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 🙏

RESTUtils Helpers JS (restutils-helpers-js)

Completely optional helper functions for use with RESTUtils Host & RESTUtils Client

NOTICE: Move to ES6 Modules

With the release of RESTUtils Helpers v0.1.0 on July 6, 2023, the project was migrated from CommonJS to ES6 Modules. The CommonJS library version was moved to this project, restutils-helpers-js, with a matching version number. The new original project, still named restutils-helpers, is now built using ES6 modules.

Purpose

This optional package is designed to work with APIs and clients generated by the RESTUtils Host and RESTUtils Client utilities. Both utilities use this one under the covers and you are welcome to use it directly. Concepts such as error invocation and marshaling results are made easier by having one "helpers" library that you can use on both sides of the network.

Installation

There is no requirement to install this package to benefit from the RESTUtils Host and RESTUtils Client utilities. However, if you do want to use this package directly, unlike it's counterparts, it needs to be installed into your project...

npm i restutils-helpers

Usage

I'll add a few example snippets here once the first version is published.

Cleaner Node

Years ago I created a similar helper library, called "Cleaner Node". The goal was to create simplified shorthand for common functions to reduce the verbosity of syntax in Node projects; for example, validating objects and data types, generating UIDs, working with email addresses, and the like. Those patterns are followed here but with a bit more focus on the RESTUtils effort.
