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 🙏

Published

A simple library for encoding and decoding data with a key

Readme

Simple Encoder

A lightweight library for encoding and decoding data with a key that works in both browser and Node.js environments.

Installation

npm install simple-encoder

Usage

In Node.js

const { encode, decode } = require('simple-encoder');

// Encode data
const encoded = encode('Hello World', 'my-secret-key');
console.log('Encoded:', encoded);

// Decode data
const decoded = decode(encoded, 'my-secret-key');
console.log('Decoded:', decoded); // Hello World

In Browser

<script src="node_modules/simple-encoder/dist/index.js"></script>
<script>
  // Encode data
  const encoded = SimpleEncoder.encode('Hello World', 'my-secret-key');
  console.log('Encoded:', encoded);

  // Decode data
  const decoded = SimpleEncoder.decode(encoded, 'my-secret-key');
  console.log('Decoded:', decoded); // Hello World
</script>

Or using ES modules:

import { encode, decode } from 'simple-encoder';

// Encode data
const encoded = encode('Hello World', 'my-secret-key');
console.log('Encoded:', encoded);

// Decode data
const decoded = decode(encoded, 'my-secret-key');
console.log('Decoded:', decoded); // Hello World

API

encode(input, key)

Encodes the input string using the provided key.

Parameters:

  • input (string): The string to encode
  • key (string): The key to use for encoding

Returns:

  • (string): The encoded string

decode(encoded, key)

Decodes the encoded string using the provided key.

Parameters:

  • encoded (string): The encoded string to decode
  • key (string): The key used for encoding

Returns:

  • (string): The decoded string

How it works

Simple Encoder uses a XOR-based algorithm to encode and decode strings securely. The key is repeated to match the length of the input, and each character in the input is XORed with the corresponding character in the key.
