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 🙏

npm package minified + gzipped size Build Status Coverage Status Open Issues

Native JavaScript Array, but extended with custom indexing and group support for super-fast lookups.

Installation

yarn add slick-array

Simple Example

import { SlickArray } from 'slick-array'

// create an array
const items = new SlickArray({ by: ['id', 'name'] })

items.push(
  { id: 1, name: 'foo' },
  { id: 2, name: 'bar' },
  { id: 6, name: 'baz' },
)

// normal array functionality
items.map(i => i.name)              // ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']

// fancy new features
items.by.id[2] // { id: 2, name: 'bar' }
items.by.name.foo // { id: 1, name: 'foo' }

Features

  • Creates indexes and groups upon extry/exit
  • Cast items with a class/function
  • Low memory overhead
  • Small, with zero dependencies ~830 bytes gzipped
  • Interchangeable with built-in Array*
  • CAVEAT: in order to preserve indexes/groups, use push/pop/shift/unshift/splice to add/remove/replace items, rather than direct setting of elements (e.g. don't do this: items[1] = 'something new')

** PERFORMANCE: For situations where utmost performance is required and lookups are infrequent, use a native Array. It's much faster!

Options API

new SlickArray(...args?, options = {})

| Name | Type(s) | Description | Examples | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | as | class, function | casts items as class|function on entry | as: Kittenas: i => ({ ...i }) | | by | String, Array, Object | create indexes | by: 'id'by: ['id', 'name']by: { id: i => i.id } | | groups | String, Array, Object | create groups and/or subgroups | groups: 'isValid'groups: ['isValid']groups: { valid: i => !!i.isValid }groups: { valid: i => i.isValid ? 'yes' : 'no' } | | items | Array | preload items upon construction | items: [14, 15, 16]items: [{ id: 14 }, { id: 15 }] |

Advanced Example

import { SlickArray } from 'slick-array'

class Kitten {
  constructor(config = {}) {
    Object.assign(this, config)
  }

  talk() {
    return 'meow!'
  }
}

// create an array
const kittens = new SlickArray({
  as: Kitten, // cast items using this function/class
  by: {
    id: item => item.id,
    name: item => item.name,
  },
  groups: {
    // boolean "true" response into a shallow object
    thatStartWithF: item => Boolean(item.name.match(/^f/i)),
    // otherwise return is used as subgroup key (including undefined)
    startingWith: item => item.name[0],
  },
  items: [
    { id: 12, name: 'Fluffy' },
    { id: 15, name: 'Mittens' },
    { id: 3, name: 'Furious George' },
  ],
})

// yep, it's still an Array...
kittens.length // 3
kittens.map(i => i.id) // [12,15,3] - still iterates like a typical array

// access individual items via "by"
kittens.by.id[12] // Kitten { id: 12, name: 'Fluffy' }
kittens.by.name.Mittens // Kitten { id: 15, name: 'Mittens' }

// or access groups via "that"
kittens.thatStartWithF // [ Kitten { id: 12, name: 'Fluffy' }, Kitten { id: 3, name: 'Furious George' } ]
kittens.startingWith.F // [ Kitten { id: 12, name: 'Fluffy' }, Kitten { id: 3, name: 'Furious George' } ]
kittens.startingWith.M // [ Kitten { id: 15, name: 'Mittens' } ]

// you can keep adding items, and indexes will be added automatically
kittens.push({ id: 2, name: 'Ringo' })
kittens.length // 4
kittens.by.name.Ringo.talk() // 'meow!' - it's a Kitten after all
kittens.startingWith.R // [ Kitten { id: 2, name: 'Ringo' } ]
