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 🙏

@dilipabc/storage-core

v0.1.0

Published

Streaming source readers, landing writers, and ingestion events for Sentinel

Readme

storage-core

Shared TypeScript I/O library used by poll-orchestrator. It has no server or standalone runtime.

Install

npm install @dilipabc/storage-core

The published package exposes compiled JavaScript and TypeScript declarations through the package root. Source files and local development dependencies are not included in the npm tarball.

Public API

import {
  listNewFiles,
  readFromSource,
  writeToLanding,
  StorageCoreError,
  asStorageError,
  errorMessage,
  ReaderService,
  LandingWriterService,
  KafkaEventPublisher,
} from '@dilipabc/storage-core'
  • listNewFiles(input) selects a source driver from input.sourceCredentials.provider.
  • readFromSource(input) returns a readable stream for a source file.
  • writeToLanding(stream, input) selects the landing writer from STORAGE_PROVIDER, uploads the stream, and publishes an ingestion-events metadata message.
  • StorageCoreError provides structured, machine-readable failures.
  • asStorageError(error, code, operation) converts unknown failures into a StorageCoreError.
  • errorMessage(error) safely extracts a message from an unknown thrown value.
  • ReaderService, LandingWriterService, and KafkaEventPublisher provide class-based APIs for dependency injection and explicit lifecycle management. The function APIs remain available for simple integrations.

For applications that manage lifecycle explicitly:

import {
  KafkaEventPublisher,
  LandingWriterService,
  ReaderService,
} from '@dilipabc/storage-core'

const reader = new ReaderService()
const kafka = new KafkaEventPublisher()
const writer = new LandingWriterService((event) => kafka.publish(event))

try {
  const files = await reader.listNewFiles(readInput)
  // Use reader.readFromSource(...) and writer.writeToLanding(...) as needed.
  console.log(files.length)
} finally {
  await kafka.close()
}

Complete file-transfer example

This example shows the normal flow for FTP, SFTP, S3, GCP, Azure, or MinIO sources. The source credential object is normally loaded from KMS or another secret manager.

import {
  listNewFiles,
  readFromSource,
  writeToLanding,
  type ReadInput,
  type WriteInput,
} from '@dilipabc/storage-core'

const readInput: ReadInput = {
  orgId: 'org-123',
  fileName: '',
  mimeType: '',
  fileSizeBytes: 0,
  sourceChannel: 'S3_INGESTION',
  sourceCredentials: {
    provider: 'S3',
    access_key: process.env.SOURCE_ACCESS_KEY!,
    secret_key: process.env.SOURCE_SECRET_KEY!,
    region: 'ap-south-1',
    bucket: 'source-bucket',
    insuranceCompanyCode: 'ACME',
  },
}

const files = await listNewFiles(readInput)

for (const file of files) {
  const sourceStream = await readFromSource({
    ...readInput,
    fileName: file.fileName,
    mimeType: file.mimeType,
    fileSizeBytes: file.fileSizeBytes,
    filePath: file.filePath,
  })

  const writeInput: WriteInput = {
    orgId: file.orgId,
    insuranceCompanyCode: file.insuranceCompanyCode,
    contextFolder: file.claimFolder,
    fileName: file.fileName,
    mimeType: file.mimeType,
    fileSizeBytes: file.fileSizeBytes,
    sourceChannel: readInput.sourceChannel,
  }

  const result = await writeToLanding(sourceStream, writeInput)
  console.log(`Uploaded ${file.fileName} to ${result.bucketName}/${result.objectKey}`)
}

listNewFiles

listNewFiles returns normalized FileDescriptor objects. The provider is selected using sourceCredentials.provider case-insensitively.

const files = await listNewFiles({
  orgId: 'org-123',
  fileName: '',
  mimeType: '',
  fileSizeBytes: 0,
  sourceChannel: 'FTP_INGESTION',
  sourceCredentials: {
    provider: 'FTP',
    host: 'ftp.example.com',
    port: 21,
    user: 'readonly-user',
    password: process.env.FTP_PASSWORD!,
    bucket: '/incoming',
    source_prefix: 'claims',
    insuranceCompanyCode: 'ACME',
    secure: true,
  },
})

for (const file of files) {
  console.log({
    name: file.fileName,
    path: file.filePath,
    size: file.fileSizeBytes,
    type: file.mimeType,
  })
}

Provider credential shapes:

// SFTP
{ provider: 'SFTP', host, user, password, port: 22, bucket, source_prefix, insuranceCompanyCode }

// MinIO source
{ provider: 'MINIO', endpoint, access_key, secret_key, bucket, insuranceCompanyCode }

// S3 source
{ provider: 'S3', access_key, secret_key, region, bucket, endpoint?, insuranceCompanyCode }

// Google Cloud Storage source
{ provider: 'GCP', project_id, bucket_name, google_application_credentials, source_prefix?, insuranceCompanyCode }

// Azure Blob source
{ provider: 'AZURE', account_name, account_key, container, endpoint?, source_prefix?, insuranceCompanyCode }

readFromSource

Use the descriptor's filePath when reading a file. The returned value is a Node.js Readable and can be piped directly to another service.

import { createWriteStream } from 'node:fs'
import { pipeline } from 'node:stream/promises'

const stream = await readFromSource({
  ...readInput,
  fileName: 'claim.pdf',
  mimeType: 'application/pdf',
  fileSizeBytes: 1024,
  filePath: '2026-09-10/claim-123/claim.pdf',
})

await pipeline(stream, createWriteStream('/tmp/claim.pdf'))

writeToLanding

Set the landing environment variables before calling writeToLanding. The function returns a TransferResult after the storage upload.

import { Readable } from 'node:stream'

process.env.STORAGE_PROVIDER = 'S3'
process.env.AWS_REGION = 'ap-south-1'
process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'landing-access-key'
process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'landing-secret-key'
process.env.AWS_BUCKET = 'sentinel-landing'
process.env.KAFKA_BROKER = 'kafka.example.com:9092'

const result = await writeToLanding(
  Readable.from(Buffer.from('example file content')),
  {
    orgId: 'org-123',
    insuranceCompanyCode: 'ACME',
    contextFolder: 'claim-123',
    fileName: 'document.txt',
    mimeType: 'text/plain',
    fileSizeBytes: 20,
    sourceChannel: 'API_INGESTION',
  },
)

// result.success, result.message, result.objectKey, result.bucketName,
// result.storageProvider, result.fileSizeBytes
console.log(result)

For MinIO, use STORAGE_PROVIDER=MINIO, MINIO_ENDPOINT, MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, MINIO_SECRET_KEY, and MINIO_BUCKET instead.

Email source example

Email content is downloaded while listing. Do not call readFromSource for an email descriptor; wrap the buffered bytes in a stream.

import { Readable } from 'node:stream'

const emailFiles = await listNewFiles({
  orgId: 'org-123',
  fileName: '',
  mimeType: '',
  fileSizeBytes: 0,
  sourceChannel: 'EMAIL_INGESTION',
  sourceCredentials: {
    provider: 'EMAIL',
    email: '[email protected]',
    password: process.env.IMAP_PASSWORD!,
    imap_host: 'imap.example.com',
    imap_port: 993,
    insuranceCompanyCode: 'ACME',
    lastProcessedUid: 100,
    lastUidValidity: '42',
  },
})

for (const file of emailFiles) {
  if (!file.emailMeta) continue

  const result = await writeToLanding(
    Readable.from(file.emailMeta.bufferedContent),
    {
      orgId: file.orgId,
      insuranceCompanyCode: file.insuranceCompanyCode,
      contextFolder: file.claimFolder,
      fileName: file.fileName,
      mimeType: file.mimeType,
      fileSizeBytes: file.fileSizeBytes,
      sourceChannel: 'EMAIL_INGESTION',
    },
  )

  console.log(result.objectKey, file.emailMeta.isTranscript)
}

Error handling

Use StorageCoreError.code for programmatic handling. Do not match provider error message text. Errors also expose operation, retryable, timestamp, userMessage, and toJSON() for safe API responses or structured logs.

Available error codes are INVALID_INPUT, UNSUPPORTED_PROVIDER, CONFIGURATION_ERROR, AUTHENTICATION_ERROR, NOT_FOUND, TIMEOUT, SOURCE_ERROR, STORAGE_ERROR, STREAM_ERROR, EVENT_PUBLISH_ERROR, and UNKNOWN_ERROR.

import { StorageCoreError, listNewFiles } from '@dilipabc/storage-core'

try {
  await listNewFiles(input)
  } catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof StorageCoreError) {
    console.error(error.toJSON())
    switch (error.code) {
      case 'CONFIGURATION_ERROR':
      case 'INVALID_INPUT':
        console.error('Fix configuration or request input:', error.message)
        break
      case 'UNSUPPORTED_PROVIDER':
        console.error('Provider is not supported:', error.message)
        break
      default:
        console.error('Storage operation failed:', error.message)
    }
  }
  throw error
}

Provider support

| Capability | Implemented | Provider values | |---|---:|---| | Source reader | yes | FTP, SFTP, MINIO, S3, GCP, AZURE | | Email listing/attachment extraction | yes | EMAIL | | Landing writer | yes | MINIO, S3 | | Landing writer placeholder | no | GCP, AZURE |

Email attachments and generated transcripts are buffered during listing; callers should use the returned emailMeta.bufferedContent rather than call readFromSource for email files.

Generated email transcript filenames use the format email-transcript-{timestamp}-uid-{imapUid}.pdf. Attachment filenames use their sanitized original name with a timestamp, IMAP UID, and attachment index added before the extension.

Build

npm install
npm run typecheck
npm run build

The package reads landing credentials from the caller process. MinIO uses MINIO_ENDPOINT, MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, MINIO_SECRET_KEY, and MINIO_BUCKET. S3 uses AWS_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_BUCKET; AWS_ENDPOINT is optional for S3-compatible endpoints.

See docs/STORAGE_CORE_TECHNICAL_GUIDE.md for the complete API, credential contracts, provider behavior, email flow, object-key format, and Kafka event contract. See docs/NPM_PUBLISHING_GUIDE.md for the complete npmjs publishing and release process.

Publish

Authenticate with npm, verify the package contents, and publish the scoped package publicly:

npm login
npm run typecheck
npm pack --dry-run
npm publish --access public

prepublishOnly automatically runs typecheck and build before publishing. Increment version before each release, for example with npm version patch, npm version minor, or npm version major.
