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 🙏

hyperdiscovery

Old documentation below

This library is compatible with hypercore<=v7, which is now out of date.

build status

Join the p2p swarm for hypercore and hyperdrive. Uses discovery-swarm under the hood. Also works in web browsers using discovery-swarm-web.

This module only works

npm install hyperdiscovery

Usage

Run the following code in two different places and they will replicate the contents of the given ARCHIVE_KEY.

var hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
var hypercore = require('hypercore')
var Discovery = require('hyperdiscovery')

var archive = hyperdrive('./database', 'ARCHIVE_KEY')
var discovery = Discovery(archive)
discovery.on('connection', function (peer, type) {
  console.log('got', peer, type)
  console.log('connected to', discovery.connections, 'peers')
  peer.on('close', function () {
    console.log('peer disconnected')
  })
})

// add another archive/feed later
var feed = hypercore('./feed')
discovery.add(feed) // adds this hypercore feed to the same discovery swarm

Will use discovery-swarm to attempt to connect peers. Uses dat-swarm-defaults for peer introduction defaults on the server side, which can be overwritten (see below).

The module can also create and join a swarm for a hypercore feed:

var hypercore = require('hypercore')
var Discovery = require('hyperdiscovery')

var feed = hypercore('/feed')
var discovery = Discovery(feed)

API

var discovery = Discovery(archive, opts)

Join the p2p swarm for the given feed. The return object, discovery, is an event emitter that will emit a peer event with the peer information when a peer is found.

discovery.add(archive, [opts])

Add an archive/feed to the discovery swarm. Options will be passed to discovery-swarm. If you pass opts.announce as a falsy value you don't announce your port (discover-only mode).

discovery.totalConnections

Get length of the list of total active connections, across all archives and feeds.

discovery.leave(discoveryKey)

Leave discovery for a specific discovery key.

discovery.rejoin(discoveryKey)

Rejoin discovery for a discovery key (*must be added first using discovery.add).

discovery.close()

Exit the swarm, close all replication streams.

Options
  • stream: function, replication stream for connection. Default is archive.replicate({live, upload, download}).
  • upload: bool, upload data to the other peer?
  • download: bool, download data from the other peer?
  • port: port for discovery swarm
  • utp: use utp in discovery swarm
  • tcp: use tcp in discovery swarm
  • bootstrap: [string], WebRTC bootstrap signal servers for web
  • discovery: string, discovery-swarm-stream server for web

Defaults from datland-swarm-defaults can also be overwritten:

  • dns.server: DNS server
  • dns.domain: DNS domain
  • dht.bootstrap: distributed hash table bootstrapping nodes

Debugging

Set DEBUG='*' in the environment to enable debugging output inside discovery-swarm.
