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 🙏

observable-mongo

Functions that provide some 'node mongodb driver APIs' as Observables.

To run the tests it is required to have a working instance of Mongo to connect to. The default is to have a local mongo installed at port 27017 as specified in the default "config.ts" file in the "src" folder.

In case you want to run the tests on other mongo instances, change "config.ts" and run the command "npm run tsc" to rigenerate the "dist" directory with the configuration information

examples

For use cases that see different asyncrhonous elements interacting, using the Observable pattern can simplify and clarify the code.

A simple use case can be the following:

  • you need to read from a Mongo collection a list of authors
  • for each author you need to query a REST API to fetch the titles on the author
  • than you need to write the titles in a file with the author name

In this case you need to interact with Mongo, http requests and the Node fs library, which all offer asynchrnous APIs. If these APIs offer also an Observable version, that the code of the example can be written as a single stream, leading to a more readable code (personal opinion).

The example in the repo represents this use case using observable-http-request and observable-fs, which are companion libraries of observable-mongo.
