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

httpCache

We use many HTTP/HTTPS APIs, so I've created this to store HTTP/HTTPS calls in a cache folder for a period of time (ttl).

If there are permission issues, httpCache will not fail, and will instead just run the HTTP request (check isCached and wasCached properties on a successful call)

The current config options are 'ttl' (time to live) and 'cacheDir' (self explanitory).

You can call a URL with an Object or a String (see Node's http.request()

See examples directory for usage (try them).

Examples and Source are written in Javascript and CoffeeScript (independant of each other)

If you use this project, please contribute.

The number one contribution right now would be an update to this README.md file, with simple usage instructions and information about the returned object.

Thanks, JD
