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

Go Catch

Handle errors without try/catch, in the Go style. Compatible with async and sync functions, preserving its types.

Installation

npm install --save go-catch

Import goCatch for async functions or goCatchWrap for regular sync functions.

import { goCatch, goCatchWrap } from 'go-catch';

Examples

Regular sync function

// Without Go Catch
const result = JSON.parse(value);

// With Go Catch
const [result, err] = goCatchWrap(JSON.parse)(value);
import { goCatchWrap } from 'go-catch';

interface Response {
  value: number;
}

// You can specify the return type of the function using generics
// or let TypeScript infer it automatically.
const [parsedValue, parseError] = goCatchWrap<Response>(JSON.parse)(input);

// You can handle errors checking their types or simply checking whether
// they are null
if (parseError instanceof SyntaxError) {
  console.error('Invalid response: ' + input);
  process.exit(1);
}

// After validated that there are no errors, you can use the
// non-null assertion operator to tell TypeScript that parsedValue
// should not be treated as null.
parsedValue!.a;

Async functions

import { goCatch } from 'go-catch';

async function getUser(...args): Promise<User> | null {
  // With async functions, you can call the function directly inside of the goCatch as an argument.
  const [response, err] = await goCatch(axios.get<User>('/user', params));

  if (err) {
    return console.error(err);
  }

  response!.data;

  // ...
}
