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 🙏

https-pem

Self-signed PEM key and certificate ready for use in your HTTPS server.

A dead simple way to get an HTTPS server running in development with no need to generate the self signed PEM key and certificate.

Build status js-standard-style

Installation

npm install https-pem

Warning: Upon installation a private key and a self signed certificate will be generated inside ./node_modules/https-pem. The certificate is valid for 365 days and no attempt have been made to make this secure in any way. I suggest only using this for testing and development where you just need an easy and quick way to run an HTTPS server with Node.js.

Example Usage

var https = require('https')
var pem = require('https-pem')

var server = https.createServer(pem, function (req, res) {
  res.end('This is servered over HTTPS')
})

server.listen(443, function () {
  console.log('The server is running on https://localhost')
})

Connecting

When connecting to an HTTPS server from Node.js that uses a self-signed certificate, https.request will normally emit an error and refuse to complete the reuqest. To get around that simply set the rejectUnauthorized option to false:

var opts = { rejectUnauthorized: false }

var req = https.request(opts, function (res) {
  // ...
})

req.end()

If using curl to connect to a Node.js HTTPS server using a self-signed certificate, use the -k option:

curl -k https://localhost:443

API

The https-pem module simply exposes an object with two properties: key and cert.

pem.key

The private key (RSA).

pem.cert

The certificate.
