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 🙏

Readme

#Hijacked Have you ever wanted to override a dependencythat is used by an NPM module that you are trying to test? Did you try Horaa, and think 'This thing is great. Now if only I could handle the constructor based function as well.'.

Well, here you go. This is a very small library that enables you to override any npm required module that your target module is depending on. All you need to do is to hijack the indended module before your target module requires in the module you want to hijack. This is for entire NPM modules only. If you only want to hijack a child function on a module, look at Horaa, as it seems to do that very well.

##Usage

it('should execute the real module, then the hijacked one, then the real one again.', function(done) {
	var request = require('request');

	// Test the real module
	request('http://www.google.com', function(err, res, data) {
		res.statusCode.should.equal(200);

		// Hijack it
		var hijackedRequest = new Hijacked('request', function(url, options, callback) {
			callback.call(this, null, { statusCode: 200 }, 'Responded with success.');
		});

		request = require('request');
		request('url', {"options": "options go here"}, function(err, res, data) {
			data.should.equal('Responded with success.');
			res.statusCode.should.equal(200);

			hijackedRequest.restore();
			hijackedRequest.isHijacked.should.be.false;

			// Now check the original function to ensure it still works in the 'undone' state.
			request = require('request');
			request('http://www.google.com', function(err, res, data) {
				res.statusCode.should.equal(200);
				done();
			});

		});

	});
});
