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 🙏

if you want to run tests.

Usage

CouchDB setup

// load module
var couchDB = require('cradle_security')({
    debug: true,                // set true to see all log messages
    adminUsername: "admin",     // set your admin username
    adminPassword: "password"   // set your admin password
});

// setup the database
couchDB.setup({
    host: '127.0.0.1',          // CouchDB host (default localhost only)
    port: 5984,                 // CouchDB port
    cache: true,                // CouchDB cache
    timeout: 5000               // connection timeout
});

// create a new connection
conn = new (couchDB.Connection)({
    auth: {
        username: "admin",      // set your admin username
        password: "password"    // set your admin password
    }
});

Create new database with new user

db.createWithUser(
    "new_user",                 // username
    "new_user_password",        // password
    [ "admins" ],               // array of roles
    function (err, res) {       // callback
        console.log(res);       // it should be { ok: true } if no error occurred
    }
);

Create new user

db.addUser(
    "new_user",                 // username
    "new_user_password",        // password
    [ "admins" ],               // array of roles
    function (err, res) {       // callback
        console.log(res);       // it should seem
                                // { ok: true, id:
                                // 'org.couchdb.user:new_user',
                                // rev: '1-83d5aba64688501431753b7cc13d7578' }
                                // if no error occurred
    }
);

Delete user

db.delUser(
    "new_user",                 // username
    function (err, res) {       // callback
    console.log(res);           // it should seem
                                // { ok: true, id:
                                // 'org.couchdb.user:new_user',
                                // rev: '2-645980a99208ef5902cb216e5a49526e' }
                                // if no error occurred
    }
);

Add roles to the database

db.addRoles(
    [ "admins" ],               // array of admin roles
    [ "guests" ],               // array of member roles
    function (err, res) {       // callback
        console.log(res);       // it should be { ok: true } if no error occurred
