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 🙏

Splits strings into an array of keys used for reading nested data structures

split-keypath is a method that takes a string as an input and generates an array of keys that can be used for reading values from a deeply nested object. The algorithm supports extracting array keys, which is how you can specify arbitrary keys. Please see below for examples.

Install

$ npm install split-keypath

The npm package has a bundle for the browser

Examples

import splitKeypath from "split-keypath";
var result = splitKeypath("hello.world");
// Result is ["hello", "world"]
import splitKeypath from "split-keypath";
var result = splitKeypath("hello[0].world[some really long string. with non ascii chars.]");
// Result is ["hello", "0", "world", "some really long string. with non ascii chars."];

Practical use that reads a value from a somewhat deeply nested object hierarchy

import splitKeypath from "split-keypath";

function readDeepValue(input, keypath) {
  return splitKeypath(keypath).reduce((nested, key) => nested[key], input);
}

var input = {
  some: {
    deep: [
      {
        key: 42
      }
    ]
  }
};

var result = readDeepValue(input, "some.deep[0].key");
// Result is 42
