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 🙏

housecall

v1.4.1

Published

A promise queue. Simple and sweet.

Downloads

80

Readme

Push promise-returning functions to the queue. Set the concurrency, and optionally a cooldown.

The queue is best understood as an airport runway: each function takes off with a minimum distance of the cooldown in milliseconds. Concurrency is the number of flights that can currently be in the air. When promises resolve, the plane has landed.

Install

npm install housecall

Usage

var housecall = require('housecall');
var axios = require('axios');

var queue = housecall({ concurrency: 2, cooldown: 1000 });

queue.push(() => axios.get('https://twitter.com/').then((response, body) => {
	// The eventual response of Twitter	
}));

// This request will not start until 1000 ms after the above.
queue.push(() => axios.get('https://some.com/').then((response, body) => {
	// ...
}));

// This will not run until of the above have terminated.
queue.push(() => axios.get('https://test.com/').then((response, body) => {
	// ...
}));

Make sure you wrap the function. Otherwise it will run immediately, and defeat the purpose of the queue.

// WILL NOT BE CORRECTLY ENQUEUED
queue.push(axios.get('https://twitter.com/').then((response, body) => {
	// The queue will not control the start of execution here.
}));

Events

Whenever the queue is empty after handling tasks, it will emit an 'idle' event.

queue.on('idle', function(noTasksCompleted, noTasksWithError) {
	// Do something
});

Errors

The queue continues on any error, but the error will be outputted to stdout.
