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 🙏

Readme

non-private-ip

Picks the first reasonable looking IP address from network interfaces. This should just work when running on a VPS, but also provides private APIs so that when running in LAN you get the first reasonable looking LAN IP address.

More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

Your laptop probably does not have a non-local IP address, but your VPS server probably does. This just returns the first address, which will probably be IPv4.

This module is based on the "ip" module.

API

The main export is a function nonPrivateIP(interfaces, filter, details) where:

  • interfaces is either null or a mock of os.networkInterfaces(), typically this should be null
  • filter is a function of the shape (address, details) => boolean where address is the IP address as a string, and details is the whole object with additional fields, e.g. address, netmask, family, mac, cidr, etc
  • details is a boolean that controls whether you want the return of the function to be just the IP address as a string (false, this is the default) or the whole object with additional fields (true)
// On a VPS:
const nonPrivateIP = require('non-private-ip')
nonPrivateIP() // 80.78.25.153
// In a LAN:
const nonPrivateIP = require('non-private-ip')
nonPrivateIP.private() // 192.168.0.101
