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 🙏

An experimental private property handler for JS

Readme

## Welcome to psyc! ✨

We all know that JS does not support private properties yet, but can simulate their behaviour in a variety of ways.

This package is meant to do that by using Symbols. That way we can achieve some kind of private property, with setter and getter methods for our classes. 👻

### How can I use the package? 🛠

Here's the magic! Just install the package with npm like this:

npm i psyc

That's all! You can now import the package and test it our with some classes. Here's a full example:

import { addPrivate } from 'psyc';

class Animal {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
}

const animal = new Animal('dog');

// Create the new private property by using the addPrivate function
// and assing it to a variable
const _legs = addPrivate(animal, 'legs', 4);

// Will access the private property
console.log(animal[_legs]);

// Won't access the private propery
console.log(animal._legs);

// Won't work even when creating a new Symbol with the same base string
const _newLegs = Symbol('legs');
console.log(animal[_newLegs]);

// This is the way to break through the Symbol property
const _privateLegs = Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(animal)[0];
console.log(animal[_privateLegs])

// A getPrivate method is added to the class when calling the addPrivate function
console.log(animal.getPrivate(_legs));

// A setPrivate method is added too, so we can change the property
animal.setPrivate(_legs, 10);
console.log(animal.getPrivate(_legs));

As easy and simple as shown! 🔝

Just remember! The class will have a private like property, both a getPrivate and a setPrivate method for accessing or setting the values if needed!
