ccnokes / serial.ts
Last active November 17, 2022 23:07
Takes a list of async functions and executes them one at a time. You could just use a `for of` loop for this too 😅

async function serial(
fnList: Array<() => Promise<void>>,

let current = fnList[nextIndex];

ccnokes / useCallIfMounted.tsx
Last active April 6, 2020 16:38
React hook that only runs a function if the component is still mounted. React says this is an anti-pattern, but vanilla Promises and async DOM APIs don't give you a way to cancel async actions 🤷‍♂️.
function useCallIfMounted() {
let isMounted = React.useRef(false);
React.useEffect(() => {
isMounted.current = true;
return () => isMounted.current = false;
}, [isMounted]);
return React.useCallback((fn) => isMounted.current && fn(), [isMounted]);
}

ccnokes / memoize.ts
Last active November 1, 2020 18:31
A memoize function is only as good as its cache
// NOTE can't use lodash.memoize because we need 2 caches and v2 doesn't support replacing the cache implementation
// TS type note: the below type is inspired by Lodash v4 types
function memoize<T extends (...args: any) => any>(fn: T, resolver?: (...args: any[]) => any) {
let objectCache = new WeakMap<any, any>(); // WeakMap can only store objects as keys and allows the objects to get GC'ed out
let primitiveCache = new Map<any, any>(); // Map can store anything as a key but no auto GC
return function(...args: Parameters<T>): ReturnType<T> {
// just in case things got out of hand, dump the cache if too many entries
if (primitiveCache.size > 10000) {
primitiveCache.clear();
}

Bash script that checks for apps that use Electron. Detailed a bit more here: https://cameronnokes.com/blog/how-to-know-if-a-desktop-app-uses-electron/
#!/bin/bash

stat "$1/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework" &> /dev/null

ccnokes / ObservableMap.ts
Last active November 5, 2019 04:58
A Map class with built-in event emitter that emits a `update` event whenever something changes
class ObservableMap<K, V> extends Map<K, V> {
readonly events = new EventEmitter();
set(key: K, value: V) {
let previousValue = this.get(key);
super.set(key, value);
this.events.emit("update", {
key,
action: "set",
previousValue,
currentValue: this.get(key)
class EventEmitter {
constructor() {
this.target = new EventTarget();
}
on(eventName, listener) {
return this.target.addEventListener(eventName, listener);
}
once(eventName, listener) {
return this.target.addEventListener(eventName, listener, { once: true });
}

ccnokes / event-emitter.js
Created October 30, 2019 15:50
Event emitter using the native DOM APIs: EventTarget and CustomEvent
// Who needs eventemitter3, mitt, or some other library when you can use native DOM APIs? 😁
let eventEmitter = new EventTarget();
eventEmitter.addEventListener('test', console.log); // CustomEvent { type: 'test', detail: 123, ... }
eventEmitter.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('test', { detail: 123 }));
