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 🙏

vivae

v1.1.0

Published

**Bring your HTTP server to life.**

Readme

Vivae

Bring your HTTP server to life.

Vivae is a lightweight, dependency-free Node.js framework designed to help you quickly build and manage HTTP servers with minimal code. View the docs.

Fun fact: The name Vivae comes from Latin. It’s the feminine plural of Vivus, meaning "alive," and that’s the goal of this framework; to bring your HTTP server to life.

Features

  • Configuration
  • Adding middleware
  • Plugin Creation
  • Static Serving
  • TypeScript support
  • CommonJS and ESM support

Performance

Vivae uses less memory and is more stable than Express or Koa.

  • Vivae: ~31.55 MB RSS
  • Express v5.1.0: ~43.45 MB
  • Koa v3.0.0: ~43.71 MB

Vivae is a better option than either frameworks for high efficient and resource sensitive applications. Tracked using Node's process.memoryUsage().

Installation

npm install vivae

Usage Example

ESM:

import vivae from "vivae";

const app = vivae();
const port = 3000;

app.use("/", "GET", (vobj) => {
  vobj.send("Hello World!");
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

If you're using CommonJS, simply use require instead of import:

const vivae = require("vivae");
