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 🙏

Run~time~Cache

RunCache is a dependency-free, lightweight runtime caching library for JavaScript and TypeScript that allows you to cache string values with optional time-to-live (TTL) settings. It also supports caching values generated from sync/async functions and provide methods to refetch them on expiry or on demand; with a set of events to keep track of the state of the cache.

Features

  • Dependency-free: Does not consume any external dependencies.
  • In-memory caching: A runtime cache that gives you quick access.
  • Sync/async source functions: Fetch dynamic data from user-defined functions.
  • Events: Get to know when cache expires, refetched or refetch fails.
  • Intuitive SDK: Clean interface to access data.

Installation

To use RunCache, simply install it via npm:

npm install run-cache

Usage

Import library

import { RunCache } from "run-cache";

Set cache

// Set a cache value
await RunCache.set({
  key: "Key",
  value: "Value",
});

// Set a cache value with 60s ttl
await RunCache.set({
  key: "Key",
  value: "Value",
  ttl: 60000 // in milliseconds
});

// Set a cache value with function to fetch the value later
await RunCache.set({
  key: "Key",
  sourceFn: () => { return Promise.resolve("Value") }
});

/*
  Additionally, set autoRefetch: true along with a ttl value
  to enable automatic refetching. This will cause the cache
  to refetch the value upon expiry whenever the consumer
  calls `get` on the specified key.
*/
await RunCache.set({
  key: "Key",
  sourceFn: () => { return Promise.resolve("Value") }
  autoRefetch: true,
  ttl: 10000,
});

/*
  Use a callback function to get to know when your cache expires
  or when its being refetched. The expiry is triggered only
  on demand, not automatically.
*/
import { EventParam } from "run-cache";

// Event of all expiries
RunCache.onExpiry((cache: EventParam) => {
  console.log(`Cache of key '${cache.key}' has been expired`);
})

// Event of a specific key expiry
RunCache.onKeyExpiry('Key', (cache: EventParam) => {
  console.log(`Specific key has been expired`);
})

await RunCache.set({
  key: "Key",
  ttl: 10000
})

// Event of any key refetches
RunCache.onRefetch((cache: EventParam) => {
  console.log(`Cache of key '${cache.key}' has been refetched`);
})

// Event of a specific key refetch
RunCache.onKeyRefetch('Key', (cache: EventParam) => {
  console.log(`Specific key has been refetched`);
})

// Event of a key refetch failure
RunCache.onRefetchFailure((cache: EventParam) => {
  console.log(`Cache of key '${cache.key}' has been refetched`);
})

// Event of a specific key refetch failure
RunCache.onKeyRefetchFailure('Key', (cache: EventParam) => {
  console.log(`Specific key has been failed to refetch`);
})

await RunCache.set({
  key: "Key",
  ttl: 10000,
  sourceFn: () => { return Promise.resolve("Value") }
})

Refetch cache

// Refetch the cache value (Only works if the key is set with a sourceFn)
await RunCache.refetch("Key");

Get cache

/* 
  Get a value for a given cache key, will refetch value automatically
  if `sourceFn` is provided and `autoRefetch: true` 
*/
const value = await RunCache.get("Key");

Delete cache

// Delete a specific cache key
RunCache.delete("Key");

// Delete all cache keys
RunCache.flush();

Check the existence of a specific cache

// Returns a boolean, expired cache returns `false` even if they're refetchable
const hasCache = RunCache.has("Key");

Clear event listeners

// Clear all listeners
RunCache.clearEventListeners();

// Clear specific event listeners
RunCache.clearEventListeners({
  event: "expiry",
});

// Clear specific event key listeners
RunCache.clearEventListeners({
  event: "expiry",
  key: "Key",
});
