Quick Snippets

Copy-paste ready utilities for everyday problems

Retry with Exponential Backoff
JavaScript Easy
async function retryWithBackoff(fn, options = {}) {
  const {
    maxAttempts = 3,
    baseDelay = 1000,
    maxDelay = 10000,
    jitter = true
  } = options;

  let lastError;

  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxAttempts; attempt++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (error) {
      lastError = error;

      if (attempt === maxAttempts) {
        throw error;
      }

      const delay = Math.min(
        baseDelay * Math.pow(2, attempt - 1),
        maxDelay
      );

      const finalDelay = jitter
        ? delay + Math.random() * 1000
        : delay;

      console.log(`Attempt ${attempt} failed, retrying in ${Math.round(finalDelay)}ms`);

      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, finalDelay));
    }
  }

  throw lastError;
}
In-Memory Cache with TTL
JavaScript Intermediate
class MemoryCache {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    this.cache = new Map();
    this.ttl = options.ttl || 60000;
    this.cleanupInterval = options.cleanupInterval || 60000;
    this.startCleanup();
  }

  set(key, value, ttl = this.ttl) {
    const expiresAt = Date.now() + ttl;
    this.cache.set(key, { value, expiresAt });
    return this;
  }

  get(key) {
    const item = this.cache.get(key);
    if (!item) return null;

    if (Date.now() > item.expiresAt) {
      this.delete(key);
      return null;
    }

    return item.value;
  }

  has(key) {
    return this.get(key) !== null;
  }

  delete(key) {
    return this.cache.delete(key);
  }

  clear() {
    this.cache.clear();
  }

  get size() {
    return this.cache.size;
  }

  startCleanup() {
    this.timer = setInterval(() => {
      const now = Date.now();
      for (const [key, item] of this.cache.entries()) {
        if (now > item.expiresAt) {
          this.cache.delete(key);
        }
      }
    }, this.cleanupInterval);
  }

  stopCleanup() {
    if (this.timer) clearInterval(this.timer);
  }

  getOrSet(key, fn, ttl) {
    const value = this.get(key);
    if (value !== null) return value;

    const newValue = fn();
    this.set(key, newValue, ttl);
    return newValue;
  }
}
Natural Time Formatter
JavaScript Easy
function formatNaturalTime(date, now = new Date()) {
  const then = new Date(date);
  const diffMs = now - then;
  const diffSecs = Math.floor(diffMs / 1000);
  const diffMins = Math.floor(diffSecs / 60);
  const diffHours = Math.floor(diffMins / 60);
  const diffDays = Math.floor(diffHours / 24);
  const diffWeeks = Math.floor(diffDays / 7);
  const diffMonths = Math.floor(diffDays / 30);
  const diffYears = Math.floor(diffDays / 365);

  if (diffSecs < 60) return "just now";
  if (diffMins < 60) return `${diffMins} minute${diffMins !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  if (diffHours < 24) return `${diffHours} hour${diffHours !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  if (diffDays < 7) return `${diffDays} day${diffDays !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  if (diffWeeks < 4) return `${diffWeeks} week${diffWeeks !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  if (diffMonths < 12) return `${diffMonths} month${diffMonths !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
  return `${diffYears} year${diffYears !== 1 ? "s" : ""} ago`;
}
URL Query String Builder
TypeScript Easy
class URLBuilder {
  constructor(baseUrl = "") {
    this.baseUrl = baseUrl;
    this.queryParams = {};
    this.hash = "";
  }

  setParam(key, value) {
    if (value === null || value === undefined) {
      delete this.queryParams[key];
    } else if (Array.isArray(value)) {
      this.queryParams[key] = value;
    } else {
      this.queryParams[key] = String(value);
    }
    return this;
  }

  setParams(params) {
    for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(params)) {
      this.setParam(key, value);
    }
    return this;
  }

  setHash(hash) {
    this.hash = hash;
    return this;
  }

  toString() {
    let url = this.baseUrl;
    const query = this.buildQuery();
    if (query) url += "?" + query;
    if (this.hash) url += "#" + encodeURIComponent(this.hash);
    return url;
  }

  buildQuery() {
    const params = [];
    for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(this.queryParams)) {
      if (Array.isArray(value)) {
        for (const v of value) {
          params.push(`${encodeURIComponent(key)}=${encodeURIComponent(v)}`);
        }
      } else {
        params.push(`${encodeURIComponent(key)}=${encodeURIComponent(value)}`);
      }
    }
    return params.join("&");
  }
}
