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 🙏

About

This is a fork of rpc-websockets The msgpack-rpc-websockets library enables developers to easily implement their business logic that includes messaging between users, machines or any devices. It provides a possibility to send and receive JSON data through the WebSocket communication protocol in order to support two-way notification push, running RPC methods and firing any types of event signalling. Only clients can call RPC methods and not vice versa at the moment. Both frontend (HTML/JS-based) and backend (Node.js-based) development environments are supported.

msgpack-rpc-websockets is built on Node.js and supports both LTS and Current versions.

Use the free OSS edition in order to implement and manage your own WebSocket server instances.

Quick start

Install our OSS library in your project:

npm install msgpack-rpc-websockets

Write your source code using msgpack-rpc-websockets:

var WebSocket = require("msgpack-rpc-websockets").Client;
var WebSocketServer = require("msgpack-rpc-websockets").Server;

// instantiate Server and start listening for requests
var server = new WebSocketServer({
  port: 8080,
  host: "localhost",
});

// register an RPC method
server.register("sum", function (params) {
  return params[0] + params[1];
});

// ...and maybe a protected one also
server
  .register("account", function () {
    return ["confi1", "confi2"];
  })
  .protected();

// create an event
server.event("feedUpdated");

// get events
console.log(server.eventList());

// emit an event to subscribers
server.emit("feedUpdated");

// close the server
server.close();

// instantiate Client and connect to an RPC server
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8080");

ws.on("open", function () {
  // call an RPC method with parameters
  ws.call("sum", [5, 3]).then(function (result) {
    require("assert").equal(result, 8);
  });

  // send a notification to an RPC server
  ws.notify("openedNewsModule");

  // subscribe to receive an event
  ws.subscribe("feedUpdated");

  ws.on("feedUpdated", function () {
    updateLogic();
  });

  // unsubscribe from an event
  ws.unsubscribe("feedUpdated");

  // login your client to be able to use protected methods
  ws.login({ username: "confi1", password: "foobar" })
    .then(function () {
      ws.call("account").then(function (result) {
        require("assert").equal(result, ["confi1", "confi2"]);
      });
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      console.log("auth failed");
    });

  // close a websocket connection
  ws.close();
});
