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

This is a fork of anton-rudeshko/node-throw. If you are familiar with the original project, see Fork Changes below.

throw2

MIT

You can't use throw statement in expressions in JavaScript:

arg = arg || throw new Error('arg is required');
//           ^^^^^
// Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'throw'

This tiny library is wrapping throw in a function:

// Use capital T to distinguish this module from the throw keyword
const Throw = require('throw2');

// ...

arg = arg || Throw('arg is required');

This is particularly useful when using nullish coalescing operator and optional chaining operator:

value = obj?.nested?.value ?? Throw('value not found');

Installation

npm i throw2

Require/Import

CommonJS:

const Throw = require('throw2');

ESM:

import Throw from 'throw2';

More Usage Options

You can compose dynamic error messages by providing multiple arguments:

typeof arg === 'string' || Throw('Invalid arg. Received:', arg, 'Should be string.');

You can also use your own error types:

/*...expression...*/ || Throw(new MyCustomError(arg1, arg2));

// Or

/*...expression...*/ || Throw(MyCustomError, arg1, arg2); // Creates a MyCustomError with arg1 and arg2

Note

Throw as an expression is currently a Stage 2 TC39 proposal, so this package might no longer be necessary in the future.

Fork Changes

The main difference is that node-throw uses Node.js API, so it doesn't work in the browser without a polyfill. throw2 works in any CommonJS environment. (e.g. noje.js and webpack)

Also, printf-like message formatting is not supported by throw2. Use template literals instead; or pass multiple arguments to the function. (see usage examples)
