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

This module enhances apostrophe-caches, the standard caching mechanism of Apostrophe, to use Redis rather than MongoDB.

To use it, first npm install it in your project:

npm install --save apostrophe-caches-redis

Then configure your modules like this:

    'apostrophe-caches-redis': {
      // *NO* OPTIONS HERE
    },
    'apostrophe-caches': {
      // OPTIONS GO HERE - we are actually "improving" this standard module
      redis: {
        // options for the redis npm module go here
      }
    }

As usual with Redis, if you specify no options, it will connect to Redis on your local machine.

See the redis npm module documentation for more information about the options available under the redis property. Note that the prefix option defaults to the shortname of your project. This allows more than one Apostrophe site to easily share a Redis database. If you do not want any prefix in Redis, you can set prefix explicitly to false.

Very important: your Redis-specific options go in the configuration for apostrophe-caches, NOT apostrophe-caches-redis. This module enhances the capabilities of apostrophe-caches, and the rest of Apostrophe just sees apostrophe-caches as usual. See the source for a great example of how to ship similar improvements for other core Apostrophe modules.

Sessions in Redis

You can do that too, and it greatly reduces the load on MongoDB. You don't need this module for that. See storing sessions in Redis.
