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 🙏

Browser-safe protocol, addressing and dial planning primitives for p2p-netcat

Readme

@santaklouse/p2p-netcat-core

English | Русский

The interaction between the library, CLI, and browser Worker is documented in docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

The browser-safe shared core of p2p-netcat. The package does not use Node.js APIs and can be imported by the CLI, a Web Worker, and other JavaScript clients.

The package owns:

  • logical ports and protocol IDs;
  • PeerId and multiaddr normalization;
  • relay address validation;
  • Circuit Relay dial-plan construction;
  • browser-compatible address detection;
  • a shared transport preference order.

Creating a libp2p node, querying the DHT, Web Worker RPC, and stdin/stdout remain in platform-specific packages.

Exported API

| Function | Purpose | |---|---| | validateService(value) | Validates a logical port in the 1..65535 range | | protocolForService(service) | Builds /p2p-netcat/1.0.0/{service} | | normalizePeerId(value) | Validates and canonicalizes a PeerId | | normalizeMultiaddr(value) | Validates and canonicalizes a multiaddr | | normalizeRelayAddress(value, options) | Applies relay, WS/WSS, and secure-context checks | | relayedTargetAddress(relay, peerId, options) | Returns the target Circuit Relay multiaddr | | createRelayDialPlan(input) | Returns an immutable dial plan | | browserDialableAddress(address, options) | Checks whether a browser can dial an address | | addressRank(address) | Returns a numeric transport rank | | preferDialAddresses(a, b) | Comparator for sorting multiaddrs | | trysteroRoomId(peerId, service) | Builds the deterministic WebRTC room | | trysteroAuthPayload(...) | Builds a domain-separated signed challenge | | encodeTrysteroAuthResponse(...) | Encodes the public key and signature | | decodeTrysteroAuthResponse(...) | Validates and decodes the response | | TrysteroStream | Adapts an action channel to backpressure and EOF semantics |

The order is WebRTC Direct, QUIC v1, WebTransport, WSS, WS, TCP, other addresses, and Circuit Relay. A transport appearing in the common ranking does not imply that every runtime implements it.

The CLI and Web Worker use the library as a local npm dependency. The CLI path is file:packages/core; the web project uses file:../packages/core.

Example of constructing a shared dial plan:

import { createRelayDialPlan } from '@santaklouse/p2p-netcat-core'

const plan = createRelayDialPlan({
  peerId: '12D3KooWQ3uxpHgjDKE6vGmvzKS8RPbxUDLwJ7XCLaD6YXdUfbR9',
  service: 31337,
  relay: '/dns4/relay.example/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWEqeQRAJ61HSv9yMPk8yzjke7NxmTFcvFt4GzwXxzVjXW',
  requireWebSocket: true,
  secureContext: true
})

console.log(plan.destination)
console.log(plan.protocol)
