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 🙏

v0.1.0

Published

Whitebox browser client — shortener plugin. Reads a claim token from the landing URL, redeems it for the customer it was bound to, scrubs the token, and adopts that passport for the session.

Readme

Shortener Client Plugin

The landing-page half of a personalized short link — redeems the single-use claim token the redirect left in the URL and adopts the customer it was bound to.

What it is

The landing-page half of a personalized short link. When a visitor arrives via a shortener link, the server's redirect left a single-use claim token in the URL (?wb= or #wb=). This plugin redeems it and adopts the customer it was bound to.

import { createClient } from 'whitebox-pro-client'
import shortener from 'whitebox-pro-client-plugin-shortener'

const wb = createClient({ /* … */, plugins: [ shortener() ] })

// the link's prefill data, once claimed
const { name, email } = wb.shortener.data ?? {}

On install it:

  1. reads the token from ?wb= or #wb= (whichever the server used);
  2. POST /shortener/claim { token, passport_id } — passing the current anonymous passport so the server merges it into the customer the link belongs to;
  3. scrubs the token from the address bar (so it can't be re-shared/re-claimed);
  4. adopts the returned passport (core.setPassportId) — every later event runs as that customer;
  5. exposes wb.shortener.data (the link's prefill) and wb.shortener.bound.

No token in the URL → it's a no-op. A stale/used token → { bound: false }, the page just runs anonymously.
