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 🙏

ip-wiki

v2.0.0

Published

An IP address utility library for Wikipedia and NodeJS.

Readme

ip-wiki — IP Address Utility Library for Wikipedia and Node.js

Node.js CI npm version GitHub License node-current PRs Welcome

🐙 GitHub - 📦 npm - 📘 API Documentation

ip-wiki is a JavaScript library written in ES6 that provides classes for manipulating IP and CIDR addresses. As the name suggests, it was developed for use on Wikipedia (primarily front-end), but it also works as a Node.js module in back-end environments.

npm

Installation

npm install ip-wiki

If you only need type definitions:

npm install -D ip-wiki

Usage

NodeJS

In CommonJS:

const { IP, IPUtil } = require('ip-wiki');

In ES modules:

import { IP, IPUtil } from 'ip-wiki';

Then:

Intellisense for NodeJS projects.

Wikipedia

Load and import ja:MediaWiki:Gadget-ip-wiki.js. In this case, this package is for Intellisense. (You may also want to install types-mediawiki as a dev dependency.)

/**
 * @returns {JQueryPromise<import('ip-wiki')>}
 */
function getIpWiki() {
	const gadget = 'ext.gadget.ip-wiki';
	return mw.loader.using(gadget).then((req) => req(gadget));
}

getIpWiki().then((ipWiki) => {
	const { IP, IPUtil } = ipWiki;
	// ...
});

If a module named ip-wiki is not defined in the local Gadgets-definition, you may need to cross-wiki-load it:

/**
 * @returns {JQueryPromise<import('ip-wiki')>}
 */
function getIpWikiX() {
	const gadget = 'ext.gadget.ip-wiki';
	return mw.loader.getScript('https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?modules=' + gadget).then(() => {
		return mw.loader.using(gadget).then((req) => req(gadget));
	});
}

Then:

Intellisense for Wikipedia projects.

Class showcases

This library provides two main classes: the IP class and the static IPUtil class:

  • Use the IP class when you need to repeatedly manipulate the same IP address. This is more efficient than using IPUtil, as it avoids re-parsing the IP string.
  • Use the IPUtil class for one-off manipulations (i.e. when you don’t need to instantiate a class).

Class: IP

Suppose you want to retrieve the indexes of elements in the ipArr array that match the IP address 192.168.1.1:

const ip = IP.newFromText('192.168.1.1');
if (!ip) {
	return;
}
const ipArr = [
	'192.168.1.1/32',
	'::1',
	'192.168.001.001'
];
const indexes = ipArr.reduce(/** @param {number[]} acc */ (acc, ipStr, i) => {
	if (ip.equals(ipStr)) { // Not IPUtil.equals('192.168.1.1', ipStr)
		acc.push(i);
	}
	return acc;
}, []);
console.log(indexes); // [ 0, 2 ]

Class: IPUtil

Suppose you want to filter ipArr to include only IPv6 addresses:

const ipArr = [
	'192.168.1.1/32',
	'::1',
	'192.168.001.001'
];
const filtered = ipArr.filter((ip) => IPUtil.isIPv6(ip, true));
console.log(filtered); // [ '::1' ]

Suppose you want to extract an array of IPv6 CIDRs in their sanitized form:

const ipArr = [
	'foo',
	'192.168.1.0',
	'fd12:3456:789a:1::1',
	'fd12:3456:789a:0:0:0:0:0/48',
	'fd12:3456:789a:1::/64'
];
const ipv6Cidrs = ipArr.reduce(/** @param {string[]} acc */ (acc, ipStr) => {
	const sanitized = IPUtil.sanitize(ipStr, {
		capitalize: false,
		conditionPredicate: (version, isCidr) => version === 6 && isCidr
	});
	if (sanitized) {
		acc.push(sanitized);
	}
	return acc;
}, []);
console.log(ipv6Cidrs); // [ 'fd12:3456:789a:0:0:0:0:0/48', 'fd12:3456:789a:1:0:0:0:0/64' ]
