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 🙏

###Create async function wrapper that ensure wrapped function is only excecuted once and memorize execution result to pass to subsequence invocation. Combine power of memoize and once to help create async loading module.

##Usage

Pass to memonce a function and it will return a wrap around function of that function. Invoke the new function to get desired result (that is only invoke once, cache all return/throw/async result/async error of that single call, emit events as necessary).

var memonce = require("memonce");

function asyncThings(cb) {
    cb(null, "Async result passing: " + Math.random());
}

var fn = memonce(asyncThings);

fn(function(err, result) {
    console.log(result);
});//The only one tine the real function is invoked

fn(function(err, result) {
    console.log(result);
});//Only pass result from cached first time invocation of real function, not invoking it.

More example at the test/ folder.

##Events:

invoke: at the first invocation of the function.

reinvoke: at any subsequence invocation.

return: after the real function return, but before the wrapper function return.

throw: after the real function throw, but before the wrapper function throw.

callback: after the real function's callback get called, but before the wrapper function's callback get called.

success: after "callback" event and only if callback function receive no error (the first parameter of callback function have no or null value).

failure: same as "success" event but only if there is an error.
