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 🙏

Readme

load-time-estimate

Provides a simple blackbox mean of estimating algorithms / IO / functions time to completion. The goal is to report an accurate estimation of the remaining time to the end user.

Setup

Install

npm install load-time-estimate

First run setup

During the first run the library will need to learn roughly how the time is distributed between the various steps of the algorithm.

var Lte = require("load-time-estimate");
var lte = new Lte("estimate");

/*
 * Run the algorithm once to produce estimates
 */

var estimatedTimeDistribution = lte.produceSettings();
//  then you need to save this object somewhere,
//  as it will be required in production mode to make the estimations

Production setup

In the production setup the library will be able to give estimate of the time remaining (even between steps).

var Lte = require("load-time-estimate");
// pass the object saved previously to the constructor
var lte = new Lte(estimatedTimeDistribution);

setInterval(() => {
    // get an estimation of the remaining time in human readable format
    lte.getRemainingTimeEstimate()

    // get an estimation of the number of ms remaining
    lte.getRemainingMsEstimate()

    // get an estimation of the percentage of the task accomplished
    lte.getPcEstimate()
}, 500);

Add the steps in the algorithm

Add a fixed step

lte.addStep();

Add variable number of iteration loop

If the amount of work to do is roughly consistent during the loop it will help the library make more accurate estimations during the loop. If not, just add a fixed step at the beginning and the end of the loop.

lte.addLoop(numberOfIterations);

for (var i = 0; i < numberOfIterations; i++) {
    lte.addLoopIteration();
    /*
     * loop iternals
     */
}

Options

Ever increasing

If no progress are made, it is possible that the estimated time to completion increases. By default the reported estimated percent will not reduce and the estimated time will not increase. Unless this option is set to false.

lte.everIncreasing = false; // (defaults to true)
