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 🙏

proxy-addr

CI NPM version js-standard-style

Determine address of proxied request.

Forked from https://github.com/jshttp/proxy-addr to address https://github.com/jshttp/forwarded/pull/9.

Install

$ npm i @fastify/proxy-addr

API

var proxyaddr = require('@fastify/proxy-addr')

proxyaddr(req, trust)

Return the address of the request, using the given trust parameter.

The trust argument is a function that returns true if you trust the address, false if you don't. The closest untrusted address is returned.

proxyaddr(req, function (addr) { return addr === '127.0.0.1' })
proxyaddr(req, function (addr, i) { return i < 1 })

The trust arugment may also be a single IP address string or an array of trusted addresses, as plain IP addresses, CIDR-formatted strings, or IP/netmask strings.

proxyaddr(req, '127.0.0.1')
proxyaddr(req, ['127.0.0.0/8', '10.0.0.0/8'])
proxyaddr(req, ['127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0', '192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0'])

This module also supports IPv6. Your IPv6 addresses will be normalized automatically (i.e. fe80::00ed:1 equals fe80:0:0:0:0:0:ed:1).

proxyaddr(req, '::1')
proxyaddr(req, ['::1/128', 'fe80::/10'])

This module will automatically work with IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses as well to support node.js in IPv6-only mode. This means that you do not have to specify both ::ffff:a00:1 and 10.0.0.1.

As a convenience, this module also takes certain pre-defined names in addition to IP addresses, which expand into IP addresses:

proxyaddr(req, 'loopback')
proxyaddr(req, ['loopback', 'fc00:ac:1ab5:fff::1/64'])
  • loopback: IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses (like ::1 and 127.0.0.1).
  • linklocal: IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses (like fe80::1:1:1:1 and 169.254.0.1).
  • uniquelocal: IPv4 private addresses and IPv6 unique-local addresses (like fc00:ac:1ab5:fff::1 and 192.168.0.1).

When trust is specified as a function, it will be called for each address to determine if it is a trusted address. The function is given two arguments: addr and i, where addr is a string of the address to check and i is a number that represents the distance from the socket address.

proxyaddr.all(req, [trust])

Return all the addresses of the request, optionally stopping at the first untrusted. This array is ordered from closest to furthest (i.e. arr[0] === req.connection.remoteAddress).

proxyaddr.all(req)

The optional trust argument takes the same arguments as trust does in proxyaddr(req, trust).

proxyaddr.all(req, 'loopback')

proxyaddr.compile(val)

Compiles argument val into a trust function. This function takes the same arguments as trust does in proxyaddr(req, trust) and returns a function suitable for proxyaddr(req, trust).

var trust = proxyaddr.compile('loopback')
var addr = proxyaddr(req, trust)

This function is meant to be optimized for use against every request. It is recommend to compile a trust function up-front for the trusted configuration and pass that to proxyaddr(req, trust) for each request.
