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

node-throttle

Node.js Transform stream that passes data through at n bytes per second

Build Status

This module offers a Throttle passthrough stream class, which allows you to write data to it and it will be passed through in n bytes per second. It can be useful for throttling HTTP uploads or to simulate reading from a file in real-time, etc.

Installation

$ npm install throttle

Example

Here's an example of throttling stdin at 1 byte per second and outputting the data to stdout:

var Throttle = require('throttle');

// create a "Throttle" instance that reads at 1 bps
var throttle = new Throttle(1);

process.stdin.pipe(throttle).pipe(process.stdout);

We can see it in action with the echo command:

API

Throttle()

The Throttle passthrough stream class is very similar to the node core stream.Passthrough stream, except that you specify a bps "bytes per second" option and data will not be passed through faster than the byte value you specify.

You can invoke with just a bps Number and get the rest of the default options. This should be more common:

process.stdin.pipe(new Throttle(100 * 1024)).pipe(process.stdout);

Or you can pass an options Object in, with a bps value specified along with other options:

var t = new Throttle({ bps: 100 * 1024, chunkSize: 100, highWaterMark: 500 });
