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 🙏

Readme

customFetch

The customFetch package provides a wrapper around the standard JavaScript fetch() function, with added functionality for custom headers and a base URL.

To use the package, first install it:

npm i @julienvanbeveren/custom-fetch --save

Now import it into your proejct:

import custom-fetch from "@julienvanbeveren/custom-fetch"

Next, create an options object with the base URL and any custom headers you want to include in all requests:

const options = {
  baseUrl: 'https://example.com',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
  }
}

Then, call customFetch() with your options object to create a new fetch() function with your custom settings:

const newFetch = customFetch(options)

You can now use the newFetch() function in the same way you would use the standard fetch() function, but with the added benefit of automatically included custom headers and a base URL.

For example, to make a GET request to https://example.com/data, you would use:

const response = await newFetch('/data')

You can also pass in any additional options as a second argument to newFetch(), such as a request body or custom headers for that specific request:

const body = JSON.stringify({ example: 'data' })
const response = await newFetch('/data', { method: 'POST', body })

You can also specify the type of the response data by passing the type parameter to newFetch function.

const response = await newFetch<MyType>('/data')

Overall, the customFetch package can be a useful tool for streamlining your API calls and making sure that custom headers are always included in your requests.
