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 🙏

Property Accessors Mixin Build Status

A mixin for defining dynamic properties.

Basic Usage

To define a basic property accessor, use the accessor declaration. If you've included the mixin into a class, you define a prototype property by calling @::accessor on its prototype.

PropertyAccessors = require 'property-accessors'

class Vehicle
  PropertyAccessors.includeInto(this)

  @::accessor 'type',
    get: ->
      switch @doorCount
        when 4 then 'sedan' # i know this isn't strictly accurate
        when 2 then 'coupe'
    set: (type) ->
      switch type
        when 'sedan' then @doorCount = 4
        when 'coupe' then @doorCount = 2

car = new Vehicle
car.doorCount = 2
car.type # => 'coupe'

You can define a class-level property by extending with the mixin rather than including it (which extends the prototype).

class Vehicle
  PropertyAccessors.extend(this)

  @accessor 'vehicleCount', get: -> @allVehicles.length  

You can just pass a single function if you only want to define a getter:

class Vehicle
  PropertyAccessors.includeInto(this)

  @::accessor 'type', -> # ...

Fancy Usage

Lazy Accessors

Lazy accessors call a function the first time a property is accessed. You are still free to overwrite this value by assigning the property explicitly.

class ScienceLab
  PropertyAccessors.includeInto(this)

  @::lazyAccessor 'crazyComputation', -> computeCrazyComputation()

Advised Accessors

Advised accessors allow you to call code before the reading or writing of a property value. If a property is being assigned, your advice function is called with the value being assigned and the old value.

class SpyStation
  @advisedAccessor 'online',
    get: -> @ensureAllSystemsNominal()
    set: -> @ensureUserIsSpy()

station = new SpyStation
station.online = true # ensures user is a spy, then assigns true
station.online # ensures all systems are nominal, then returns true
