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 🙏

safe-eval npm version Build Status

NOTE

safe-eval 0.3.0 and below are affected by a sandbox breakout vulnerability - NSP 337, CVE-2017-16088.

Version 0.4.0 fixes this vulnerability. It is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest version if you are using safe-eval for executing code not generated by yourself. Thanks @kauegimenes for the patch.

UPDATE 27/08/2018: There are still ways to crash the Node process, please use safe-eval only with content created by yourself or from trusted sources. User-submitted data should not be run through safe-eval. Thanks @cpcallen for the report.

What is this?

safe-eval lets you execute JavaScript code without having to use the much discouraged and feared upon eval(). safe-eval has access to all the standard APIs of the V8 JavaScript Engine. By default, it does not have access to the Node.js API, but can be given access using a context object. It is implemented using node's vm module.

Currently, it works only with Node.js, and the JavaScript code must be an expression (something which evaluates to a value).

Installation

npm install safe-eval-2 --save

Usage

var safeEval = require('safe-eval-2')

safeEval(code, [context], [options])

code is the JavaScript code you want to execute.

context is an object of methods and properties, these methods and properties are interpreted as global objects in code. Be careful about the objects you are passing to the context API, because they can completely defeat the purpose of safe-eval.

options is the options object for the vm executing the code.

Examples

// string concatenation
var code = '"app" + "le"'
var evaluated = safeEval(code) // "apple"
// math
var code = 'Math.floor(22/7)'
var evaluated = safeEval(code) // 3.142857142857143
// JSON
var code = '{name: "Borat", hobbies: ["disco dance", "sunbathing"]}'
var evaluated = safeEval(code) // {name: "Borat", hobbies: ["disco dance", "sunbathing"]}
// function expression
var code = '(function square(b) { return b * b; })(5)'
var evaluated = safeEval(code) // 25
// no access to Node.js objects
var code = 'process'
safeEval(code) // THROWS!
// your own context API - access to Node's process object and a custom function
var code = '{pid: process.pid, apple: a()}'
var context = {
  process: process,
  a: function () { return 'APPLE' }
}
var evaluated = safeEval(code, context) // { pid: 16987, apple: 'APPLE' }
// pass an options object to the vm
var code = 'process'
safeEval(code, {}, { filename: 'myfile.js'}) // myfile.js can be seen in the stacktrace
