Promises

delay

Creates a delayed promise for the given amount of seconds and given promises. This can be useful for allowing spinners / loading skeletons to exist for a bit rather then quickly popping in and out.

import { delay } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

const promise = delay(); // Returns a promise with the preset delay
const promise = delay(1000); // Returns a promise with the given delay
const promise = delay(Promise.resolve('hello')); // Returns the original promise with the preset delay
const promise = delay(Promise.resolve('hello'), 1000); // Returns the original promise with the given delay

delay.fallback

This overrides the default delay value

import { delay } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

const promise = delay(); // Returns a promise with a delay of 500ms
delay.fallback(100);
const promise = delay(); // Returns a promise with a delay of 100ms

assert

On its own assert isn't overly useful just because of how type assertion works.

import { assert } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

export async function example() {
  const promise: Promise<string | undefined> = Promise.resolve('hello');
  // Run an assertion on the promises response
  const assertedPromise: Promise<string | undefined> = assert(promise, (value) => typeof value !== 'undefined');
  // Unfortunately our response is still considered undefined because we can't forward the assertion
}

assert.defined

Ensures the promise result is defined.

import { assert } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

export async function example() {
  const promise: Promise<string | undefined> = Promise.resolve('hello');

  // Run an assertion on the promises response
  const assertedPromise: Promise<string> = assert.defined(promise);
  // Our promise is no longer considered undefined!

  // You can also pass a message to throw!
  const assertedPromise: Promise<string> = assert.defined(promise, 'Expected our thing to exist!');
}

never

Creates a promise that never resolves. Primary use-case for this is testing loading states.

In the event a promise is passed it will log a warning in the console as a reminder not to leave it in.

import { never } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

const promise = never(); // Returns a promise that never resolves
const promise = never(Promise.resolve('hello')); // Returns a promise that never resolves

retry

Retries a function n times until it resolves successfully. This can be useful for requests that tend to be flaky.

import { retry } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

// Returns a promise that resolves when the request is successful or fails after its exceeded that maximum attempts.
const promise = retry(() => getMaps(), 5);

Fetch

rfetch

Lightweight wrapper around fetch that automatically handles:

• Query Params
• Form Data & JSON bodies
• JSON Responses (fallsback to text)
• Type Casting
• Errors

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

try {
  const response = await rfetch<MyExpectedResponse>('https://ribbonstudios.com', {
    params: {
      hello: 'world',
    },
    body: {
      hallo: 'welt',
    },
  });

  console.log(response);
  // => MyExpectedResponse
} catch (error: RibbonFetchError<MyExpectedErrorResponse>) {
  console.error(error);
  // => { status: number; content: MyExpectedErrorResponse; }
}

rfetch.get

Shorthand for GET requests.

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

// Shorthand for GET requests.
await rfetch.get<MyExpectedResponse>('https://ribbonstudios.com');

rfetch.put

Shorthand for PUT requests.

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

// Shorthand for PUT requests.
await rfetch.put<MyExpectedResponse>('https://ribbonstudios.com');

rfetch.post

Shorthand for POST requests.

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

// Shorthand for POST requests.
await rfetch.post<MyExpectedResponse>('https://ribbonstudios.com');

rfetch.patch

Shorthand for PATCH requests.

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

// Shorthand for PATCH requests.
await rfetch.patch<MyExpectedResponse>('https://ribbonstudios.com');

rfetch.delete

Shorthand for DELETE requests.

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

// Shorthand for DELETE requests.
await rfetch.delete<MyExpectedResponse>('https://ribbonstudios.com');

rfetch.interceptors

Useful for enhancing requests with additional information

import { rfetch, type RibbonFetchError } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

const interceptor = (url: URL, options: RequestInit): RequestInit | Promise<RequestInit> => {
  return options; // Return the modified options!
};

rfetch.interceptors.add(interceptor); // Add the interceptor
rfetch.interceptors.remove(interceptor); // Remove the interceptor
rfetch.interceptors.clear(); // Clear all interceptors

rfetch.delimiters

Specifies which delimiters should be used.

import { rfetch, DelimiterType } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

rfetch.delimiters(DelimiterType.DUPLICATE); // Use duplicate query params

// This is the default functionality
// https://ribbonstudios.com?hello=world&hello=welt
await rfetch.get('https://ribbonstudios.com', {
  params: {
    hello: ['world', 'welt'],
  },
});

rfetch.delimiters(DelimiterType.COMMA); // Use comma separators

// https://ribbonstudios.com?hello=world,welt
await rfetch.get('https://ribbonstudios.com', {
  params: {
    hello: ['world', 'welt'],
  },
});

rfetch.is.error

A type guard that helps determine if the error is from a rfetch response.

import { rfetch } from '@ribbon-studios/js-utils';

try {
  await rfetch.get('https://ribbonstudios.com');
} catch (error: any) {
  if (rfetch.is.error(error) && error.status === 404) {
    // Do something!
  }

  throw error;
}
