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 🙏

Observe objects recursively and generate JSON patches

Build Status

Observe an object tree for changes and generate JSON Patches (RFC 6902). Uses Harmony Proxy, available in NodeJS version 6.4 and above.

Usage

const {observe} = require("jsonpatch-observe");

let observable = observe({});
observable.$subscribe(patch => console.log(patch));
observable.a = {b:1};		//prints {op:"add", path:"a", value:{b:1}}
observable.a.b = 2;		//prints {op:"add", path:"a/b", value:2}
delete observable.a;		//prints {op:"remove", path:"a"}

Note that the properties of an Observable are also Observables. This is how it's able to detect when you do observable.a.b = 2.

Unobserved Properties

You can exclude certain properties from observe as follows:

require("jsonpatch-observe").config.excludeProperty = function(obj, prop) {
	//return true to exclude the property
}

Splice Patch

The JSONPatch standard does not specify a "splice" operation. Without splice, Array changes are represented as a series of individual "add", "replace", and "remove" operations, which can be quite inefficient to apply.

This module supports generating the splice patch. Enable it as follows:

require("jsonpatch-observe").config.enableSplice = true;

The splice patch has the following format:

{
	op: "splice",
	path: "/myarr/3",		//path to array index
	remove: 2,			//number of elements removed
	add: ['a','b','c']		//elements added
}

I created a fork of Starcounter-Jack JSONPatch library capable of consuming this non-standard splice patch.
