`@reykjavik/webtools/http`

Various framework agnostic helpers for leveraging HTTP magic.

HTTP Status Codes

All the web-related HTTP status codes are exported with human-readable names and a short JSDoc comment:

HTTP_200_OK
HTTP_303_SeeOther
HTTP_304_NotModified
HTTP_307_TemporaryRedirect
HTTP_308_PermanentRedirect
HTTP_400_BadRequest
HTTP_401_Unauthorized
HTTP_403_Forbidden
HTTP_404_NotFound
HTTP_418_ImATeapot
HTTP_500_InternalServerError
...ad nauseum.

These make your code more readable and less prone to accidental mistakes:

import { HTTP_200_OK, HTTP_404_NotFound } from '@reykjavik/webtools/http';

console.log(HTTP_200_OK); // 200
console.log(HTTP_404_NotFound); // 404

Types for HTTP Status code groups

These type unions are useful when writing HTTP helper functions and error handlers, etc.

Union Types for the more commonly occurrring HTTP Status codes:

HTTP_INFO (100, 101)
HTTP_SUCCESS (200, 201, 202)
HTTP_REDIRECTION (301, 302, 303, 304, 307, 308)
- HTTP_NOTMODIFIED (304)
HTTP_ERROR (400, 404, 410, 401, 403, 500)
- HTTP_CLIENT_ERROR (400, 404, 410, 401, 403)
  - HTTP_NOT_FOUND (400, 404, 410)
  - HTTP_BANNED (401, 403)
- HTTP_SERVER_ERROR (500)

It also offers more complete union types, including all the esoteric status codes, are also available:

HTTP_STATUS (all the status-codes!)
- HTTP_INFO_ALL (1**)
- HTTP_SUCCESS_ALL (2**)
- HTTP_REDIRECTION_ALL (3**)
- HTTP_ERROR_ALL (4** and 5**)
  - HTTP_CLIENT_ERROR_ALL (4**)
  - HTTP_SERVER_ERROR_ALL (5**)

`cacheControl` helper

Syntax: cacheConrol(response: ServerResponse | Response | Map<string, string> | { res: ServerResponse | Response }, ttlCfg: TTLConfig, eTag?: string|number): void

Use this function to quickly set the Cache-Control header with a max-age= on a HTTP response (or a Map object representing response headers).

import { cacheControl } from '@reykjavik/webtools/http';

// ...then inside an API handler
// or a framework's data loader function
cacheControl(res, '4h');
// ...then set statusCode and send data

The directives private and immutable are used by by default.

Use the optional eTag parameter if you intend to handle conditional requests.

`cacheControlHeaders` helper

Syntax: cacheControlHeaders(ttlCfg: TTLConfig, eTag?: string|number): Record<string, string>

Similar to the cacheControl helper, but returns an plain object with the headers for use in situations where HeadersInit object are expected.

import { cacheControlHeaders } from '@reykjavik/webtools/http';

const response = new Response('Hello, World!', {
  headers: cacheControlHeaders('4h'),
});

Type `TTLConfig`

import type { TTLConfig } from '@reykjavik/webtools/http';

const myTTL1: TTLConfig = '4s';
const myTTL2: TTLConfig = { maxAge: '4s' };

The ttlCfg parameter is either a bare TTL (max-age) value:

number — seconds
"${number}${'s'|'m'|'h'|'d'|'w'}" — gets converted to seconds

…one of these TTLKeywords:

"permanent" — an alias for maxAge: '365d'
"no-cache" — disables caching
"unset" — removes the header altogether

…or a more complex TTLConfig object with the following properties:

TTLConfig.maxAge: TTL | TTLKeywords (required)

Sets the max-age= directive. See above definitions

(NOTE: Second values of zero or less get converted to "no-cache".)

TTLConfig.staleWhileRevalidate?: TTL

If set to a positive value then stale-while-revalidate= is added to the response header

TTLConfig.staleIfError?: TTL

If set to a positive value then stale-if-error= is added to the response header

TTLConfig.publ?: boolean

Sets the response caching as "public", instead of the default "private"

TTLConfig.stability?: 'revalidate' | 'immutable' | 'normal'

Allows setting a "must-revalidate" flag instead of the default "immutable". A value of "normal" omits the flagging and falls back to HTTP's default behavior.

`toSec` TTL helper

Syntax: toSec(ttl: number | `${number}${'s'|'m'|'h'|'d'|'w'}`): number

Converts a TTL (max-age) value into seconds. Returns 0 for bad and/or negative input values.

import type { toSec, TTL } from '@reykjavik/webtools/http';

const ttl: TTL = '2h';

const ttlSec = toSec(ttl);

`toMs` duration helper

Syntax: toSec(duration: number | `${number}${'s'|'m'|'h'|'d'|'w'}`): number

Converts a TTL (duration) value into milliseconds. Returns 0 for bad and/or negative input values.

import type { toMs, TTL } from '@reykjavik/webtools/http';

const ttl: TTL = '2h';

const ttlSec = toMs(ttl);

`@reykjavik/webtools/fixIcelandicLocale`

As of early 2024, Google Chrome still does not support the Icelandic locale is/is-IS in any way. Meanwhile other browsers have supported it for over a decade.

This module patches the following methods/classes by substituting the is locale with da (Danish) and apply a few post-hoc fixes to their return values.

Intl.Collator and String.prototype.localeCompare (*)
Intl.NumberFormat and Number.prototype.toLocaleString (*)
Intl.DateTimeFormat and Date.prototype.toLocaleString, .toLocaleDateString, and .toLocaleTimeString (*)
Intl.RelativeDateFormat
Intl.PluralRules
Intl.ListFormat

(*) The results are quite usable, but not entirely perfect. The limitations/caveats are listed below.

To apply the patch, simply "side-effect import" this module at the top of your app's entry point:

import '@reykjavik/webtools/fixIcelandicLocale';

// Then continue with your day and use `localeCompare` and other Intl.* methods
// as you normally would. (See "limitations" below.)

(NOTE The patch is only applied in engines that fail a simple feature detection test.)

Limitations

Intl.Collator and localeCompare:

It sorts initial letters correctly but in the rest of the string, it incorrectly treats ð and d as the same letter (most of the time), and lumps the acute-accented characters á, é, í, ó, ú and ý in with their non-accented counterparts.

Intl.NumberFormat and toLocaleString:

The style: "unit" option is not supported and prints units in Danish. (Soo many units and unit-variants…)
The currencyDisplay: "name" option is not supported and prints the currency's full name in Danish.

Intl.DateTimeFormat and toLocaleDateString:

The month: 'narrow' and weekday: 'narrow' options are not supported, and print the corresponding Danish initials.
For timeZoneName the values "long", "shortGeneric" and "longGeneric" will appear in Danish.
The timeStyle: 'full' option prints the timezone names in Danish
The dayPeriod option has a couple of slight mismatches, at 5 am and 12 noon.

We eagerly accept bugfixes, additions, etc. to this module!

`@reykjavik/webtools/async`

Contains a few small helpers for working with async functions and promises.

`promiseAllObject`

Syntax: promiseAllObject<T extends PlainObj>(promisesMap: T>): Promise<{ [K in keyof T]: Awaited<T[K]>; }>

A variation of Promise.all() that accepts an object with named promises and returns a same-shaped object with the resolved values.

import { promiseAllObject } from '@reykjavik/webtools/async';

const { user, posts } = await promiseAllObject({
  user: fetchUser(),
  posts: fetchPosts(),
});

`maxWait`

Syntax: maxWait(timeout: number, promises: Array<any>): Promise<void>
Syntax: maxWait<T extends PlainObj>(timeout: number, promises: T): Promise<{ [K in keyof T]: PromiseSettledResult<T[K]> } | undefined }>

This somewhat esoteric helper resolves soon when all of the passed promises have settled (resolved or rejected), OR after timeout milliseconds — whichever comes first.

If an object is passed, the resolved value will be an object with the same keys, and any settled values in a PromiseSettledResult object, and undefined for any promises that didn't settle in time.

import { maxWait } from '@reykjavik/webtools/async';

const user = fetchUser(); // Promise<User>
const posts = fetchPosts(); // Promise<Array<Post>>

// Array of promises resolves to void
await maxWait(500, [user, posts]);

// Object of promises resolves to an object with any resolved values at that time
const { user, posts } = await maxWait(500, { user, posts });

console.log(user?.value); // undefined | User
console.log(posts?.value); // undefined | Array<Post>
console.log(posts?.status); // 'fulfilled' | 'rejected'
console.log(posts?.reason); // undefined | unknown

`@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling`

A small set of lightweight tools for handling errors and promises in a safer, more structured, FP-ish way.

Errors are always the first return value to promote early, explicit error handling.

`asError`

Syntax: asError(maybeError: unknown): ErrorFromPayload

Guarantees that a caught (catch (e)) value of unknown type, is indeed an Error instance.

If the input is an Error instance, it is returned as-is. If the input is something else it is wrapped in a new ErrorFromPayload instance, and the original value is stored in as a payload property.

import { asError, type ErrorFromPayload } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

const theError = new Error('Something went wrong');
try {
  throw theError;
} catch (err) {
  const error = asError(theError);
  console.error(error === theError); // true
  console.error('patload' in error); // false
}

const someObject = ['Something went wrong'];
try {
  throw someObject;
} catch (err) {
  const error = asError(someObject);
  console.error(error === someObject); // false
  console.error(error.message === someObject.join(',')); // false
  console.error(error instanceOf ErrorFromPayload); // true

  console.error(error.payload === someObject); // true
}

`Result` Singleton

Singleton object with the following small methods for creating, mapping or handling ResultTupleObj instances:

Result.Success
Result.Fail
Result.catch
Result.map
Result.throw

Type `ResultTuple`

Syntax: ResultTuple<ResultType, OptionalErrorType>

(Also aliased as Result.Tuple)

Simple bare-bones discriminated tuple type for a [error, result] pair.

import { type ResultTuple } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

declare const myResult: ResultTuple<string, Error>;

const [error, result] = myResult;
// (One of these two is always `undefined`)

if (error) {
  // Here `error` is an Error instance
  console.error(error.message);
} else {
  // Here `result` is guaranteed to be a string
  console.log(result);
}

Type `ResultTupleObj`

Syntax: ResultTupleObj<ResultType, OptionalErrorType>

(Also aliased as Result.TupleObj)

Discriminated tuple type for a [error, result] pair (same as ResultTuple) but with named properties error and result attached for dev convenience.

import { type ResultTuple } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

declare const myResult: ResultTuple<string, Error>;

const [error, result] = myResult;
// (One of these two is always `undefined`)

if (error) {
  // Here `error` is an Error instance
  console.error(error.message);
} else {
  // Here `result` is guaranteed to be a string
  console.log(result);
}

// But `myResults` also has named properties, for convenience
if (myResult.error) {
  // Here `myResult.error` is an Error instance
  console.error(myResult.error.message);
} else {
  // Here `myResult.result` is a string
  console.log(myResult.result);
}

`Result.catch`

Syntax: Result.catch<T, Err>(callback: () => T): ResultTupleObj<T, Err> Syntax: Result.catch<T, Err>(promise: Promise<T>): Promise<ResultTupleObj<T, Err>>

Error handling utility that wraps a promise or a callback function.

Catches errors and returns a ResultTupleObj — a nice discriminated [error, results] tuple with the result and error also attached as named properties.

Works on both promises and sync callback functions.

import { Result } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

// Callback:
const [error, fooObject] = Result.catch(() => getFooSyncMayThrow());
// Promise:
const [error, fooObject] = await Result.catch(getFooPromiseMayThrow());

// Example of object property access:
const fooQuery = await Result.catch(getFooPromiseMayThrow());
if (fooQuery.error) {
  console.log(fooQuery.error === fooQuery[0]); // true
  throw fooQuery.error;
}
console.log(fooQuery.result === fooQuery[1]); // true
fooQuery.result; // Guaranteed to be defined

This function acts as the inverse of Result.throw().

`Result.map`

Syntax: Result.map<T, T2, E>(result: ResultTuple<T, E>, mapResult: (resultValue: T) => T2): ResultTuple<T2, E>

Helper to map a ResultTuple-like object to a new ResultTupleObj object, applying a transformation function to the result, but retaining the error as-is.

import { Result } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

const getStrLength = (str: string) => str.length;

const resultTuple =
  Math.random() < 0.5 ? [new Error('Fail')] : [undefined, 'Hello!'];

const [error, mappedResult] = Result.map(resultTuple, getStrLength);

if (result) {
  console.log(result); // 6
}

`Result.Success`

Syntax: Result.Success<T>(result: T): ResultTuple<T>

Factory for creating a successful ResultTupleObj.

import { Result } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

const happyResult: Result.SuccessObj<string> =
  Result.Success('My result value');

console.log(happyResult.error); // undefined
console.log(happyResult[0]); // undefined
console.log(happyResult.result); // 'My result value'
console.log(happyResult[1]); // 'My result value'

`Result.Fail`

Syntax: Result.Fail<E extends Error>(err: T): ResultTuple<unknown, Err>

Factory for creating a failed ResultTupleObj.

import { Result } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

const happyResult: Result.FailObj<string> = Result.Fail(new Error('Oh no!'));

console.log(happyResult.error.message); // 'Oh no!'
console.log(happyResult[0].message); // 'Oh no!'
console.log(happyResult.result); // undefined
console.log(happyResult[1]); // undefined

`Result.throw`

Syntax: Result.throw<T>(result: ResultTuple<T>): T

Unwraps a discriminated ResultTuple-like [error, result] tuple and throws if there's an error, but returns the result otherwise.

import { Result } from '@reykjavik/webtools/errorhandling';

try {
  const fooResults = Result.throw(await getFooResultsTuple());
} catch (fooError) {
  // Do something with the error from `getFooResultsTuple()`
}

This function acts as the inverse of Result.catch().

`@reykjavik/webtools/SiteImprove`

Contains React helpers for loading SiteImprove's analytics scripts, and perform page-view and custom event tracking in applications with client-side (pushState) routing.

`SiteImprove` component

A component for loading a SiteImprove analytics script and set up page-view tracking across URL routes.

It also automatically logs all out-bound link clicks, to match the behavior of the vanilla SiteImprove script.

Props:

The Component's props have detailed JSDoc comments (displayed in your code editor), but there's a brief summary:

accountId?: string — Your SiteImprove account ID. (alternative to scriptUrl prop).
scriptUrl?: string — The full SiteImprove analytics script URL. (alternative to accountId prop).
hasConsented?: boolean — Manual GDPR 'analytics' consent flag. Allows hard opt-out, but defers to CookieHubProvider values if they are available.
onLoad?: (e: unknown) => void — Fires when the script has loaded.
onError?: (e: unknown) => void — Fires if loading the script failed.

Example usage somewhere in your application:

import { SiteImprove } from '@reykjavik/webtools/SiteImprove';

const siteImproveAccountId = '[ACCOUNT_ID]'; // e.g. "7654321"

// ...then inside your main App component
<SiteImprove accountId={siteImproveAccountId} />;

In dev mode it does NOT load the SiteImprove script and merely logs page-view events to the console.

`pingSiteImprove` helper

Syntax: pingSiteImprove(category: string, action: string, label?: string): void

A small helper for tracking custom UI events and reporting them to SiteImrove.

It safely manages GDPR consent, so you can use it unconditionally.

import { pingSiteImprove } from '@reykjavik/webtools/SiteImprove';

const handleSubmit = () => {
  // perform submit action...
  if (success) {
    pingSiteImprove('application', 'add_new');
  }
};

`pingSiteImproveOutbound` helper

Syntax: pingSiteImproveOutbound(ourl: string): void

A small helper for reporting to SiteImrove when the user is programmatically being sent to a different URL/resource.

import { pingSiteImproveOutbound } from '@reykjavik/webtools/SiteImprove';

const handleSubmit = () => {
  // perform submit action...
  if (success) {
    const fileUrl = '/download/report.pdf';
    pingSiteImproveOutbound(fileUrl);
    document.location.href = fileUrl;
  }
};

`@reykjavik/webtools/CookieHubConsent`

Contains React helpers for loading CookieHub's consent manager and reading users' consent values.

`CookieHubProvider` component

This context provider component loads and initialises the CookieHub consent management script and sets up a React state object with the relevant user consent flags.

Wrap this provider around your component tree, and then use the useCookieHubConsent() hook to retrieve live consent information, whereever you wish to set GDPR-affected cookies or perform any sort of tracking/logging.

import { CookieHubProvider } from '@reykjavik/webtools/CookieHubConsent';

import { AnalyticsStuff } from '../components/AnalyticsStuff';

// Maybe move this to an Env variable, or something...
const cookiehubAccountId = '[ACCOUNT_ID]'; // e.g. "a4b3c2d1"

export default function App() {
  return (
    <CookieHubProvider accountId={cookiehubAccountId}>
      <div>
        <p>...my App UI...</p>
        <AnalyticsStuff />
      </div>
    </CookieHubProvider>
  );
}

Props:

The Component's props have detailed JSDoc comments (displayed in your code editor), but there's a brief summary:

accountId?: string — Your CookieHub account ID. (alternative to scriptUrl prop).
scriptUrl?: string — The full CookieHub embed script URL. (alternative to accountId prop).
options?: CookieHubOptions — Raw CookieHub options object that gets used when the script initializes.
onError?: OnErrorEventHandlerNonNull — Fires if loading the script failed.

`useCookieHubConsent`

Syntax: useCookieHubConsent(): Record<CookieHubCategory, boolean>

Returns up-to-date cookie consent boolean flags. For use in React components or hook functions.

import { useCookieHubConsent } from '@reykjavik/webtools/CookieHubConsent';

export const AnalyticsStuff = (props) => {
  const consent = useCookieHubConsent();
  if (!consent.analytics) {
    return null;
  }
  // Perform analytics...
};

If the CookieHubProvider is missing from the VDOM tree above your component, this hook will return an empty object.

`@reykjavik/webtools/vanillaExtract`

Contains helpers for writing vanilla-extract styles using plain CSS styntax.

This provides an "escape hatch" into regular CSS, when you're willing to trade local type-safety for access to the full features and expressiveness of real CSS. (Background info.)

`vanillaClass`

Syntax: vanillaClass(css: string | ((className: string, classNameSelector: string) => string)): string
Syntax: vanillaClass(debugId: string, css: string | ((className: string, classNameSelector: string) => string)): string

Returns a scoped cssClassName styled with free-form CSS. This function is a thin wrapper around vanilla-extract's style function.

When you pass it a string, all && tokens are automatically replaced with the selector for the auto-generated class-name. Note that in such cases EVERY style property must be wrapped in a selector block.

To opt out of the && replacement, use the callback function signature.

// someFile.css.ts
import { vanillaClass } from '@reykjavik/webtools/vanillaExtract';

// Simple class selector block
export const myClass = vanillaClass(`
  background-color: #ccc;
  padding: .5em 1em;
`);

// With && tokens that get replaced with the generated class-name
export const myClasWithAmp = vanillaClass(`
  && {
    background-color: #ccc;
    padding: .5em 1em;
  }
  && > strong {
    color: #c00;
  }
`);

// Passing a function to get the generated class-name for
// more complex styles.
export const myOtherClass = vanillaClass(
  (classNameRaw, classNameSelector) => `
    ${classNameSelector} { 
      background-color: #ccc;
      padding: .5em 1em;
    }
    [class="${classNameRaw}"] > strong {
      color: #c00;
    }
    @media (min-width: 800px) {
      ${classNameSelector} {
        background-color: #eee;
      }
    }
    /* NOTE: '&&' tokens returned from a callback function are NOT replaced */
    && { will-not-be: interpolated; }
  `
);

// With a human readable debugId
export const humanReadableClass = vanillaClass(
  'HumanReadable',
  `
    border: 1px dashed hotpink;
    cursor: pointer;
  `
);

(NOTE: The dot-prefixed && pattern is chosen to not conflict with the bare & token in modern nested CSS.)

`vanillaGlobal`

Syntax: vanillaGlobal(css: string): void

Inserts free-form CSS as a vanilla-extract globalStyle.

// someFile.css.ts
import { vanillaGlobal } from '@reykjavik/webtools/vanillaExtract';

vanillaGlobal(`
  body {
    background-color: rebeccapurple;
  }
`);

`vanillaProps`

Syntax: vanillaProps(css: string): GlobalStyleRule

Returns an object that can be safely spread into a vanilla-extract style object, to inject free-form CSS properties (or nested blocks).

// someFile.css.ts
import { style } from '@vanilla-extract/css';
import { vanillaProps } from '@reykjavik/webtools/vanillaExtract';

const myStyle = style({
  color: 'darksalmon',
  // ...other style props...

  ...vanillaProps(`
    /* Plain CSS that's injected into the "myStyle" style block */
    border-bottom: 1px solid red;
    color: ${theme.color.primary}; /* I can still use typesafe values */
    random-css-prop-normally-rejected-by-vanilla-extract: 'YOLO!';
  `),
});
