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 🙏

Adds support for ES7 async functions to hapi route handlers

npm package

ES7 Async Functions

ES7 introduces async functions, which are functions that support the await keyword and return promises. This hapi plugin adds a handler called async that allows you to write your route handlers using async functions. You can also use hapi-async-handler with io.js, generator functions (and the yield keyword), and co today. There are examples of both styles of use shown below.

Using hapi-async-handler

Registering the Plugin

var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.register([
  require('hapi-async-handler')
], function(error) { ... });

Defining a Route Handler

Define an async function that receives request and reply like a normal route handler and assign it the async property of the route handler.

server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/',
  handler: {
    // The "async" handler accepts an async function
    async: async function(request, reply) {
      // instapromise gives you promises from methods with Node-style callbacks
      require('instapromise');
      var fileContents = await fs.promise.readFile('example.txt', 'utf8');
      reply(fileContents);
    }
  }
});

For the async keyword to work, you will need to transform your source code with Babel, regenerator, or a similar compiler.

Using co

You can also use co and generator functions without any source-code transformations if you are using io.js.

server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/',
  handler: {
    // co.wrap creates a function that returns a promise, just like an async function
    async: co.wrap(function*(request, reply) {
      require('instapromise');
      var fileContents = yield fs.promise.readFile('example.txt', 'utf8');
      reply(fileContents);
    })
  }
});
