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 🙏

Serverless plugin that restricts deployments to a configured list of stages.

Readme

@bancs/serverless-stages-plugin

npm version CI CodeQL License: MIT

A Serverless Framework plugin that restricts deployments to a configured list of allowed stages.

If you attempt to deploy to a stage that isn't in your custom.stages list, the deployment is aborted with a clear error message — preventing accidental deploys to the wrong environment.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @bancs/serverless-stages-plugin

Usage

Add the plugin to your serverless.yml and define the allowed stages in custom.stages:

service: my-service

plugins:
  - @bancs/serverless-stages-plugin

custom:
  stages:
    - dev
    - staging
    - prod

provider:
  name: aws
  stage: ${opt:stage, 'dev'}

Now any deploy to a stage not in the list will fail immediately:

$ serverless deploy --stage qa
Error: 'qa' is not a valid deployment stage.
Add it to your serverless.yml's "custom.stages" section.

Configuration

custom:
  # Required. List the stages you allow deployments to.
  stages:
    - dev
    - staging
    - prod

  # A single string is also valid.
  # stages: prod

How it works

The plugin hooks into before:package:initialize and before:deploy:function:initialize. On each hook it:

  1. Reads the stage from --stage CLI option, falling back to provider.stage.
  2. Reads the allowed stages from custom.stages.
  3. Throws if custom.stages is missing or if the current stage is not in the list.
