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 🙏

GraphQL Chain

Create GraphQL middleware that resembles how Express middleware works.

Install

yarn add graphql-chain

How to use

Step 1

Create middleware

const validationMiddleware: MiddlewareResolver = (
  next,
  parent,
  args,
  context,
  info
) => {
  if (args.name.length > 10) {
    throw new Error("too long");
  }

  return next();
};

It has access to all the regular parameters a resolver gets plus a next parameter at the beginning which you call and return to call the next middleware or resolver.

You don't always have to call the next middleware or resolver though. This can be helpful if you want create a caching middleware:

const cachingMiddleware: MiddlewareResolver = async (next, _, args) => {
  const data = await redis.get("hello:cache");
  if (data) {
    // found data in the cache, so return early
    console.log("CACHE HIT");
    return data;
  }
  // did not find data, so call the next middleware
  console.log("CACHE MISS");
  const result = await next();
  // set cache for next call
  await redis.set("hello:cache", result);
  return result;
};

You can also change the value of the arguments and then use them later

const getUserMiddleware: MiddlewareResolver = async (next, _, __, context) => {
  if (validToken(context.authToken)) {
    // you can add properties to context that you can use later
    context.user = await getUser(context.authToken);
  }

  return next();
};

So you can then have a middleware that checks the user

const authorizationMiddleware: MiddlewareResolver = (next, _, __, context) => {
  if (!context.user || !context.user.admin) {
    throw new Error("not authorized");
  }

  return next();
};

Step 2

Chain as many middlewares together as you like

import { chain } from "graphql-chain";

const helloMiddleware = chain([
  getUserMiddleware,
  authorizationMiddleware,
  validationMiddleware
]);

Step 3

Wrap the resolver you want the middleware to run on

const resolvers: IResolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: helloMiddleware((_, { name }) => `Hello ${name || "World"}`)
  }
};

The execution sequence will be getUserMiddleware -> authorizationMiddleware -> validationMiddleware -> hello
