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 🙏

helperfunc

v1.4.2

Published

A collection of useful helper functions, able to be used in any circumstance.

Readme


A collection of handy helper functions.

Some of these functions are:

  • A function that generates a random string based on a given length (randomString(lengthOfString: number))
  • A function that gets the last element of a given array (lastArrayElement(array))
  • A function that generates a random true/false bool, based on a given single digit probability (randomBool(singleDigitProbability: number))
  • ...and more to come!

Because this is all built in Typescript, you'll get useful intellisense and IDE documentation! (if you use an IDE that has those) However, this will still work in Javascript.

Installation

You can run this:

npm install helperfunc

Or you can run:

yarn add helperfunc

Depending on whether you use yarn or npm.

Examples of usage:

Javascript Example:

// Get a random true or false value, then return a integer based upon that.

// Import the NEEDED function
const { randomBool } = require("helperfunc"); // CommonJS syntax
// import { randomBool } from "helperfunc" // ES6 import/export syntax

const randomBoolean = randomBool(5); // 5 is the given probability.

const kewlInteger = randomBoolean ? 1 : 0; // If randomBoolean is true, make kewlInteger 1, otherwise, make it 0.

console.log(kewlInteger); // Log it!

Typescript Example:

// Get a random string, then log it.

// Import the NEEDED function
import { randomString } from "helperfunc"; // ES6 import/export syntax
// const { randomBool } = require("helperfunc") // CommonJS syntax

const EpicRandomString: string = randomString(10); // Call the function

console.log(EpicRandomString); // Log it
