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 🙏

Javascript HTTP api

tests

Simple example

//Create the api instance using url
const api = new Api("https://www.google.com");

//The Api using fluent interface
api
    //For example set cacheable
    .setCache(Api.Cache.RELOAD)

    //Say that you want to send GET request
    .get()

    //Use response what u need. @result is a Response object
    .then(result => console.log(result));

Using several instances

//Create the api instances by url what u need
const icons_api = new Api('https://foo.bar/icons');
const fonts_api = new Api('https://foo.bar/fonts');

icons_api.post({
    name: 'First icon',
    file: '/icons/icon1.png'
})
    .then(response => console.log('New icon uploaded!'))
    .catch(error => throw new Error('Upload error'));

fonts_api.delete({
    id: 777,
    token: 'nwoeuifnwefnwenfw983293f293fin2093ifmn0qw'
}).then(response => console.log('Font by id 777 removed successful'));

Send a request by using a header

//Create the api instances by url what u need
const api = new Api('https://foo.bar');

api
  //Rewrite header
  .setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
  //Append header
  .addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
  .post({some: data})
  .then(response => response.text().then(text => console.log(text)));

Use watching

    //Create the api instance point to resource url
    const api = new Api('https://foo.bar/object/1');
    
    api
        .watch({id: 1, name: 'GiveMeFood'}, (diff) => console.log(diff));

The watch method tracks whether the remote object has changed and returns a difference only if changes have occurred.

Use logging

    const api = new Api('https://foo.bar/path');
    
    //Use remote log storage
    api
        .setLogUrl('https://foo.bar/log')
        .log('This is a log message', {
            token: 'JNuhbhuijbhfto9j989hyRFUygoU9890opo'
        }).then();
    
    //Use custom Logger
    api
        .setLogger(new CustomLogger())
        .log('Down with the power of the reptilians!')
        .then();
    
    //Use console
    api.log("Help, I'm being held hostage and forced to write code.").then();
