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-socket

An observable socket, no duh. Tested with ws and window.WebSocket.

observable-socket assumes Promise is available. If you're targeting an environment that does not support native Promises, use babel-polyfill or something similar.

Usage

install it.

npm i observable-socket

import and use it.

const ObservableSocket = require('observable-socket')
const WS = require('ws')

/**
 * Create an echo socket by connecting to the echo socket provided by
 * websocket.org.
 */
const echoSocket = ObservableSocket.create(new WS('wss://echo.websocket.org'))

/**
 * Subscribing to `echoSocket` receives messages from the underlying
 * WebSocket.
 */
echoSocket.down.subscribe(
  function next (msg) {
    console.log(msg.data)
  },

  function error (e) {
    console.error('uh oh! ', e)
  },

  function complete () {
    console.warn('Socket has closed')
  }
)

/**
 * We can send messages too!
 */
echoSocket.up('hi!')
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.debug = lbl => msg => console.log(`${lbl}: ${msg}`) // debug however you like
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/rxjs/bundles/rxjs.umd.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/browser.min.js"></script>

<script>
    var socket = ObservableSocket.create(new WebSocket('wss://echo.websocket.org'))

    // Send messages up the socket
    socket.up('hello')

    // Receive messages down the socket
    socket.down.subscribe(
        msg => console.log(msg.data),
        () => console.log('done'),
        err => console.error(err)
    )
</script>

API

This module exports a function that takes a WebSocket, and returns an object with two properties, up and down.

socket.up

up is a function to push messages up the socket. This will create a queue of messages that will not be sent until the socket is connected.

socket.down

down is an RxJS stream. You can subscribe to it.

Reconnecting...

observable-socket does not construct WebSockets, therefore there isn't a notion of "healing" a connection. Instead, when a socket drops, the complete of observable-socket is called, which can be leveraged into creating a new socket, and re-wrapping observable-socket around it. An example of how this can be done:

Bundles and packages and boxes and goodies...

There are a few different bundles in dist/:

  • browser
  • commonjs
  • esm
