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 🙏

Use Reducer With Side Effects

Actions Status npm version

Inspired by the reducerComponent of ReasonReact, this provides a way to declaratively declare side effects with updates, or to execute a side effect through the reducer while keeping the reducer pure. The general idea being that the side effects simply declare intent to execute further code, but belong with the update. reducers always return one of Update, NoUpdate, UpdateWithSideEffects, or SideEffects function.

One example in which this may be useful is when dispatching a second action depends on the success of the first action, instead of waiting to find out, one can declare the side effect along side the update.

Install

  • npm install use-reducer-with-side-effects
  • yarn add use-reducer-with-side-effects

Exports

  • Update - Return synchronous new state wrapped in this function for a plain update. Update(newState)
  • NoUpdate - Instead of just returning state when nothing should occur, return NoUpdate() to allow hook to know no update will be taking place.
  • UpdateWithSideEffects - Very similar to update except it takes a second argument, a callback function receiving the newState and dispatch.
  • SideEffects - simply receives a callback function with state, and dispatch as arguemnts.

Default Export - useReducerWithSideEffects(reducer, initialState);

Outside of returning the functions of above inside you're reducer this should function almost identically to the built in useReducer.

Example

Code Sandbox

A comparison using an adhoc use effect versus this library

adhoc
import React, { useReducer } from 'react';

function Avatar({ userName }) {
  const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(
    (state, action) => {
      switch (action.type) {
        case FETCH_AVATAR: {
          return { ...state, fetchingAvatar: true };
        }
        case FETCH_AVATAR_SUCCESS: {
          return { ...state, fetchingAvatar: false, avatar: action.avatar };
        }
        case FETCH_AVATAR_FAILURE: {
          return { ...state, fetchingAvatar: false };
        }
      }
    },
    { avatar: null }
  );

  useEffect(() => {
    dispatch({ type: FETCH_AVATAR });
    fetch(`/avatar/${userName}`).then(
      avatar => dispatch({ type: FETCH_AVATAR_SUCCESS, avatar }),
      dispatch({ type: FETCH_AVATAR_FAILURE })
    );
  }, [userName]);

  return <img src={!state.fetchingAvatar && state.avatar ? state.avatar : DEFAULT_AVATAR} />
}

Library with colocated async action

import useReducerWithSideEffects, { UpdateWithSideEffect, Update } from 'use-reducer-with-side-effects';

function Avatar({ userName }) {
  const [{ fetchingAvatar, avatar }, dispatch] = useReducerWithSideEffects(
    (state, action) => {
      switch (action.type) {
        case FETCH_AVATAR: {
          return UpdateWithSideEffect({ ...state, fetchingAvatar: true }, (state, dispatch) => { // the second argument can also be an array of side effects
                fetch(`/avatar/${userName}`).then(
                  avatar =>
                    dispatch({
                      type: FETCH_AVATAR_SUCCESS,
                      avatar
                    }),
                  dispatch({ type: FETCH_AVATAR_FAILURE })
                );
          });
        }
        case FETCH_AVATAR_SUCCESS: {
          return Update({ ...state, fetchingAvatar: false, avatar: action.avatar });
        }
        case FETCH_AVATAR_FAILURE: {
          return Update({ ...state, fetchingAvatar: false })
        }
      }
    },
    { avatar: null }
  );

  useEffect(() => dispatch({ type: FETCH_AVATAR }) , [userName]);

  return <img src={!fetchingAvatar && avatar ? avatar : DEFAULT_AVATAR} />;
}
