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 🙏

Connect/Express middleware for serving webp images when support is detected

Readme

Installation

$ npm install accept-webp

Usage

var acceptWebp = require('accept-webp');
var express = require('express'); 
var app = express();

var staticPath = __dirname + '/static';

app.use(acceptWebp(staticPath, ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png']));
app.use(express.static(staticPath));

Warning: accept-webp should be used before any middleware that is serving files (e.g. express.static) so that they know to serve the webp format file.

Overview

This is a piece of middlewear that can be used with Express and Connect.

This middlewear first looks at the Accept header of the HTTP request, and searches for image/webp. If the search is successful, it checks the filesystem for a file of the same name but with the .webp extension (myImage.webp instead of myImage.jpg). If it exists, req.url is changed so that other middleware (e.g. express.static) will serve webp format.
req.originalUrl is unchanged (unlike the pre-forked version), so all future middlewear can rely on the integrity of the originalUrl property.

Also upon success, the Vary header is set to Accept so that caching proxies can distingiuish which content to load for the same requested url.

The first argument of accept-webp (required) is the path to your static assets on the filesystem. It should generally be the same path that you pass to express.static. The second argument (optional) is either a single file extension (string) or a list of file extensions (array) for accept-webp to act upon.
accept-webp will not touch requests for file formats that are not in this list. If this argument is omitted, it defaults to ['jpg', 'png', 'jpeg'].

Why the fork?

  • I didn't like the idea of parsing the User Agent string to determine file format support.
  • I wanted the ability to define which file formats are looked at, and which are ignored
  • The original version didn't allow the module to be used on multiple apps/routers each with different static file paths in Express. In other words, it shared the same path argument across each instance of the middlewear.
  • The old version overwrote the Vary HTTP header, this one appends to it, so it's now more compatible with other modules such as (compression)[https://github.com/expressjs/compression].
