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 🙏

A graceful way to shutdown / handle PRocess EXIT - way better than other *rexits

import prexit from 'prexit'

prexit((signal, [err]) => {
  // Do cleanup before shutdown
  // Return a promise to delay exit
  // set prexit.code to exit with non 0
  // eg prexit.code = 1
})

Here's a sample for shutting down an http server and database. First we stop the http server from accepting any new connections. Then we gracefully close the database connection to allow any pending queries to resolve.

prexit(async () => {
  await new Promise(r => server.close(r))
  await db.end({ timeout: 5 })
})

Prexit is a simple function that takes a callback. This will be called with the signal and exit code / error on the following process events.

exit | beforeExit | uncaughtException | unhandledRejection | SIGTSTP | SIGQUIT | SIGHUP | SIGTERM | SIGINT

You can call prexit as many times as you'd like so you can do cleanup in the relevant places in your code. Prexit will await all promises that callbacks returns, and will ensure they are only called once. After all the promises are settled prexit will call prexit.ondone() which defaults to calling process.exit(prexit.code).

If you need to do synchronous cleanup after any async cleanup and right before prexit.ondone is called, you can use prexit.last(fn)

prexit.last(() => {
  // This will run after any async handlers right 
  // before exit, meaning only sync cleanup
  // eg. (kill child processes)
})

You can also supply optional events to listen for as the first argument of prexit.

prexit('uncaughtException', (signal, err) => /* uncaughtException */ )
prexit(['SIGHUP', 'SIGTERM'], (signal, err) => /* SIGHUP | SIGTERM */ )
