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 🙏

Subscribe/publish pattern implementation

My implementation of subscribe/publish pattern written in JavaScript.

How to use

If object is supposed to use subscribe/publish it has to extends (it needs to have Observable methods in its prototype chain) Observable class. Example:

const Observable = require('publish-subscribe-lc');

class Outer extends Observable {

}

Instance of Observable can subscribe to events published by other objects which are instances of Observable. Those objects needs to be fields of Outer object:

const Observable = require('publish-subscribe-lc');

class Outer extends Observable {
    constructor () {
        super();

        this.inner = new Inner();
        this.inner.subscribe('test', function (data) {
            console.log(data.text);
        });
    }
}
class Inner extends Observable {
    constructor () {
        super();
        this.timeout = setTimeout(function () {
            this.publish('test', {
                text: 'test'
            });u
        }.bind(this), 500);
    }
}

const outer = new Outer();

Expected output:

test

#API

  • Observable.prototype.subscribe(event: string, callback: function) - Object A (instance of Observable) will now watch on InnerObject (instance of Observable) publishing event. Whenever event is published by InnerObject, callback is called (with this value pointing to Object A)

  • Observable.prototype.subscribeOnce(event: string, callback: function) - Works exactly as method InnerObject.prototype.subscribe, with difference that Object A will now listen only once for specified event. Further publishing event by InnerObject will not trigger specified callback function

  • Observable.prototype.unsubscribe(event: string) - Removes Object A (which is listening on InnerObject on publishing event) from InnerObject subscribers set. If event is specified, only Object A listening for event will be removed from InnerObject subscribers set. If event is evaluated to false, all members of subscribers set with Object A subscriber will be removed

  • Observable.prototype.publish(event: string, data: Object|any) - Publishes event with specified data Object. If no data is specified, empty object is passed
