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 🙏

Simple AOP using filterable function wrappers

What is function-filter?

function-filter is an efficient and lightweight way to allow logic to be extended across different concerns of your application. By wrapping a function in a filter, it is possible to dynamically intercept and optionally modify parameter and return values to the underlying function.

In addition, filters can call alternative logic, or nothing at all, depending on the use case.

Some examples of why you may want to do this include:

  • Logging the parameters passed to a critical function before it is called, and the returned value afterwards.
  • Mutating queries to a database resource, to enforce security constraints.
  • Mutating query results, to redact private information.
  • Memoizing expensive functions based on their input parameters.

Installation

npm install function-filter

Usage

Usage under ES5 and ES6 is essentially the same:

ES5:

var filter = require('function-filter').default;
var myFn = filter(function(chain, argA, argB) {
	console.log(argA, argB);
});

myFn("Hello", "World!");
// Hello World!

myFn.addFilter(function(chain, argA, argB) {
	console.log("Originally called with:", argA, argB);
	return chain.next(chain, "Goodbye", argB);
});

myFn("Hello", "World!");
// Originally called with Hello World!
// Goodbye World!

ES6:

import filter from 'function-filter';
const myFn = filter((chain, argA, argB) => {
	console.log(argA, argB);
});

myFn("Hello", "World!");
// Hello World!

myFn.addFilter((chain, argA, argB) => {
	console.log("Originally called with:", argA, argB);
	return chain.next(chain, "Goodbye", argB);
});

myFn("Hello", "World!");
// Originally called with Hello World!
// Goodbye World!
