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 🙏

github-webhooker

v1.0.1

Published

Node module to handle github webhooks.

Readme

github-webhooker

This catchy name hides node module to handle github webhooks, inspired from github-webhook-handler.

It's more like a library that will help you to handle github webhooks, all on the same URL.

Installation and usage

Just npm install github-webhooker --save and use it like the following example.

Example

var http = require('http');
var handler = require('github-webhooker');

var repos = [{name: 'repoName', 'secret': 'auth-secret'}];

repos.forEach(function(rawRepo) {
  handler.addRepository(rawRepo.name, rawRepo.secret);
});

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  handler.handle(req, res);
}).listen(9876);

handler.on('push', function (event) {
  console.log('push on ' + event.repository.name + ', branch' + event.request.getBranch());
});

handler.on('*', function (event) {
  console.log('something happens on ' + event.repository.name + ', ' + event.name);
});

Api

The only function of the handler[Handler] is addRepository, which allows you, as explicitely said in its name, add a repository.

The hanlder triggers events everytime a request is received from Github to a configured repository. The events emitted depends on those configured in your repositories webhooks. In addition, you have the wildcard event emitted *, which allows you to do whatever you want everytime a request is done, regardless of its type.

Event given to your callback will contains the following properties:

  • name: [string], the name of the event
  • repository: [Repository], the repository that triggered the webhook
  • request: [Request], the request of the webhook
