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

Build Status NPM version

xhr-promise

This module wraps the XMLHttpRequest object with Promise/A+ compliant promises. The promise implementation is provided by the bluebird promise library.

Browser support

Because xhr-promise uses the XMLHttpRequest object this library will work with IE7+, Safari 5+ and evergreen browsers (Chrome and Firefox). You should read the bluebird docs for workarounds with promises and IE 7 and IE 8.

Installation

This package is available on npm as:

npm install xhr-promise

Example

The xhr-promise code in this example does the same thing as the following XMLHttpRequest code.

xhr-promise code:

var XMLHttpRequestPromise = require('xhr-promise');

var xhrPromise = new XMLHttpRequestPromise();

xhrPromise.send({
    method: 'POST',
    url: 'https://example.com/form',
    data: 'foo=bar'
  })
  .then(function (results) {
    if (results.status !== 200) {
      throw new Error('request failed');
    }
    // ...
  })
  .catch(function (e) {
    console.error('XHR error');
    // ...
  });

XMLHttpRequest code:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.onload = function () {
  if (xhr.status !== 200) {
    throw new Error('request failed');
  }
  // ...
}

xhr.onerror = function () {
  console.error('XHR error');
  // ...
}

xhr.open('POST', 'https://example.com/form', true);

xhr.send('foo=bar');

Access to the XMLHttpRequest object

You still have direct access to the XMLHttpRequest instance if you want to access or manipulate the object state yourself.

var XMLHttpRequestPromise = require('xhr-promise');

var xhrPromise = new XMLHttpRequestPromise();

xhrPromise.send({...})
  .then(function () {
    var xhr = xhrPromise.getXHR();
  });

Running the tests
