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 🙏

rescript-nodejs

Node.js bindings for ReScript

npm

Requirements

Works on ReScript 10 or above. Supports uncurried mode in ReScript 11.

Installation

npm install rescript-nodejs

or

yarn add rescript-nodejs

Then add rescript-nodejs to bsconfig.json:

  "bs-dependencies": [
    "rescript-nodejs"
  ],

Goal of this library

Help all ReScript Node.js apps and libraries to be built faster by reducing the time spent on hand written bindings.

Non-Goals

  • Have 100% coverage of Node.js api surface - Due to lack of testing and time for maintenance, it should only have enough surface to cover all common use cases. But it should have enough coverage that developers only rarely have to write a custom binding.
  • PRs welcome if there's something you use a lot and think others will too.
  • This library should be as low-level as possible (i.e. zero-cost) to allow for minimal context switching between offical Node.js documentation and the ReScript equilvalent. Due to the dynamic nature of the JS API, bending it to be idiomatic ReScript will lead to a ton of bikeshedding in design as well as sacrificing maintainability.

Principles

  • When available, prefer binding to the promise version of the library instead of the callback version to reduce binding surface. Js.Promise2 is the new improved API.
  • Use subtyping only where the benefit is substantial. Subtyping is used for various APIs that implement Node Streams, such as HTTP Request and Response, FileSystem streams, Crypto streams, and etc. This provides a single set of functions to manipulate and combine streams across different modules. For example:

Stream a file into stdout:

open NodeJs

Fs.createReadStream("/path")
  ->Stream.pipe(Process.stdout(Process.process))
  ->Stream.onError(_ => Js.log("handleError"))

Echo server:

open NodeJs

Http.createServer((request, response) => {
  request->Stream.onData(data => Js.log(data))
  request->Stream.pipe(response)->ignore
});

Contributing

We welcome and encourage anyone to contribute! In order to minimize confusion and avoid any wasted effort, here are some recommendations:

  • If you notice a bug or a typo feel free to create an issue or submit a PR to fix it.
  • If you want to request a feature/improvement, it's best to create an issue first and start a discussion. Don't spend a lot of valuable time and energy creating a pull request when it might not fit in with the project goals. Your PR may still be merged if it isn't based on an issue but expect to have a discussion first.
  • If you notice gaps in the documentation and want to help fill them in, feel free to go straight to PR. Or create an issue and provide a draft of the docs you want to add.
  • If you have concerns about implementation style or design decisions (e.g. type soundness, complexity, ergonomics, edge cases, etc.), please submit an issue voicing your concerns. Critique from the community is welcome. This library is only useful so long as it works for everyone!
  • A changelog has finally been added, managed by changie. Please use this tool (available via yarn changie new) to add changelog entries.
