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

reconnect

Reconnect a stream (tcp, ws, tls, http) when network goes down.

Status: LEGACY, use reconnect-core

This module should now be considered legacy, it is recommend to use reconnect-core directly. This module is now only a bundle of wrappers around reconnect-core.

Currently supports:

Example

Pass a function that will be called every time the stream connects. if the connection is broken, reconnect will make a new connection and call this function again.

var reconnect = require('reconnect')

reconnect(function (stream) {
  //called every time the connection is remade.
  //only one connection will ever be live at one time.
}).connect(port)

WebSockets

websockets can be used from both the client and the server, with the same code!

var reconnect = require('reconnect/shoe')

reconnect(function (stream) {
  //called every time the connection is remade.
  //only one connection will ever be live at one time.
}).connect('http://localhost:8080/ws')

a shoe server must be used.

API

reconnect (opts, onConnect)

if opts is an object it will be passed to backoff which handles throttling the reconnection attempts. it also accepts a type parameter, which may be either 'fibonacci' or 'exponential'.

//example opts
var opts = {
  randomisationFactor: 0,
  initialDelay: 10,
  maxDelay: 300
}

opts is optional. If opts.immediate is true then we will treat the stream as if it does not emit a "connect" event and fall back to listening to the first piece of data. This is useful for non connection streams like database cursors or tailing files.

passing onConnect to reconnect is short hand for reconnect(opts).on('connect', onConnect)

reconnect.connect (...)

attempt to connect. the arguments will be passed onto the underlying stream type. (either you are calling shoe(uri) or net.connect(port)) these arguments will be used for every subsequent connection attempt.

emit('connect', stream)

emitted when a new connection is made (that includes after a disconnection!)

emit('disconnect', stream)

emitted when the stream has disconnected.

emit ('backoff', attempts, delay)

reemitted from backoff when reconnect is waiting for the next time to connect.

emit ('reconnect', attempts, delay)

emitted when attempting a new connection.

reconnector.reconnect

set to false and reconnect will not automatically reconnect. starts out true.

Extending

Use reconnect-core instead.

Widget

The reconnect widget has been moved into a separate module reconnect-widget
