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 🙏

Tarant is a TypeScript/JavaScript library for building software using the actor system model. You can visit the home page for more information and a more complete quick start guide: https://tarant.js.org/

  • Actors are easy to reason about: An actor is the unit of state and logic of your application. They are transactional, so you don't need to handle state rollbacks in case of errors.
  • Actors improve performance: Asynchronous by default, every actor actual communication is non-blocking so slow actors will not block fast actors.
  • Actors are extensible: As actors are built on top of objects, actor classes can be inherited, composed and injected.

Features

Tarant implements a rich set of features that makes it suitable for building complex applications.

  • Actors are reliable because they are transactional. You don't need to bother yourself with error recovery.
  • Actors are performant, as they are pull-based and decoupled from other actors lifecycle.
  • Actors are easy to debug. All messages come with information about the sender and all the state information is saved in a time machine, for further debugging and navigation.
  • The Actor System has an event bus. Actors can subscribe, publish and request messages from any topic and subscriptions can be handled at any time.
  • The Actor System is highly extensive. You can add your own supervisor and materializers to add new features like implicit persistence or rendering of actors.

Showcase

Quick start

Creating your first actor system is easy and you don't need to understand everything that is happening under the hood. First you must install the package:

npm install tarant --save

Then create your first ActorSystem

let { Actor, ActorSystem } = require('tarant')
let system = ActorSystem.default()

And create your actor class:

class Ping extends Actor {
    ping() {
        console.log("PING")
    }
}

Then you only need to instantiate your actor and send messages to it:

let myPinger = system.actorOf(Ping, [])
myPinger.ping()

The application will continue running and processing messages until you stop the actor system:

system.free()

If you run the application you will see the following output:

PING
