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 🙏

Lambda Helpers with support for jsforce, ssm, and logging

Readme

SF Lambda Helpers

SF Lambda helpers are a collection of functions used accross multiple lambdas.

  • Since Lambdas do not have built in caching this package provides wrapped methods that are reusable across multiple lambdas.

Adding to your package

 npm install sf-lambda-helpers

Functions

chunk

chunk method takes an array and returns a chunked version of that array

const {chunk} = require('sf-lambda-helpers');

const chunkedArray = chunk([1,2,3,4], 2);

//output will be [[1,2],[3,4]]

getSFConnection

getSFConnection method takes a username and password and returns a salesforce connection using JSForce, meanwhile it will handle your active sessions, so that when a lambda that is constantly firing every second does not lock the user out.

Uses environment variables

STORAGE_DYNAMO_TABLE - to determine dynamoDB table, required to be in same account as the lambda

SALESFORCE_VERSION - salesforce version, includes like '47.0'

const { getSFConnection } = require('sf-lambda-helpers');

const connectionInfo = {
  username: "ssm-username",
  password: "ssm-password",
  loginUrl: "https://test.salesforce.com",
  clientId: 'clientId', //optional
  clientSecret: 'clientSecret' //optional
};

//getSFConnection(connectionInfo, decrypt?); decryption is a boolean that access ssm parameters or already decrypted fields
const conn = await getSFConnection(connectionInfo, true);

// output will be a valid jsforce connection

getSSMDecryptedParameter

getSSMDecryptedParameter method takes a ssm parameter and returns the decrypted value that belongs to the ssm parameter.

const {getSSMDecryptedParameter} = require('sf-lambda-helpers');

const value = await getSSMDecryptedParameter('parameterName');

// output will be the value of the decrypted parameter

getSSMDecryptedParameters

getSSMDecryptedParameters method takes a ssm parameter and returns the decrypted value that belongs to the ssm parameter.

const {getSSMDecryptedParameters} = require('sf-lambda-helpers');

const value = await getSSMDecryptedParameters(['parameterNameOne','parameterNameOne']);

// output will be a map of the decrypted parameters
// value.get('parameterNameOne')

logger

SF formatted Winston Logger


{
  error,
  warn,
  info,
  debug
}
const {logger} = require('sf-lambda-helpers');

logger.log('error', 'hello', { message: 'world' });
logger.info('hello', { message: 'world' });
