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 🙏

📦 Installation

# npm
npm install nest-shared

# yarn  
yarn add nest-shared

# pnpm
pnpm add nest-shared

📋 Requirements

  • Node.js: >= 20.18.1
  • TypeScript: >= 5.9
  • npm: >= 10.8.2

🚀 Quick Start

ES Modules (Recommended)

import { configService, generateAPIKey, encode } from 'nest-shared';

// Configuration
const port = configService.getPort();

// Cryptography
const apiKey = generateAPIKey({ str: 'my-app', prefix: 'app', size: 32 });
const encoded = encode({ text: 'hello world' });

CommonJS

const { configService, generateAPIKey, encode } = require('nest-shared');

const port = configService.getPort();
const apiKey = generateAPIKey({ str: 'my-app', prefix: 'app', size: 32 });
const encoded = encode({ text: 'hello world' });

📖 Usage Examples

Configuration Management

import { configService } from 'nest-shared';

const port = configService.getPort(); // Default: 4000
const nodeEnv = configService.getNodeEnv(); // 'development' | 'production' | 'test'
const customValue = configService.get('CUSTOM_KEY', 'default-value');

Framework Integration

// Express.js
import express from 'express';
import { configService } from 'nest-shared';

const app = express();
const port = configService.getPort();

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`🚀 Server running on port ${port}`));

// Fastify
import Fastify from 'fastify';
const fastify = Fastify({ logger: true });
await fastify.listen({ port: configService.getPort() });

Constants

import { NODE_PORT, CACHE_TTL, VALID_UUID_REGEX } from 'nest-shared';

console.log('Port:', NODE_PORT); // 4000
console.log('Cache TTL:', CACHE_TTL); // 3600
console.log('UUID Valid:', VALID_UUID_REGEX.test('28aebbd6-173b-4375-99eb-56dc04ec2bcb'));

Cryptographic Utilities

import { generateAPIKey, encode, decode, randomUUID, validateUUID } from 'nest-shared';

// API Key Generation
const apiKey = generateAPIKey({ str: 'my-app', prefix: 'app', size: 32 });
// app_3f4a9b2c1d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o

// Base64 Encoding
const encoded = encode({ text: 'Hello World!' }); // SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh
const decoded = decode({ text: encoded }); // Hello World!

// UUID Utilities
const uuid = randomUUID(); // f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
const isValid = validateUUID(uuid); // true

Helper Functions

import { RandomNumber, sum, formatDate, addDays, axiosErrorHandler } from 'nest-shared';

// Math
const random = RandomNumber(1, 100);
const total = sum([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); // 15

// Time
const today = new Date();
const formatted = formatDate(today, 'YYYY-MM-DD');
const futureDate = addDays(today, 7);

// HTTP
const response = await axios.get('/api/data').catch(axiosErrorHandler);

Buffer Base Implementation

import { BufferBase } from 'nest-shared';
import { Buffer } from 'buffer';

class CustomBuffer implements BufferBase {
  encode(data: string | Buffer): string {
    return Buffer.from(data).toString('base64');
  }
  
  decode(str: string): string {
    return Buffer.from(str, 'base64').toString('utf-8');
  }
}
