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 🙏

About

React Daraja is a typesafe Javascript library designed to simplify interactions with the Safaricom Daraja API. This library is suitable for both Node.js and React environments, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate M-Pesa payments into their applications.

Installation

To install React Daraja, run the following command in your project's terminal:

  npm install daraja-kit

Getting Started

Copy over the .env.local file into a .env file using the following command.

cp .env.local .env

Before using the library, make sure to set up the required environment variables in the .env file. These variables include:

  • ENVIRONMENT: Set the environment to either "production" or "development."

  • MPESA_CONSUMER_KEY: Consumer Key obtained from Safaricom Daraja.

  • MPESA_CONSUMER_SECRET: Consumer Secret obtained from Safaricom Daraja.

  • MPESA_BUSINESS_SHORT_CODE: Your M-Pesa business short code. For Sandbox use the code 174379

  • MPESA_TRANSACTION_TYPE: Set the transaction type, either "CustomerPayBillOnline" or "CustomerBuyGoodsOnline."

  • MPESA_API_PASS_KEY: Your M-Pesa API pass key. For sandbox use bfb279f9aa9bdbcf158e97dd71a467cd2e0c893059b10f78e6b72ada1ed2c919

The library throws errors if any of this values are missing from your .env file.

Benefits

  • Cached access tokens to minimize network requests and improve performance.
  • Way simpler API over using daraja on your own.
  • Open source!
  • Slow integration. You don`t have to hot swap this library. You can easily integrate it to your app.
  • More Util Functions. If you need to generate passwords if you have decided to slowly integrate the app offers helper functions to help you move along nicely. e.g generateTimestamp and generatePassword.

Compatibility

React Daraja is compatible with Node.js and React environments. It provides a simple interface for initiating M-Pesa transactions using the Safaricom Daraja API.

Some APIs are exclusively for Node Environments and some are just React Components so are only used in react.

License

This library is licensed under the MIT License. Feel free to contribute or open issues on the GitHub repository. More APIs and components coming. Watch this repo for alerts.
