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 🙏

A compact and intelligent web application framework for Node.js.

中文介绍.

Installation

$ sudo npm install -g starfruit

Features

  1. Compact, only 3 core files
  2. Intelligent, automatic route load file
  3. Automatic, add and modify the code without shutting down the server, and automatically compile load
  4. Security, automatically restart when the server crashes
  5. Multi-core take advantage of multi-core processing, multi-process server
  6. Real-time, real-time monitoring server command-line tool

Quick Start

Simple web server

All static resource files in MyProject/pub folder.

// index.js
var sf = require('starfruit')
  , fs = require('fs');

app = sf();
app.log(fs.createWriteStream('./logger.log', { flags: "a" }));
app.listen(8080);

HTTPS server:

// index.js
var sf = require('starfruit')
  , fs = require('fs')
  , https = require('https');

app = sf();
app.log(fs.createWriteStream('./logger.log', { flags: "a" }));

var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem')
};

https.createServer(options, app).listen(9090);

Dynamic controller

For controlling the flow of the application, which handles the events and to respond. "Events" includes changing the user's behavior and data model.

All dynamic files (.js) in MyProject/lib folder, CoffeeScript source files (.coffee) in MyProject/src folder, resource files (.layout) in MyProject/res folder.

// app.js
// route: yoururl.com/app
var fs = require('fs')
  , sf = require('starfruit');

module.exports = app = new sf.Controller();

app.init = function() {
  $ = this;
  $.title = 'Starfruit';
  $.layout = 'res/app.layout';
};

app.timeClick = function() {
  $ = this;
  $.model({
    time: ["text", "style"]
  });
  if ($.data) {
    $.data.time.text = new Date().toString();
    $.data.time.style = 'color:blue';
  }
};

app.helloClick = function() {
  $ = this;
  $.model({
    username: "value",
    message: "text"
  });
  if ($.data) {
    if ($.data.username) {
      $.data.message = 'hello ' + $.data.username + ', welcome to starfruit world.';
    }
  }
};

or maybe you more like CoffeeScript codes:

# app.coffee
# route: yoururl.com/app
fs = require 'fs'
{Controller} = require 'starfruit'

module.exports = class App extends Controller
  init: ->
    @title = 'Starfruit'
    @layout = 'res/app.layout'

  timeClick: ->
    @model
      time: ["text", "style"]
    return unless @data
    @data.time.text = new Date().toString()
    @data.time.style = 'color:blue'

  helloClick: ->
    @model
      username: "value"
      message: "text"
    return unless @data
    @data.message = "hello #{@data.username}, welcome to starfruit world." if @data.username

app.layout contents:

<p><img src="/logo.jpg" /></p>
<p>Server time: <span style="color:red" id="time">...</span>
  <input type="button" value="Get" onclick="selector('timeClick')" />
</p>
<p>Your name:
  <input id="username" type="text" />
  <input type="button" value="Hello" onclick="selector('helloClick')" />
  <p id="message"></p>
</p>

Customized server status code page

Use _<status code>.html file to customize the server status code page, such as _404.html. All server status code page must in MyProject/pub folder or customized static content folder.

Command line tool

  • $ cd MyProject
  • Boot server(enter real-time command line tool) $ starfruit or $ sf
  • Add server process(maximum number of processes CPU cores) add <num>
  • List all server processes list or ls
  • Shutdown a process remove <pid> or rm <pid>
  • Quit quit
