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 🙏

Is It Set

Build Status

A one-liner to check if a property is set (not null, undefined or an empty string).

Installation

Run the following command to make this package available in your project:

npm install is-it-set --save

Usage

Import this package into your script like this:

const isSet = require('is-it-set');

Now you can run isSet on any input:

/*
 * Empty strings, `null` and `undefined` all return `false`
 */
isSet('')        // => false
isSet(null)      // => false
isSet(undefined) // => false

/*
 * Any other input returns `true`
 */
isSet(0)         // => true
isSet(-1)        // => true
isSet(' ')       // => true
isSet(false)     // => true
isSet('Hello')   // => true
isSet(Infinity)  // => true
isSet(Date)      // => true

Why does this package exist?

JavaScript has some opinions on what should be considered falsy, and that's great for developer convenience when dealing with variable data.

However, sometimes the only values that should not pass a test (like an if()) should be data types that purposefully mean "no data" -- null, undefined and the empty string (''). Empty strings are often used as a no-data indicator in JSON documents.

A Simple Example

function squareNumber(input) {
  /**
   * A simple check to make sure there's data to work with
   */
  if (isSet(input)) {
    return input * input;	  
  } else {
    throw new ReferenceError('No input given');
  }
}
