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 🙏

Readme

Simple Map Cache

This module a very simple key/value storage for node, so you can cache any operation, function or call results. The cache map persist after the module is reloaded (the map is stored in a JSON file)

This used to be part of my module simple-fetch-cache, but I decided to extract it and publish it on its own. It doesn't have any external dependencies and it uses the native Map object to track the entries.

Install

You can install with [npm]:

$ npm install --save simple-map-cache

Usage

Please look at the index.test.js file to check how the module can be used, but in a nutshell these are the methods available:

set, get, del, clear

| Parameter | Description | | ------------- |:-------------:| | set | Add new entry to the cache. ie set('day', 'friday') | | get | Retrieves entry from the cache. get('day') // returns friday. undefined for the non existing values. | | del | Removes entry from the cache | | clear | Wipes out all the entries from the cache |

Time to live (TTL)

All the requests cached in memory will persist there as long as the process in running. Nevertheless if you require the cache to expire after X miliseconds, you can pass it as a second parameter. ie:

// It will disappear after 100 msec.
> const cache = require('simple-map-cache')
> cache.set('testephimeral', 'shouldberemovedsoon', 100)
