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 🙏

Small library for cheking if a variable is ok.

npm install torf --save

For readability I suggest to save the module in a variable called is.

##is.ok();

This method simply checks if a variable is ok in general terms. Is ok means that a variable is defined and in case it is an object (or array) that it is not empty or the content is not undifined or null.

var is = require('torf');

is.ok([]);            // false
is.ok({});            // false
is.ok([{}]);          // false
is.ok(NaN);           // false
is.ok(null);          // false
is.ok(Infinity);      // false
is.ok(undefined);     // false
is.ok([NaN]);         // false
is.ok([null]);        // false
is.ok([Infinity]);    // false
is.ok([undefined]);   // false

You can pass functions as well. In that case the function will be invoked and the test will be performed on what the function returns.

is.ok(function(){});                    // false
is.ok(function(){return NaN;});         // false
is.ok(function(){return false;});       // false
is.ok(function(){return null;});        // false
is.ok(function(){return Infinity;});    // false
is.ok(function(){return undefined;});   // false
is.ok(function(){return [undefined];}); // false

This is done recursively, which means it is possible to nest functions.

is.ok(function(){ return function(){ return false;}}); // false
is.ok(function(){ return function(){ return true;}});  // true

##is.type();

This method simply checks the first argument class or primitive value against the second argument.

var is = require('torf');

is.type('string', 'string'); // true
is.type(['fooo'], 'array');  // true
is.type({a:'hi'}, 'string'); // false

It is possible to pass an array of classes as second argument, in which case it will return true if one of the classes is matched.

var is = require('torf');

is.type('string', ['string', 'number', 'object']); // true
is.type(['fooo'], ['null', 'array', 'date']);      // true
is.type({a:'hi'}, ['string', 'number', 'array']);  // false

The comparison is done by calling the Object.prototype.toString() to detect object class so it's possible to test alse undefined === null.

is.type(undefined, 'null');  // false
is.type(null, 'null');       // true

##is.email();

Internally it uses a regular expression /\S+@\S+\.\S+/ which is pretty generous. If you need more restriction I suggest to look at the second example.

var is = require('torf');

is.email('[email protected]');      // true;
is.email('[email protected]');  // true;
is.email('foo.zoo@bar');      // false;
is.email(null);               // false;
is.email(undefined);          // false;

Optionally you can pass a regular expression to check against as second parameter.

var is = require('torf');

is.email('[email protected]', new RegExp(/[\s\S]/));  // true
