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 🙏

exp-util

v0.0.0

Published

The official utility framework for express

Readme

The official framework for express which automatically creates express paths, redirects and custom listen() function!

Getting Started

Install the NPM package in your console or shell

npm install exp-util@latest

It's coding time!

The example code is right here:

const { createRedirect, createPath, listen } = require('exp-util');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 5000;

createRedirect({
  app: app, // You might be required to add 'app: app' in your path options since node-express dosen't actually use express in the module
  domain: 'example.com', // If blank, will throw an error
  slug: '', // If blank, the slug will be empty
  fwLinkSlug: '', // Changes the '/fwlink/?linkId=<any>' to '/<slug>/?linkId=<any>' (if blank, the follow link slug will turn into '/fwlink/?linkId=<any>' which is default)
  errorBodyMessage: '', // If blank, the error body message will turn into the default message
  linkId: 1 // If blank, will throw an error
});

createPath({
  app: app, // You might be required to add 'app: app' in your path options since node-express dosen't actually use express in the module
  path: '/', // If blank, will throw an error
  content: function(req, res) {
    res.send('Hello! This is a test with node-express!');
  } // If not a callback, will throw an error
});

listen(app, 5000); // Add the 'app' so the listen function still works! Amazing!

You can also use the listen() function if you want to have a [NODE-EXPRESS] custom built-in message!
