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 🙏

Static Server

npm

Static Server is a simple, zero-configuration, command line HTTP server to serve static files locally.

Installation

This command line utility can be installed globally or locally within your project. It does make more sense to have it installed globally though, since it then can be use anywhere by simply starting it to serve the files located in the current folder.

> npm install -g @node-cli/static-server

Usage

> static-server [options] [path]

[path] defaults to the current folder if it's not provided at the command line prompt.

At that point, you should be able to visit http://localhost:8080 and see the files located in the current folder.

Options

| option | default | description | | -------------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | -c or --cache <number> | 0 | Time in seconds for caching files | | -C or --cors | false | Set CORS headers to * to allow requests from any origin | | -d or --dirs | true | List the directory's contents | | -h or --help | | Display help instructions | | --host | localhost | Change the default host address to bind to | | -H or --http2 | false | Enable HTTP/2 and SSL (https) | | -l or --logs | false | Log HTTP requests at the prompt | | -o or --open | false | Open in your default browser | | -p or --port <n> | 8080 | Port to listen on - Will try next available if already used | | -g or --gzip | true | Enable GZIP compression | | -v or --version | | Output the current version |

SSL support

SSL support is available by using the --http2 option. This will enable HTTP/2 and SSL (https). The server will use a self-signed certificate to serve the files. You will be prompted to accept the certificate when you visit the server in your browser.

If you have your own local certificates, for example by using mkcert, simply set the STATIC_SERVER_CERT and STATIC_SERVER_KEY environment variables to the path of your certificate and key files. In this case, you won't be prompted to accept the certificate.
