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 🙏

How It Works

Our multilayer cache shall work as follows. When an item is requested, first we'll go through the cache layers one by one to look for it. If the item is found in one of the layers, we'll write it back to the preceding layers, before returning it to the caller. If the item is not found in any of the caches, we'll call the fetch function to fetch the item from its origin.

This tool helps you construct a multilayer cache by implementing the above behavior. In addition, it will dedupe promises so that concurrent requests for the same item won't trigger redundant cache look-ups or fetches. What you need to do is provide the implementation for the fetch function and for each of the caches. Your implementations need not worry at all about concurrency.

fetch<K, V>: (key: K) => Promise<V>

interface Cache<V> {
  get: (hashKey: string) => Promise<V>
  set: (hashKey: string, value: V) => Promise<void>
}

Usage

import { Fetch } from "multilayer-async-cache-builder"

const fetchItem = /* define your fetch function */
const cache1 = /* define your 1st cache layer */
const cache2 = /* define your 2nd cache layer */

const getItem = new Fetch(fetchItem)
  .cache(cache2)
  .cache(cache1)
  .dedupe()

//use it
getItem("item-id")
  .then(...)

Example

For a basic example, see simple-cache

Transformer Cache

A transformer cache can return a different value to preceding layers than the one it received from subsequent layers.

interface CacheX<V, Out> {
  get: (hashKey: string) => Promise<Out>
  set: (hashKey: string, value: V) => Promise<Out>
}

Note that the set method for a transformer cache must also return the transformed value.
