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 🙏

:running: Asynchronous side effects, without the nonsense.

useAsyncEffect(async () => {
  await doSomethingAsync();
});

Installation

npm install use-async-effect

or

yarn add use-async-effect

This package ships with TypeScript and Flow types.

API

The API is the same as React's useEffect(), except for some notable differences:

  • The destroy function is passed as an optional second argument:
useAsyncEffect(callback, dependencies?);
useAsyncEffect(callback, onDestroy, dependencies?);
  • The async callback will receive a single function to check whether the callback is still mounted:
useAsyncEffect(async isMounted => {
  const data1 = await fn1();
  if (!isMounted()) return;

  const data2 = await fn2();
  if (!isMounted()) return;

  doSomething(data1, data2);
});

Mounted means that it's running in the current component. It becomes unmounted if the component unmounts, or if the component is re-rendered and the callback is dropped and a new one is called.

Examples

Basic mount/unmount

useAsyncEffect(async () => console.log('mount'), () => console.log('unmount'), []);

Omitting destroy

useAsyncEffect(async () => console.log('mount'), []);

Handle effect result in destroy

useAsyncEffect(() => fetch('url'), (result) => console.log(result));

Making sure it's still mounted before updating component state

useAsyncEffect(async isMounted => {
  const data = await fetch(`/users/${id}`).then(res => res.json());
  if (!isMounted()) return;
  setUser(data);
}, [id]);
