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 🙏

Getting Started


var banishbot = require('banishbot');
var username = 'TheDoctor'; // Required
var apiKey = 'abc-123-Th1s-Is-My-K3y'; // Required
var pii = true; // Optional

Using Promises

Check if an item has been banished:


banishbot.checkBanishment(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', pii).then(function(result) {
  // Success Result
  console.log(result);
  // {"Banished":false,"BanishedItem":"[email protected]"}
})
.fail(function (error) {
  // Error Something died, here is the response
  console.log(error);
});

Banish a new item:

var pii = true; // Optional
banishPayload = {
  banished: true // Required
  type: 'email' // This is optional
  notes: 'These are my optional notes' // This is optional
};
banishbot.banishNewItem(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', banishPayload, pii).then(function(result) {
  // Success Result
  console.log(result);
  // { success: true, username: 'TheDoctor' }
  //{ statusCode: '409', body: { Reason: 'This item is already banished, please check the state of the item in a new request.' } }
})
.fail(function (error) {
  // Error Something died, here is the response
  console.log(error);
});

Update an existing item:

var pii = true; // Optional
banishPayload = {
  banished: true // Required
  notes: 'These are my optional notes' // This is optional
};
banishbot.updateBanishedItem(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', banishPayload, pii).then(function(result) {
  // Success Result
  console.log(result);
  //{ success: true, username: 'TheDoctor' }
})
.fail(function (error) {
  // Error Something died, here is the response
  console.log(error);
});

Delete an item:

var pii = true; // Optional

banishbot.deleteItemFromBanishBot(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', pii).then(function(result) {
  // Success Result
  console.log(result);
  //{"Success":true,"Message":"[email protected] has been deleted","Username":"TheDoctor"}
})
.fail(function (error) {
  // Error Something died, here is the response
  console.log(error);
});

Using Error first callback

Check if an item has been banished:

var pii = true; // Optional
banishbot.checkBanishment(username, apiKey, '[email protected]',pii, function (error, result) {
  console.log(result);
  //{"Banished":false,"BanishedItem":"[email protected]"}
});

Banish a new item:

var pii = true; // Optional
banishPayload = {
  banished: true // Required
  type: 'email' // This is optional
  notes: 'These are my optional notes' // This is optional
};
banishbot.banishNewItem(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', banishPayload, pii, function (error, result) {
  console.log(result);
  //{ success: true, username: 'TheDoctor' }
  //{ statusCode: '409', body: { Reason: 'This item is already banished, please check the state of the item in a new request.' } }
});

Update an existing item:

var pii = true; // Optional
banishPayload = {
  banished: true // Required
  notes: 'These are my optional notes' // This is optional
};
banishbot.updateBanishedItem(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', banishPayload, pii, function (error, result) {
  console.log(result);
  //{ success: true, username: 'TheDoctor' }
});

Delete an item:

var pii = true; // Optional
banishbot.deleteItemFromBanishBot(username, apiKey, '[email protected]', pii, function (error, result) {
  console.log(result);
  //{"Success":true,"Message":"[email protected] has been deleted","Username":"TheDoctor"}
});
