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 🙏

stream-selector

A stream which lets you choose where to send the data based on the first chunk received

Installation

npm i --save stream-selector
or
yarn add stream-selector

Usage

var StreamSelector = require('stream-selector');

// create / get destination streams
someStream = createSomeStream();
someOtherStream = createSomeOtherStream();
someDefaultStream = createSomeDefaultStream();

function selectStream (firstChunk) {
  switch (firstChunk[0]) {
    case 0x00:
      return someStream;
    case 0x42:
      return someOtherStream;
    default:
      return someDefaultStream;
  }
}

// create selector stream
var selector = new StreamSelector(selectStream);

// when data is written tyo selector, it will use selectStream() to decide where the data should go
process.stdin.pipe(selector);

API

new StreamSelector([options]) => StreamSelector

Create a new writable stream which will select a sub-stream to pipe all of the data to. If you pass your selector method as the first parameter then options will be initialized with that value.

The result stream is a passthrough stream, however it will not write any data unless the stream selected is also readable.

  • options (Object):
    • selector: (function (chunk, encoding, callback) The method to use to choose which stream to use. You can either return the stream directly or use the callback. Note that if you return nothing, you must use the callback else the stream will infinitely hang. The data will be buffered until the decision is made.
    • minBuffer: (optional Integer) The number of bytes to read in before bothering to call the selector funciton. This is useful if you need a larger header of your data before a decision can be made. The data will be buffered until the decision is made.
