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 🙏

  console.log('new item:', item.title);
});

news.emit('item', { title: 'hello there' });
news.emit('item', { title: 'hello world' });

news.emit('item', { title: 'hey' });
news.emit('item', { title: 'hey' });

API

new NewsEmitter([options])

Creates an instance of a NewsEmitter. options can be

  • filter - An array of events that will be affected. If not given, event names will not be filtered.
  • ignore - An array of events that will be ignored. Defaults to ['newListener', 'removeListener'].
  • maxHistory - Maximum number of history items to remember. Default is 10.
  • manageHistory - If true, does not add emitted events to history. Instead expects you to manually manage history with addHistory(). Defaults to false.
  • identifier - Function used to compare one event to another. Called with a list of arguments that NewsEmitter#emit() is called with, sans event name. Should return a string. Default is JSON.stringify.

NewsEmitter#emit(event)

Emits an event, only if it has not been emitted before. Returns true if item is new and emtted. False otherwise.

NewsEmitter#reset([event])

Resets history of an event. If no event given, resets all history.

Adds items in arr as event's history. Truncated as necessary based on max history length considering the last item in the array as newest.
