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

slim-fetchy 🚀

Enhanced fetch API.

https://github.com/justsml/slim-fetchy.git

  • ✔ Simple HTTP request
  • ✔ Small
  • ✔ Encode POST Body
  • ✔ Response parser
  • ✔ Smarter error handling

Why?

I was listening to Slim Shady EP. And all the other names were taken.

Install

# Add to your project:
npm install slim-fetchy --save

# Optionally, clone Code:
git clone https://github.com/justsml/slim-fetchy.git
cd slim-fetchy
npm install
npm test

Seriously, Why?

The current fetch API spec and the implementation from Github are ill-suited for the majority of use-cases.

Specifically, JSON-backed services require repetitive encoding and response parsing. Additionally, acquiring HTTP response body content requires 2 promise .then() calls. (Some Promise libraries, like bluebird will automatically handle this for you.)

I decided to create a wrapper to eliminate frequent hurdles & repetitive code.

slim-fetchy JSON optimized usage:

// Using slim-fetchy (optional: es6 destructuring)
fetch('/users.json')
  .then(({body}) => {
    document.body.innerHTML = body; // SINGLE `.then` - has access to headers, status & statusText
  })

Compared to current fetch API/spec:

// Using github's implementation
fetch('/users.json')
  .then(function(response) {
    return response.text()
  }).then(function(body) {
    document.body.innerHTML = body
  })

Stats & Support Info

  • Requires Promise support - native or polyfilled. Tested with Bluebird and es6-promise
