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 project is inspired from tRPC.

Access server side properties and functions on client side without any frills, just as if they are one.

  • 📦 Framework agnostic API.
  • ✨ Full static type safety with auto completion on client.
  • 🍃 Zero dependencies and client library weights <1kb (minified).
  • ⌛ Get up and running with your existing project in minutes.

Check out the dev.to article for behind the scenes of this project 🡢

Why tRPA?

RPC only allows you to execute procedures i.e. functions. What about static properties? With tRPA you can do both, access server side properties as well as execute remote functions from client side just as if you would from server side in a really native manner.

There are just two main functions: exportToClient and importFromServer.

Read the full documentation here.

Checkout the examples for Bun, Deno, Elysia here.

Proxy? Real object.

Unlike tRPC which uses Proxy object on client side to emulate accessing server side procedures, tRPA takes a different approach. It creates a special object with all nested properties and functions as exported and attaches a getter to each of them which does the magic behind the scenes. Which means after exporting, you'll get auto completions even from client developer console.

Limitations

This project only supports modern runtimes like Bun and Deno as they use the web standard APIs like Request and Response for their web server frameworks. Hence frameworks like node:http, express, fastify, etc. aren't supported.

This is a fairly new project, so it has some known limitations.

  • Doesn't support generator functions
  • Cannot send batch requests
  • No built in error handling
  • Creating instance for an exported class won't work

Feel free to open PRs if you can resolve any such issues.
