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

Mutex Guard

Mutex Guard is a simple yet robust mutex implementation in TypeScript for managing critical sections and synchronizing access to shared resources in Node.js applications.

Features

  • Lightweight Implementation: Mutex Guard doesn't rely on external packages like Redis for atomic locking, keeping it lightweight and dependency-free.
  • Native Event Emitter: Implemented using the native Node.js event emitter module, providing an efficient event-based mechanism for queuing and processing lock requests, thus preventing resource contention.
  • Efficient Waiting Mechanism: Ensures that every request waiting for lock access to a resource is handled efficiently, ensuring optimal resource utilization.

Installation

You can install MutexGuard via npm:

npm install mutex-guard

Usage

In this example, we spawn three asynchronous login jobs, but we aim to call the login function only once. By utilizing the locking mechanism, we guarantee that the login function is invoked only once.

import MutexGuard from "mutex-guard";
import { setTimeout } from "timers/promises";

let isLoggedIn = false;

async function main() {
    let mutexGuard = new MutexGuard();
    let pendingPromises = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        pendingPromises.push(login(mutexGuard));
    }

    await Promise.all(pendingPromises);
}

async function login(mutexGuard: MutexGuard) {
    await mutexGuard.lock();

    if (isLoggedIn) {
        console.log("Already logged in.");
    } else {
        console.log("Logging ...");
        await setTimeout(3000);
        isLoggedIn = true;
        console.log("Logged in.");
    }

    mutexGuard.unlock();
}

main();

Output:

Logging ...
Logged in.
Already logged in.
Already logged in.
