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 🙏

redis reservations are like locks/mutexes except they can expire.

constructor(by, host, port, heartbeat_interval, lock_ttl, log, password)

Creates a new redis-reservation which includes setting up redis connection credentials.

Arguments
  • by - The worker name
  • host - Redis host to connect to
  • port - Redis port to connect to
  • heartbeat_interval - Renew the lock at every heartbeat_interval milliseconds
  • lock_ttl - Renew the lock for lock_ttl seconds
  • log - Log to use or else defaults to console.log
  • password - Password to authenticate with redis server
Example
ReserveResource = require 'redis-reservation'

reservation = new ReserveResource
  'worker-name',
  process.env.REDIS_HOST,
  process.env.REDIS_PORT,
  10 * 60 * 1000,           # 10 minutes
  30 * 60                   # 30 minutes
  # log,                     # defaults to console.log
  # password                # defaults to no password (empty string)

lock(resource, callback)

Attempts to lock the resource if it can.

Arguments
  • resource - The key to use to uniquely identify this lock
  • callback(err, lock_status) - lock_status is true if lock was acquired, false otherwise.
Example
reservation.lock job_name, (err, lock_status) ->
  return err if err?
  if lock_status
    do_job()
  else
    console.log 'Reservation already held'

wait_until_lock(resource, callback)

Waits until the lock can be acquired for the resource.

Arguments
  • resource - The key to use to uniquely identify this lock
  • callback(err, reserve_key) - callback is called only when the lock can be acquired. reserve_key is the name of the key in redis that was used to acquire the lock.
Example
reservation.wait_until_lock job_name, (err, reserve_key) ->
  return err if err?
  do_job()

release(callback)

Releases the lock.

Arguments
  • callback(err) - Callback to be called once the lock is released, or error.
Example
reservation.release (err) ->
  if err?
    console.log 'Could not release lock, maybe the reservation was already lost?'
  return err
