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 🙏

Readme

What is this?

A library providing a parametrized random delay mechanism for functions (Both async and sync)

How do I install it?

You can install it by using the following command:

npm install random-delay

How do I use it?

Both sync and async functions are supported.
The library provides a randomDelay function that takes 3 parameters:

  • minDelay: The minimum delay in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
  • maxDelay: The maximum delay in milliseconds. Defaults to 1000.
  • method: The method to use. Can be either sync or async. Defaults to sync.

Sync

The library uses the event-loop-sleep library to sleep the event loop using SharedArrayBuffer and Atomics for sync functions.

const { randomDelay } = require('random-delay');

// Do something before...
randomDelay(1000, 2000, 'sync');
// Do something after...

Async

The library uses a simple setTimeout (unrefed) for async functions.

const { randomDelay } = require('random-delay');

// Do something before...
await randomDelay(1000, 2000, 'async');
// Do something after...

randomDelayed

The library also provides a randomDelayed, a higher-order function that takes 2 parameters:

  • fn: The function to wrap.
  • options: The options to pass to randomDelay. Defaults to the same as randomDelay.
const { randomDelayed } = require('random-delay');

// Do something before...
await randomDelayed(() => {
  // Do something
}, { minDelay: 1000, maxDelay: 2000, method: 'async' });
// Do something after...

Tests

You can run the tests by using the following command:

npm test
