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 🙏

Readme

v-daemon

Build Status npm Version JS Standard

Daemon script for v-spot-client

Installation

$ npm install v-daemon -g

Usage

Step01: Create script file to run. File basename will be the subject id

/home/scripts/v/jp.realglobe.v-daemon.example01

#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * @file Example script to daemonize
 */
'use strict'

// verb and object passed as process args
const [, , subject, verb, object1, object2] = process.argv

switch (verb) {
  case 'sayHi': {
    process.stdout.write(`Hi, ${object1} and ${object2}`)
    break
  }
  default:
    throw new Error(`Unknown verb: ${verb}`)
}

Step02: Daemonize the script

#!/bin/bash

# Give script path to daemonize

v-daemon /home/scripts/v/jp.realglobe.v-daemon.example01 -H "v-spot.cloud.com"

Step03: Call it from another client

#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * Example to call daemonized script
 */
'use strict'

const vSpot = require('v-spot')

;(async () => {
  const spot = vSpot().client()

  await spot.connect('v-spot.cloud.com')

  // By default, subject name is generated from script name
  const example01 = await spot.use('jp.realglobe.v-daemon.example01')
  // Send the signal to daemon script via server
  await example01.sayHi('can you hear me?', 'really?')
})()

More Script Examples
