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 🙏

@define-kit/utilities

v0.1.1

Published

Reusable utilities for EVM infrastructure.

Readme

@define-kit/utilities

Utilities for RPC endpoint validation, health checks, and other common EVM infrastructure tasks.

Installation

npm install @define-kit/utilities

RPC health checks

The package currently exports RpcHealthCheck for checking JSON-RPC endpoints.

import { RpcHealthCheck } from '@define-kit/utilities';

const checker = new RpcHealthCheck();

const result = await checker.check({
  url: 'https://your-rpc.example',
  expectedChainId: 1,
});

The check:

  • verifies eth_chainId against expectedChainId;
  • calls eth_blockNumber and measures latency;
  • checks whether eth_call appears to be available.

isSuccess reflects the chain ID and block-number checks. supportsEthCall is reported separately.

interface RpcHealthCheckResult {
  latencyMs: number;
  isSuccess: boolean;
  supportsEthCall?: boolean;
  error: string;
}

Metadata

Use checkWithMeta to attach caller-owned metadata to a result:

const result = await checker.checkWithMeta({
  url: 'https://your-rpc.example',
  expectedChainId: 1,
  meta: { rpcId: 'primary-mainnet' },
});

Batch checks

Use checkMany to check multiple endpoints with a concurrency limit. Results preserve input order.

const results = await checker.checkMany(inputs, {
  concurrency: 5,
});

The default Axios client uses a six-second timeout. A custom Axios instance can be passed to the constructor.

The package does not persist health state, manage cooldowns, disable endpoints, select providers, or schedule checks.
