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 🙏

Next.js integration for Stow file storage

Readme

@howells/stow-next

Next.js integration for Stow file storage. Includes route handler helpers and an image loader for next/image.

Installation

npm install @howells/stow-next @howells/stow-server
# or
pnpm add @howells/stow-next @howells/stow-server
# or
yarn add @howells/stow-next @howells/stow-server

Quick Start

1. Create an upload route

// app/api/upload/route.ts
import { createUploadHandler } from "@howells/stow-next";
import { StowServer } from "@howells/stow-server";

const stow = new StowServer(process.env.STOW_API_KEY!);

export const POST = createUploadHandler({
  stow,
  maxSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
  allowedTypes: ["image/*", "application/pdf"],
});

2. Use with @howells/stow-react

// app/page.tsx
import { UploadDropzone } from "@howells/stow-react";

export default function Page() {
  return <UploadDropzone endpoint="/api/upload" onUploadComplete={(files) => console.log(files)} />;
}

Route Handler

createUploadHandler(config)

Creates a Next.js route handler for file uploads.

import { createUploadHandler } from "@howells/stow-next";

export const POST = createUploadHandler({
  // Required: Stow server instance
  stow: new StowServer(process.env.STOW_API_KEY!),

  // Optional: File restrictions
  maxSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // Max file size in bytes
  allowedTypes: ["image/*", ".pdf"], // Allowed MIME types or extensions
  route: "uploads", // Default route/folder

  // Optional: Custom validation
  validate: async (file) => {
    if (file.name.includes("secret")) {
      return "Filename not allowed";
    }
    return true;
  },

  // Optional: Lifecycle hooks
  onUploadBegin: async (file) => {
    console.log(`Starting upload: ${file.name}`);
  },
  onUploadComplete: async (result) => {
    console.log(`Uploaded: ${result.url}`);
    // Save to database, etc.
  },
});

Image Loader

Use Stow's image transformation with Next.js Image component.

Setup

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  images: {
    loader: "custom",
    loaderFile: "./lib/stow-loader.ts",
  },
};
// lib/stow-loader.ts
import { stowLoader } from "@howells/stow-next/image-loader";
export default stowLoader;

Usage

import Image from "next/image";

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="https://stow.sh/files/bucket-id/image.jpg"
      alt="My image"
      width={800}
      height={600}
      quality={80}
    />
  );
}

Custom Loader Config

// lib/stow-loader.ts
import { createStowLoader } from "@howells/stow-next/image-loader";

export default createStowLoader({
  baseUrl: "https://stow.sh",
  defaultQuality: 80,
  defaultFormat: "webp",
});

TypeScript

import type { UploadHandlerConfig, StowLoaderConfig } from "@howells/stow-next";

Complete Example

// app/api/upload/route.ts
import { createUploadHandler } from "@howells/stow-next";
import { StowServer } from "@howells/stow-server";
import { db } from "@/lib/db";
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth";

const stow = new StowServer(process.env.STOW_API_KEY!);

export const POST = createUploadHandler({
  stow,
  maxSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024,
  allowedTypes: ["image/jpeg", "image/png", "image/webp"],

  validate: async (file) => {
    const session = await auth();
    if (!session) return "Unauthorized";
    return true;
  },

  onUploadComplete: async (result) => {
    const session = await auth();
    await db.insert(files).values({
      key: result.key,
      url: result.url,
      userId: session!.user.id,
    });
  },
});
