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 🙏

LINQ in JavaScript

I write a lot of C# and it has a really useful way to query large collections of data, called LINQ.

Although JavaScript arrays have querying capabilities through map, reduce, filter but the limitation is they process the entire array before going to the next step, meaning if you do a map then a filter the whole collection goes through map process before it starts filtering. This can be a problem with large data sets, it can take a while.

Why LINQ?

The advantage of LINQ is that it uses lazy execusion, each item goes through the whole pipeline before the next item is processed. So if you have a large data set you can easily process subsets of the data and break early.

How does it work?

To do this it leverages the ES6 Iterators to yield each value.

Example

var items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].asEnumerable();

for (let item in items.where(x => x % 2).select(x => x + 1))
    console.log(item);

//output will be 2, 4, 6

API

The following LINQ methods are implemented:

  • aggregate
  • all
  • any
  • asEnumerable
  • average
  • concat
  • contains
  • count
  • first, firstOrDefault
  • range
  • repeat
  • select, aliased to map
  • selectMany
  • single, singleOrDefault
  • toArray
  • where, aliased to filter

The full list of what LINQ in .NET does can be found here.
