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 🙏

Cookie authentication strategy for Passport

This module lets you authenticate HTTP requests using cookies, it only allows you to recover the content of a cookie.

By plugging into Passport, bearer token support can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express..

Install

$ npm install passport-cookie

Usage

Configure Strategy

The cookie authentication strategy authenticates users using a cookie. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts that credential and calls done providing a user.

passport.use(new CookieStrategy(
  function(token, done) {
    User.findByToken({ token: token }, function(err, user) {
      if (err) { return done(err); }
      if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
      return done(null, user);
    });
  }
));

You can pass the following options to the CookieStrategy:

- `cookieName`: Cookie name (defaults to "token")
- `signed`: Are the cookie signed? (defaults to false)
- `passReqToCallback`: when `true`, `req` is the first argument to the verify callback (default: `false`)
passport.use(new CookieStrategy({
  cookieName: 'auth',
  signed: true,
  passReqToCallback: true
}, function(req, token, done) {
  User.findByToken({ token: token }, function(err, user) {
    if (err) { return done(err); }
    if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
    return done(null, user);
  });
})

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'cookie' strategy, to authenticate requests. Requests containing cookies do not require session support, so the session option can be set to false.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get("/profile",
  passport.authenticate("cookie", { session: false }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.json(req.user);
  });

Tests

$ npm install
$ npm test

Thanks

Thanks to Jared Hanson for his great Passport
