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

trycatch

Build Status A domain-based asynchronous try/catch with (optional) long stack traces for node.js optimized for V8.

WARNING: trycatch replaces the built-in global Error object.

#Install

npm install trycatch

#Use

var trycatch = require('trycatch')
trycatch(function() {
  // do something error-prone
}, function(err) {
  console.log(err.stack);
})

###Returning 500s on Server Request

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  trycatch(function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
      throw new Error('Baloney!');
    }, 1000);
  }, function(err) {
    res.writeHead(500);
    res.end(err.stack);
  });
}).listen(8000);

Visit http://localhost:8000 and get your 500.

#Options Optional Long-Stack-Traces:

// Because trycatch shims all native I/O calls,
// it must be required & configured with 'long-stack-traces' before any other modules.
var trycatch = require('trycatch')
trycatch.configure({'long-stack-traces': true})
trycatch(fnTry, fnCatch)

Colors:

var trycatch = require('trycatch')
trycatch.configure({
  colors: {
    // 'none' or falsy values will omit
    'node': 'none',
    'node_modules': false,
    'default': 'yellow'
  }
})
trycatch(fnTry, fnCatch)

Advanced Formatting:

var trycatch = require('trycatch')
trycatch.configure({
  format: function(line) {
    // Alter final output (falsy values will omit)
    return line
  }
})
trycatch(fnTry, fnCatch)

#Basic Example

var trycatch = require("trycatch"),
  _ = require('underscore')._

  trycatch(function() {
  _.map(['Error 1', 'Error 2'], function foo(v) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      throw new Error(v)
    }, 10)
  })
}, function(err) {
  console.log("Async error caught!\n", err.stack);
});

Output

#Advanced Examples

See the /test and examples directories for more use cases.

uncaughtApplicationException

trycatch effectively wraps all application callbacks in try/catch blocks, preventing an exception in your application code from causing code in core to not execute. Effectively, this means that excpeitons originating in application code that normally would be passed as uncaughtException, can instead be handled via uncaughtApplicationException without requiring a restart:

process.on('uncaughtApplicationException', (err) => console.log(err.stack))

process.on('uncaughtException', (err) => {
  console.log(err.stack)
  // We are in an undefined state and need to restart
  handleSoftShutodwn()
})
