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 🙏

"Buy Me A Beer"

Install

npm install node-red-contrib-dvla-api

This dvla-api node can be used to obtain vehicle information from regiration plates from United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland.

You have the availability of built-in modules which can be used to peridocially trigger the dvla-control module.

The node red module allows you to add a list of number plates, set up through the configuration node and queries each of these for you.

The node also takes the users API Key to query the DVLA API via a configuration node.

Dashboard Node - Generates a dashboard with your preset regirstrations and allows you to setup a route and a port. Error handling is poor on this at the moment so if it fails then select a new port and restart NodeRed

The output from the node module returns an array of JSON objects like the below example:

{
  "artEndDate": "2025-02-28",
  "co2Emissions" : 135
  "colour" : "BLUE"
  "engineCapacity": 2494,
  "fuelType" : "PETROL"
  "make" : "ROVER"
  "markedForExport" : false
  "monthOfFirstRegistration" : "2004-12"
  "motStatus" : "No details held by DVLA"
  "registrationNumber" : "ABC1234"
  "revenueWeight" : 1640
  "taxDueDate" : "2007-01-01"
  "taxStatus" : "Untaxed"
  "typeApproval" : "N1"
  "wheelplan" : "NON STANDARD"
  "yearOfManufacture" : 2004
  "euroStatus": "EURO 6 AD"
  "realDrivingEmissions": "1"
  "dateOfLastV5CIssued": "2016-12-25"
}
