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 🙏

HTTP Server

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

HTTP server.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/net-http-server

Usage

var httpServer = require( '@stdlib/net-http-server' );

httpServer( [options,] [ requestListener] )

Returns a function to create an HTTP server.

var createServer = httpServer();

To bind a request callback to a server, provide a requestListener.

function requestListener( request, response ) {
    console.log( request.url );
    response.end( 'OK' );
}

var createServer = httpServer( requestListener );

The function accepts the following options:

  • port: server port. Default: 0 (i.e., randomly assigned).
  • maxport: max server port when port hunting. Default: maxport=port.
  • hostname: server hostname.
  • address: server address. Default: 127.0.0.1.

To specify server options, provide an options object.

var opts = {
    'port': 7331,
    'address': '0.0.0.0'
};

var createServer = httpServer( opts );

To specify a range of permissible ports, set the maxport option.

var opts = {
    'maxport': 9999
};

var createServer = httpServer( opts );

When provided a maxport option, a created server will search for the first available port on which to listen, starting from port.

createServer( done )

Creates an HTTP server.

function done( error, server ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( 'Success!' );
    server.close();
}

var createServer = httpServer();

createServer( done );

Notes

  • Port hunting can be useful in a microservice deployment. When a port is randomly assigned (options.port=0), if a server fails and is restarted, the server is unlikely to bind to its previous port. By allowing a constrained search, assuming no lower ports within a specified range have freed up in the meantime, the likelihood of listening on the same port is increased. A server can typically restart and bind to the same port faster than binding to a new port and re-registering with a microservice registry, thus minimizing possible service interruption and downtime.

Examples

var proc = require( 'process' );
var http = require( 'http' );
var httpServer = require( '@stdlib/net-http-server' );

function done( error, server ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    http.get( 'http://127.0.0.1:7331/beep/boop', onResponse );
}

function onResponse() {
    console.log( 'Success!' );
    proc.exit( 0 );
}

function onRequest( request, response ) {
    console.log( request.url );
    response.end( 'OK' );
}

// Specify server options...
var opts = {
    'port': 7331,
    'maxport': 9999,
    'hostname': 'localhost'
};

// Create a function for creating an HTTP server...
var createServer = httpServer( opts, onRequest );

// Create a server:
createServer( done );
