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 🙏

Weak Ref Collections

Iterable WeakMaps and WeakSets. Provides WeakRefMap and WeakRefSet which store object values using WeakRefs and clean themselves up when garbage collected. Supports both objects and primitives simultaneously. Behaves like normal Map and Set for primitives.

Installation

npm install weak-ref-collections

Usage

Unlike WeakMap which stores keys weakly, WeakRefMap stores keys strongly but stores values using WeakRefs. Is fully iterable. Works just like a normal Map object but holds its values weakly and cleans itself up when its values are garbage collected. Follows the Map API

const { WeakRefMap } = require("weak-ref-collections");

weakRefMap = new WeakRefMap();
weakRefMap.set("foo", {"bar": 1});
weakRefMap.get("foo");    // {"bar":1}
weakRefMap.has("foo");    // true
weakRefMap.delete("foo"); // true
weakRefMap.clear();       // undefined
weakRefMap.forEach((value, key, map) => {});
// Supports iteration
for (const [key, value] of weakRefMap) {}
for (const [key, value] of weakRefMap.entries()) {}
for (const key of weakRefMap.keys()) {}
for (const value of weakRefMap.values()) {}

Similarly for WeakRefSet is fully iterable unlike WeakSet. Works just like a normal Set object but holds its values weakly and cleans itself up when its values are garbage collected. Follows the Set API

const { WeakRefSet } = require("weak-ref-set");

weakRefSet = new WeakRefSet();
const element = {"bar": 1};
weakRefSet.add(element);
weakRefSet.has(element);    // true
weakRefSet.delete(element); // true
weakRefSet.clear();         // undefined
weakRefSet.forEach((value, alsoValue, set) => {});
// Supports iteration
for (const [value, alsoValue] of weakRefSet) {}
for (const [value, alsoValue] of weakRefSet.entries()) {}
for (const value of weakRefSet.keys()) {}
for (const value of weakRefSet.values()) {}
