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

tiny-level-ttl

Build Status Dependency Status devDependency Status

Enforces a time to live (TTL) on a node-levelup database.

Why use this instead of node-level-ttl? Because level-sublevel and node-level-ttl conflict.

Bug reproduction test code here.
The bug was found using level-sublevel@6 with level-ttl@2, and level-sublevel@5 with level-ttl 0.6.

api

var ttl = require('tiny-level-ttl')

ttl(db[, opts])

Adds a refreshTtl method to the db. When db.refreshTtl(key) is called, it will refresh the ttl on the key. This adds the ability to make the ttl act like a session manager by calling refreshTtl() every time you do db.get().

Also, this respects the locks that level-lock creates. If tiny-level-ttl attempts to delete a key, and the key's write access is locked, it will restart the key's life. (In most cases, this is the desired outcome. If the key is being written to, you would've restarted the key's life anyway. If the key is being deleted, restarting its life will not mess anything up.)

  • db is a levelup database.
  • opts is an object with the following properties:
    • ttl is a number of milliseconds for how long a key lives in the db. Optional; defaults to 3600000, (1 hour).
    • checkInterval is a number of milliseconds for how long the interval between checking keys is. Optional; defaults to 10000, (10 seconds).
    • separator can be a string, buffer, or array of strings/buffers. These represent the separator used in the sub-database. For example, level-spaces by default has the separator ~, so if you store the key bar, in the space foo, the key will be ~foo~bar. Defaults to [ '~', '\xff', '\x00' ].

example

Basic usage:

var level = require('level-mem')
var ttl = require('tiny-level-ttl')

var db = level('/levelmem/does/not/care')
ttl(db, {
	ttl: 1000,
	checkInterval: 50
})

db.put('hi', 'wuzzup') //this sets the ttl

setTimeout(function () { //before key expires
	db.get('hi', function (err, value) {
		console.log(err && err.notFound) // -> null
		console.log(value) // -> 'wazzup'
	})
}, 900)

setTimeout(function () { //after key expires
	db.get('hi', function (err, value) {
		console.log(err && err.notFound) // -> true
		console.log(value) // -> undefined
	})
}, 1100)

install

With npm do:

npm install tiny-level-ttl
