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 🙏

Wait, what?

Hybrids?! Yea, hybrids are just promises on steroids. The philosophy of hybrids are some edge use cases like when you want to use both promise-style api and callback-style api in same time.

Hybrids are perfect for these times of transition from old school callback hell to the new and modern, next-generation javascript world - Promises, Generators, Async Functions and Arrow functions.

If you have callback api, or even some synchronous libs, hybrids comes to the rescue - use hybridify and you are here - in Promises Land, with centralized error handling and no breaking changes.

You can use hybridify when you considered to deprecate the callback api and want to support it for next few versions. And all that, without breaking changes - users of your library or project will be able to decide what to use - promises or good old callbacks.

Highlights

A few features and main points.

  • "promisify" synchronous and asynchronous functions
  • no breaking changes between switching APIs - from callbacks to promises
  • thin wrapper around relike to add support for both promise and callback-style API
  • only using bluebird, if not other Promise constructor provided through .Promise property
  • bluebird or the custom constructor is used only on environments that don't have support for native Promise
  • works on any nodejs version - from v0.10.x to latest v6+ Node.js
  • accept and works with javascript internal functions like JSON.stringify and JSON.parse

Install

npm i hybridify --save

Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

const hybridify = require('hybridify')

hybridify

Make sync or async fn to support promise and callback-style APIs in same time.

Params

  • <fn> {Function}: Some sync or asynchronous function.
  • [...args] {Mixed}: Any number of any type of arguments, they are passed to fn.
  • returns {Promise}: Always Promise, always native Promise if supported on environment.

Example

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')

const promise = hybridify(fs.readFile, 'package.json', (err, buf) => {
  if (err) console.error('callback err:', err)
  console.log('callback res:', buf) // => '<Buffer 7b 0a 20 ...>'
})

promise.then(buf => {
  console.log('promise res:', buf) // => '<Buffer 7b 0a 20 ...>'
}, err => {
  console.error('promise err:', err.stack)
})

.hybridify

Wrapper function for hybridify(), but acts like .promisify thingy. Accepts fn function and returns a function, which when is called returns a Promise, but also can accept and calls final callback if given.

Params

  • <fn> {Function}: Some sync or asynchronous function.
  • [Promize] {Function}: Promise constructor to be used on environment where no support for native.
  • returns {Function}: Hybridified function, which always return a Promise.

Example

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')
const readdir = hybridify.hybridify(fs.readdir)

const promise = readdir('./', (err, files) => {
  if (err) console.error('callback err:', err)
  console.log('callback res:', files) // => array with directory files
})

promise.then(files => {
  console.log('promise res:', files) // => array of files
}, err => {
  console.error('promise err:', err.stack)
})

.promisify

Alias for relike's .promisify method. Almost the same as the .hybridify method, but can't accept callback. When returned function is called only returns a promise, not calls the final callback.

Params

  • <fn> {Function}: Some sync or asynchronous function.
  • [Promize] {Function}: Promise constructor to be used on environment where no support for native.
  • returns {Function}: Promisified function, which always return a Promise.

Example

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')
const statPromised = hybridify.promisify(fs.statSync)

statPromised('./index.js').then(stats => {
  console.log(stats.mode) // => mode of file
}, err => {
  console.error(err.stack)
})

.Promise

While hybridify always trying to use native Promise if available in the environment, you can give a Promise constructor to be used on environment where there's no support - for example, old broswers or node's 0.10 version. By default, hybridify will use and include bluebird on old environments, as it is the fastest implementation of Promises. So, you are able to give Promise constructor, but it won't be used in modern environments - it always will use native Promise, you can't trick that. You can't give custom promise implementation to be used in any environment.

Example

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')

hybridify.hybridify.Promise = require('q') // using `Q` promise on node 0.10
const readFile = hybridify.hybridify(fs.readFile)

readFile('package.json', 'utf8', (err, val) => {
  if (err) console.error(err)
  console.log(val)
})
.then(console.log, err => {
  console.error(err.stack)
})

One way to pass a custom Promise constructor is as shown above. But the other way is passing it to .Promise of the hybridified function, like that

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')
const statFile = hybridify.hybridify(fs.stat)

statFile.Promise = require('when') // using `when` promise on node 0.10
statFile('package.json').then(console.log, console.error)

One more thing, is that you can access the used Promise and can detect what promise is used. It is easy, just as promise.Promise and you'll get it. Or look for promise.___bluebirdPromise and promise.___customPromise properties. .___bluebirdPromise (yea, with three underscores in front) will be true if environment is old and you didn't provide promise constructor to .Promise.
So, when you give constructor .__customPromise will be true and .___bluebirdPromise will be false.

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')

const promise = hybridify(fs.readFile, 'package.json', 'utf8', (err, val) => {
  if (err) console.error(err)
  console.log(JSON.parse(val).name) // => 'hybridify'
})
promise.then(JSON.parse).then(val => {
  console.log(val.name) // => 'hybridify'
}, console.error)

console.log(promise.Promise) // => used Promise constructor
console.log(promise.___bluebirdPromise) // => `true` on old env, falsey otherwise
console.log(promise.___customPromise) // => `true` when pass `.Promise`, falsey otherwise

Or finally, you can pass Promise constructor as second argument to .promisify/.hybridify method. Like that

const fs = require('fs')
const hybridify = require('hybridify')
const readFile = hybridify.hybridify(fs.readFile, require('when'))

const promise = readFile('index.js')

console.log(promise.Promise) // => The `when` promise constructor, on old environments
console.log(promise.___customPromise) // => `true` on old environments
