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 🙏

statman-meter Build Status on npm

statman-meter is one of the metrics from the statman library. Loosely based upon codahale metric package, a meter provides count and average information over a period of time.

This can be used to instrument call that may be expensive:

  • incoming web service calls
  • outbound calls to a subsystem
  • expensive algorithms

Install it!

Option 1: access directly

Install using npm:

npm install statman-meter

Reference in your app:

var Meter = require('statman-meter');
var meter = Meter('meter-name');

Option 2: access from statman

Install using npm:

npm install statman

Reference in your app:

var statman = require('statman');
var meter = statman.Meter('meter-name');

Use it!

Option 1: init, record values, read

var meter = new Meter('webservice-calls');
meter.record(2000); //record that a call occurred for 2000 milliseconds
meter.record(4000); //record that a call occurred for 4000 milliseconds
meter.count();      //reports that there have been 2 calls 
meter.getAverage(); //reports that the average call is taking 3000 milliseconds

Option 2: init, record stopwatch, read

var meter = new Meter('webservice-calls');
var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.start();
..
stopwatch.stop();
meter.record(stopwatch); //record that a call occurred and gets value from stopwatch.read()
meter.count();      //reports number of calls
meter.getAverage(); //reports the average timing of the calls

For more info on stopwatch, see (statman-stopwatch)[https://github.com/jasonray/statman-stopwatch]

Option 3: init, start event, stop event

var meter = new Meter('webservice-calls');
var event = meter.startEvent();
..
var event = stop();
meter.count()       //reports number of calls
meter.getAverage(); //reports the average timing of the calls

Build it!
