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 🙏

redux-thunk-actions

Easily create action creators for redux with redux-thunk.

Rationale

With redux-actions you can do:

let increment = createAction('INCREMENT');
expect(increment(42)).to.deep.equal({
  type: 'INCREMENT',
  payload: 42
});

With redux-thunk you can do:

function myFetch() {
  // instead of an object, you can return a function
  return (dispatch) => {
    dispatch({type: 'MY_FETCH_START'});
    try {
      //we can do async and then dispatch more stuff
      await api.fetch();
    }
    catch(e) {
      return dispatch({type: 'MY_FETCH_FAIL', error: e});
    }
    dispatch({type: 'MY_FETCH_END'});
  }
}
dispatch(myFetch());

With redux-thunk-actions, you can do:

let myFetch = createActionThunk('MY_FETCH', () => api.fetch());

This will generate two of three possible actions:

  • MY_FETCH_STARTED
  • MY_FETCH_SUCCEEDED
  • MY_FETCH_FAILED
  • MY_FETCH_ENDED

You can pass both sync and async functions and the actions will be dispatched accordingly.

Installation

npm install --save redux-thunk-actions

Usage

import { createActionThunk } from 'redux-thunk-actions';

non-async

With non async functions, it will dispatch start/fail/end actions anyway.

reducer.js

case 'FETCH_SUCCEEDED':
  return Object.assign({}, state, {
    data: action.payload
  });

You can dispatch as usual:

let fetch = createActionThunk('FETCH', () => 3);
dispatch(fetch());
assert.equal(store.getState().data, 3);

async

let fetch = createActionThunk('FETCH', myAsyncFunc);
// you can try/catch dispatch.
let data = await dispatch(fetch());

With promises:

let fetch = createActionThunk('FETCH', myAsyncFunc);
dispatch(fetch()).then(
  data => {
    console.log(data)
    //state is already updated!
    assert.equal(store.getState().data, data);
  },
  error => console.log(error)
);

Errors

reducer.js

//...
    case 'FETCH_FAILED':
      return Object.assign({}, state, {
        started: false,
        error: action.error
      });

then if the action throws it fails:

    let fetch = createActionThunk('FETCH', () => {
      throw new Error('boom!');
    });
    try {
      //if action is async, you can use await here!
      dispatch(fetch());
    }
    catch(e) {
      assert.equal(e.message, 'boom!');
      assert.equal(getState().error, true);
    }

if you want to suppress throwing exceptions and instead handle errors 100% in the reducers, pass true as the 3rd argument

const action = createActionThunk('FETCH', () => 3, true)

Metadata

Sometimes you want to send metada with your actions

To do so just return an object with payload and meta. This properties will be used to generate those values:

let fetch = createActionThunk('FETCH', () => ({payload: 3, meta: 4}));
dispatch(fetch());
// will dispatch: 
// {type: FETCH_START});
// {type: FETCH_SUCCEEDED, payload: 3, meta: 4});
// {type: FETCH_ENDED, payload: elapsed: 1});
