setTimeout(del);

// Function.periodical execute the funtion every X miliseconds

var inter = t2.periodical(500);
clearInterval(inter);

// Function.throttle execute a function once every X miliseconds, dont mind how many time you call it.

var t4 = test.throttle(1000);
var inter = t4.periodical(50);

setTimeout(function() {
    clearInterval(inter);
}, 10000);

// 10 times
// > this: [test Function]
// > arguments: {}

this gives you an idea :) check the test/test.js for more examples
