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

pouchdb.mapreduce.noeval

Fork of the PouchDB map/reduce project which avoids using eval(). Thus, it allows using PouchDB in environments with a strict policy against dynamic script evaluation, such as Chrome Packaged Apps or Adobe AIR runtime.

Note that this kind of treatment is not technically required for Chrome Extensions or (now deprecated) Chrome Apps using manifest in version 1. For these kind of applications, the content security policy can be relaxed. However, although this will allow you to use eval(), it also requires putting the page in a sandbox, which renders PouchDB unusable, since sandboxed pages don't have access to IndexedDB.

Using this plugin is effectively the only way to use PouchDB in a packaged app without putting the original MapReduce plugin in a sandbox and setting a wrapper around it to communicate with the rest of library via window.postMessage() calls.

This plugin works by running a simple regex over your map functions, so it only works for basic usages. The most complex kind of map function you can do is e.g.

function(doc) {
  if (doc.type === 'person') {
    emit(doc.name, 1);
  }
}

reduce functions are not supported. Your mileage may vary; this is mostly a quick-and-dirty solution so you can start using things like design docs for secondary indexes (which require string evaluation; there's no way around it).

This plugin will also fall back to the regex only if eval() throws an error, so you can still use it as-is in environments that support eval().

Usage

To use this plugin, include it after pouchdb.js in your HTML page:

<script src="pouchdb.js"></script>
<script src="pouchdb.mapreduce.noeval.js"></script>

This plugin is also available from Bower:

bower install pouchdb.mapreduce.noeval

Or to use it in Node.js, just npm install it:

npm install pouchdb.mapreduce.noeval

And then attach it to the PouchDB object:

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb');
PouchDB.plugin(require('pouchdb.mapreduce.noeval'));

Building

npm run build

Testing

In Node

Run tests with npm test and coverage of tests with npm test --coverage install dependencies with npm install

If you have mocha installed globally you can run single test with:

TEST_DB=local mocha --reporter spec --grep search_phrase

In TEST_DB environment variable specify database that PouchDB should use (see package.json)

In the browser

Run npm run dev and then point your favorite browser to http://127.0.0.1:8001/test/index.html.
