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 🙏

Node.js CAN bus bindings for busmust and Peak PCAN hardware.

Getting started

npm install --ignore-scripts
npm run build:ts

The --ignore-scripts flag avoids compiling the native addon when the vendor SDK libraries are not available on your machine. Once you configure the hardware SDKs, you can rebuild the native module with:

npm run build:native

API smoke tests

The repository now includes a small suite of Node.js tests that exercise the TypeScript wrapper around the native addon. The tests inject a mocked native binding so they do not require real hardware.

npm test

What the tests cover:

  • Argument forwarding from the JavaScript CANBus class to the native constructor.
  • send() delegation to the native instance.
  • Listener wiring for message and close events.
  • Static helper CANBus.isAvailable() and top-level isAvailable() utility.

Because the tests mock the native layer, they are suitable for CI environments that lack busmust or PCAN hardware. For end-to-end validation against actual interfaces, set ACE_CAN_CHANNEL, ACE_CAN_BUSTYPE, and ACE_CAN_BITRATE environment variables in your own integration scripts and exercise the real hardware using the same API shown in test/canbus-wrapper.test.cjs.
