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 🙏

Pubby Subby

Pubby subby is an implementation of the JavaScript pub/sub model.

But what is Pub/Sub?

Pub/Sub (short for publish / subscribe) is a model which is really useful for modular JavaScript, which implies the division of the code into smaller units, or modules, which makes everything more manageable.

It consists in the creation of a global object which keeps track of a list of "events" (or topics, as pubby-subby calls them) and "handlers" (or actions, as pubby-subby calls them), and lets other parts of the app "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" from them. This particoular implementation has a really simple API, whith few, sufficient and easy-to-use features.

Getting started

First of all, you'll want to create an instance of the pubby-subby class:

import PubSub from 'pubby-subby'

let pubsub = new PubSub()

At this point, we can start listening for events:

function doStuff() {
	console.log('I did stuff')
}

pubsub.register('doStuff', doStuff)

And trigger them, too:

pubsub.dispatch('doStoff') // => 'I did stuff!'

We can register multiple actions at a time:

function doMoreStuff() {
	console.log('I did more stuff!')
}

pubsub.register('doStuff', doMoreStuff)

pubsub.dispatch('doStuff') // => 'I did stuff!', 'I did more stuff'

When we no longer want to call an action when an event is dispatched:

pubsub.unregister('doStuff', doMoreStuff)

And we can also delete an entire topic:

pubsub.deleteTopic('doStuff')
