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 🙏

Valuable

Takes a function executes it before each test an returns a function that returns the value returned by the original function. If given function returns a promise then it returns the value returned by the promise.

It is specially useful for async value handling since it helps you work in a more sync way. Of course it is only useful for tests and most not be used in other contexts.

Example 1:

const Promise = require('bluebird');

const createObjectAsync = function() {
  return Promise.resolve({
    attr1: 'val1',
    attr2: 'val2'
  });
};

const d = require('mocha-dot-helpers');
const object = d.val(() => createObjectAsync());

it('returns result of #createObjectAsync() promise', () => {
  expect(object()).to.have.property('attr1', 'val1');
  expect(object()).to.have.property('attr2', 'val2');
});

Example 2:

const Promise = require('bluebird');

const createUserAsync = function() {
  //Go to db, create an user and return a promise for it
};

const doSomethingAsyncWithUser(user) {
  // This function expects an user instance (not a promise) 
  // does something with the user and returns a promise for 
  // the result
}

const d = require('mocha-dot-helpers');
const user = d.val(() => createUserAsync());
const result = d.val(() => doSomethingAsyncWithUser(user()));

it('do the right thing with user', () => {
  // expect(result())...
});
