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 🙏

servify-express

v1.0.1

Published

A simple package to start an Express server and log port information

Readme

Servify Express

A simple Node.js package to start an Express server and log the port it's running on.

Installation

To install the package, run:

npm install servify-express

Usage

After installing the package, you can use it to easily start an Express server and log the port it is running on. Here’s how to use it in your Node.js application:

  1. Import the package into your project.

const StartServer = require('servify-express');

  1. Call the use method on the StartServer object and pass in the port number. The server will automatically start and log the port to the console.

Example usage:

const StartServer = require('servify-express');

// Start server on port 3000 StartServer.listen(3000);

If you don’t pass a port, it will default to port 3000.

How it Works

  • The listen() method will start an Express server and log a message to the console: "Server is running on port <PORT_NUMBER>".

  • You can specify a custom port number, or leave it blank for the default of 3000.
