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

DatD - Dat Daemon

NPM Version NPM Downloads Build Status js-happiness-style

DatD is a daemon for keeping track and hosting Dat Archives. It is mainly a cli tool, but also is packaged for use in your applications.

Install

$ npm install --save @wesleytodd/datd

Usage

Basic usage will start a datd process on localhost:29101 and open a database in your working directory .db:

$ datd

Once the daemon is started, you can begin sending it commands, for example, lets create a new dat in our home director:

$ mkdir ~/test
$ datd create ~/test
┌───────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Path          │ test                                                             │
├───────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Key           │ 467f50218b5d2f86203ba1372f11f966e75c5a0040d9d14dddbff62f53572ad4 │
├───────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Discovery Key │ 2aabc18fe138104822fe6f395ec8165d9cfe1942bbca1bbc40dd3acd4962787e │
├───────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Owner?        │ true                                                             │
├───────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Live?         │ true                                                             │
└───────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

As you can see, it created a dat for you which you can access at dat://467f50218b5d2f86203ba1372f11f966e75c5a0040d9d14dddbff62f53572ad4 in a browser like Beaker.

Now that you have a dat in there, you can see a list of dats currently managed by the daemon:

$ datd ls
┌───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬────────┬───────┐
│ Path              │ Key                                                              │ Discovery Key                                                    │ Owner? │ Live? │
├───────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼────────┼───────┤
│ test/             │ 467f50218b5d2f86203ba1372f11f966e75c5a0040d9d14dddbff62f53572ad4 │ 2aabc18fe138104822fe6f395ec8165d9cfe1942bbca1bbc40dd3acd4962787e │ true   │ true  │
└───────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴────────┴───────┘

TODO: this is a work in progress, more commands to come

  1. Remove dat
  2. Start/Stop serving a dat
  3. Conslidate to one discovery-swarm
  4. Replicate other dats from the net
  5. ...

Development

The tests can be run with npm test, which also runs the linter and any other builds steps for the module. When a release is ready, use npm to bump the version:

$ npm version minor
$ npm publish

A post publish script pushes the work and the tags. Pull requests should be made against master or the currently active development branch.
