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 🙏

Write Raycast Extensions with Effect!

Readme

Raycast Effect

This library allows you to create Raycast Extensions using Effect.

Getting Started

  1. Follow the "Create your first extension" guide
  2. Convert to a module (because I don't know how to properly package Typescript packages, plz help).
    • Add "type": "module", to your package.json
    • Change module to node16 in tsconfig.json
    • Add "moduleResolution": "node16", in tsconfig.json
  3. Create a ./src/lib/Runtime.ts file:
    import { NodeContext, NodeHttpClient } from "@effect/platform-node";
    import { Layer, ManagedRuntime } from "effect";
    import Raycast from "raycast-effect";
    
    // Compose your runtime here by adding services with Layer.merge
    export const Runtime = ManagedRuntime.make(
      pipe(Raycast.layer, Layer.merge(NodeContext.layer), Layer.merge(NodeHttpClient.layer)),
    );
    
    export const effectCommand = Raycast.command(Runtime);
    export const effectView = Raycast.view(Runtime);
    export const useEffectFn = Raycast.use(Runtime);

Creating Views

import { Effect } from 'effect'
import { effectView, useEffectFn } from './lib/Runtime.js'
import { LaunchProps, Arguments, Detail } from '@raycast/api'

export default effectView(
  Effect.fn(
    function* (params: LaunchProps<{ arguments: Arguments.ViewCommand }>) {
      // define a callback
      const callback = useEffectFn(
        Effect.fn(function* (/* define some arguments */) {
          // do some stuff
        },
          // Catch callback errors here with Effect.catchTag
        )
      )

      // return a view here
      return <Detail />
    },
    // Catch errors here with Effect.catchTag
  )
)

Creating Commands

import { Toast } from "@raycast/api";
import { effectCommand } from "./lib/Runtime.js";
import { Effect } from "effect";
import Raycast from "raycast-effect";

export default effectCommand(
  Effect.fn(
    function* () {
      const now = new Date();
      yield* Raycast.Clipboard.copy(now.toLocaleDateString());
      yield* Raycast.Feedback.showHUD("Copied date to clipboard");
    },
    Effect.catchTag("@raycast/ClipboardError", (e) =>
      Raycast.Feedback.showToast({
        title: "Something went wrong...",
        message: e.message,
        style: Toast.Style.Failure,
      }),
    ),
  ),
);
