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 🙏

(Assasi)nator

The graceful shutdown handler for loop-based operating NodeJS apps.

Say what? E.g. a shutdown handler for apps that have a sequential execution flow loop (treadmill-like) as for example:

var doSomething = function() {
	// do something here
	doSomethingAgain();
}
var doSomethingAgain = function() {
	doSomething(); // again!
}

doSomething();

Usage

Given that your app is running on a treadmill (like the example above), all you need to do to handle graceful shutdowns (such that the last running loop will always finish up), is the following:

var Nator = require('nator');

var doSomething = function() {
	// do something here
	doSomethingAgain();
}
var doSomethingAgain = function() {
	doSomething(); // again!
}

var nator = new Nator.handler(doSomething);

nator.start();

Optionally, you may pass a custom shutdown function to the .start() that will execute upon receiving SIGINT, SIGHUP or SIGTERM signals. You will need to issue process.exit() on your own inside the shutdown function when doing so.
