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

msg-fabric-core

msg-fabric-core is a uniform messaging API for writing distributed (network) actors.

In a browser environment, use msg-fabric-core to communicate in the main context, an IFrame, a Web Worker, over an RTCDataChannel, or over a WebSocket.

In a NodeJS environment, communciate over TCP, TLS, duplex Streams, WebSockets, or use a plugin to bridge over NATS or MQTT.

Sent packets are synchronously cloned, thereby preventing accidental mutation. Furthermore, packets are only encoded to bytes when needed to transmit across a stream-oriented connection — WebSocket, RTCDataChannel, TCP/TLS, or similar stream.

A collection of ES6 modules are published for both NodeJS and Web platforms, as well as all the core plugins, to allow crafting a build including only is required to solve the problem at hand.

Examples

import MsgFabric from 'msg-fabric-core' 
const hub = MsgFabric.create()
Add a Target
const tgt_addr = hub.local.addTarget(null, pkt => {
  console.log('pkt target received pkt:', pkt)

  if (pkt.body.id_reply) {
    console.log('replying to:', pkt.body.id_reply)
    hub.send( pkt.body.id_reply, { ts: new Date, echo: pkt.body })
  }
})
Send a message and await a reply
const reply = hub.local.addOnce()
hub.send(tgt_addr,
  { msg: 'hello readme example with reply',
    id_reply: reply.id
  })

let ans = await reply.promise
console.log('Received reply', ans)
