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 🙏

About

High performance resource pool written with TypeScript.

  • A fast Resource Pool implementation for JavaScript - see doc/BENCHMARKS.md for the numbers against generic-pool, or benchmark/README.md to reproduce them yourself
  • Advanced configuration options, suits for enterprise level applications
  • Configuration can be changed while pool running
  • Promise based factory supported
  • Supports validation and resource reset
  • Fully tested. (%100 coverage)

Installation

  • npm install lightning-pool --save

Example

import {Pool} from 'lightning-pool';
import dbDriver from 'some-db-driver';

/**
 * Step 1 - Create a factory object
 */
const factory = {
    create: async function(opts) {
        const client = await DbDriver.createClient();
        return client;
    },
    destroy: async function(client) {  
       await client.close();       
    },
    reset: async function(client){   
       await client.rollback();       
    },
    validate: async function(client) {
       await client.query('select 1');       
    }    
};

/**
 * Step 2 - Create a the pool object
 */
const pool = new Pool(factory, {  
    max: 10,    // maximum size of the pool
    min: 2,     // minimum size of the pool
    minIdle: 2  // minimum idle resources
});

pool.start();

/**
 * Step 3 - Use pool in your code to acquire/release resources
 */
// acquire connection - Promise is resolved
const client = await pool.acquire();
// once a resource becomes available
// Use resource
await client.query("select * from foo");
// return object back to pool
await pool.releaseAsync(client);

/**
 * Step 4 - Shutdown pool (optional)
 * Call close(force) when you need to shutdown the pool
 */

// Wait for active resource for 5 sec than force shutdown
await pool.close(5000);
