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 🙏

service-worker-command-bridge

A utility library to facilitate communication between a Service Worker and web page client through Promises.

Why?

Service Worker communication is message-based, which makes it difficult to maintain a Promise-like flow when running a command inside the worker and parsing the result inside the web client.

How do I use it?

You should require the library in both your worker and client JS, like so:

In Service Worker

import { CommandListener } from "service-worker-command-bridge";

CommandListener.bind("test-command", (data) => {
    
    // You can return a value directly, or return a promise
    // and the bridge will return the resolved value to
    // the client.
    
    return data.startNumber * 10;
})

In client

import { runServiceWorkerCommand } from "service-worker-command-bridge";

runServiceWorkerCommand("test-command", {
    startNumber: 10
})
.then((endNumber) => {
    console.log(endNumber); // = 100
})

Upgrading from v1

Version 2.0 has a number of breaking changes you should be aware of:

  • It now uses ES6 modules, so your build system needs to be able to handle them. Rollup and the latest version of Webpack should work fine. Optimally your build system will also support tree-shaking, as both the client and worker sides are included in index.js.
  • On the worker side, you must now call CommandListener.listen() to start the bridge.
  • It has been rewritten in TypeScript, and emits definition files for you to use.
