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 🙏

Angular

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import AmarWave from 'amarwave-js';

  }

    await this.ch.publish('message', { user: 'Angular User', text: this.text });
    this.text = '';
  }
}

Node.js

Works out of the box — no WebSocket polyfill needed.

  • Node.js 21+: uses the built-in global WebSocket
  • Node.js < 21: amarwave-js auto-injects the ws polyfill (install ws alongside)

ESM:

// app.mjs
import AmarWave from 'amarwave-js';

const aw = new AmarWave({
  appKey:    'YOUR_APP_KEY',
  appSecret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
  cluster:   'default',
  forceTLS:  true,
});

aw.connection.bind('connected', () => console.log('Connected:', aw.connection.socket_id));

const ch = aw.subscribe('public-chat');

ch.bind('subscribed', async () => {
  await ch.publish('message', { user: 'Server', text: 'Hello from Node.js!' });
});

ch.bind('message', (data) => console.log('📨', data));

CJS:

// app.cjs
const { AmarWave } = require('amarwave-js');

const aw = new AmarWave({
  appKey:    'YOUR_APP_KEY',
  appSecret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
  cluster:   'default',
  forceTLS:  true,
});

aw.connection.bind('connected', () => console.log('Connected:', aw.connection.socket_id));

const ch = aw.subscribe('public-chat');

ch.bind('subscribed', async () => {
  await ch.publish('message', { user: 'Server', text: 'Hello from Node.js!' });
});

ch.bind('message', (data) => console.log('📨', data));

Deno

No install needed — import directly from npm.

// app.ts
import AmarWave from 'npm:[email protected]';

const aw = new AmarWave({
  appKey:    'YOUR_APP_KEY',
  appSecret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
  cluster:   'default',
  forceTLS:  true,
});

aw.connection.bind('connected', () => console.log('Connected:', aw.connection.socket_id));

const ch = aw.subscribe('public-chat');

ch.bind('subscribed', async () => {
  await ch.publish('message', { user: 'Deno', text: 'Hello from Deno!' });
});

ch.bind('message', (data) => console.log('📨', data));
deno run --allow-net app.ts

Connection Events

aw.connection.bind('connecting',   () => console.log('Connecting…'));
aw.connection.bind('connected',    () => console.log('Connected:', aw.connection.socket_id));
aw.connection.bind('disconnected', () => console.log('Disconnected — retrying…'));
aw.connection.bind('error',        (e) => console.error('Error:', e.message));

// Read current state at any time
console.log(aw.connection.state);      // 'initialized' | 'connecting' | 'connected' | 'disconnected'
console.log(aw.connection.socket_id);  // string | null

Publishing Events

From the client:

// via channel
await ch.publish('message', { user: 'Alice', text: 'Hello!' });

// top-level shortcut
await aw.publish('public-chat', 'message', { user: 'Alice', text: 'Hello!' });

From the server (HTTP API):

curl -X POST https://amarwave.com/api/v1/trigger \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "app_key":    "YOUR_APP_KEY",
    "app_secret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
    "channel":    "public-chat",
    "name":       "message",
    "data":       { "user": "Server", "text": "Hello from server!" }
  }'

Channel Types

| Prefix | Type | Auth required | |---|---|---| | (none) | Public | No | | private- | Private | Yes — HMAC signed | | presence- | Presence | Yes — tracks members |

aw.subscribe('public-chat');     // public
aw.subscribe('private-orders');  // private — needs appSecret or authEndpoint
aw.subscribe('presence-lobby');  // presence — needs appSecret or authEndpoint

Configuration

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | appKey | string | — | App key (required) | | appSecret | string | — | App secret — for client-side HMAC auth | | cluster | string | "default" | "default" → amarwave.com | | forceTLS | boolean | false | Force wss:// + https:// | | apiPath | string | "/api/v1/trigger" | Trigger endpoint path | | wsPath | string | "/ws" | WebSocket upgrade path | | authEndpoint | string | "/broadcasting/auth" | Server URL for private/presence auth | | auth.headers | object | {} | Extra headers sent to auth endpoint | | maxRetries | number | 5 | Max reconnect attempts | | reconnectDelay | number | 1000 | Base delay ms (exponential backoff) | | maxReconnectDelay | number | 30000 | Max delay ms |
