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 🙏

is-localhost-ip

Comprehensive and robust library to checks whether given host name or IPv4/IPv6 address belongs to the local machine

Main difference from other libraries here is comprehensiveness: we start from strict RegExp checks (for IP address first, and then for correctness to be a host name), then fallback to DNS resolver (so it works with something like john.dev remapped locally in hosts or with local resolver).

All this in just ~100 lines of code without external dependencies.

Installation

npm i is-localhost-ip
# or
yarn add is-localhost-ip

Example

const isLocalhost = require('is-localhost-ip');

(async () => {
  await isLocalhost('127.0.0.1'); // true
  await isLocalhost('::ffff:127.0.0.1'); // true
  await isLocalhost('192.168.0.12'); // true
  await isLocalhost('192.168.0.12', true); // true only if the local machine has an interface with that address
  await isLocalhost('184.55.123.2'); // false

  await isLocalhost('tino.local'); // true
  await isLocalhost('localhost'); // true
  await isLocalhost('microsoft.com'); // false
})();

Caveats

Doesn't work with internationalized (RFC 3492 or RFC 5891) domain names. If you need that please use wonderful Punycode.js to convert the string before passing to this library:

const isLocalhost = require('is-localhost-ip');
const punycode = require('punycode');

(async () => {
  await isLocalhost(punycode.toASCII('свобода.рф')); // false
  await isLocalhost(punycode.toASCII('私の.家')); // true
})();
