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 🙏

#3w

Simple express server for static file delivering. When it comes to setting up a simple Http server to expose a specific dir, we have bunch of options. One of the usual way of doing that which has a tone of restrictions, is using python like:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

which allows me to expose the current dir as a http server on the specific port number. I created 3w as an alternative with bunch of advanced features. Being able to set up http proxies is one of the useful features which saves a lot of pain when developing a web application. Http proxies are not provided in the current version but they will be soon with a nice and useful way of setting up the configuration.

##Installation 3w is now on npm, to install it all you need is to run this on terminal:

npm install 3w

Now to run a server and expose a directory (let's say its name is src) all you should do is:

node node_modules/3w/3w.js src --3000

To enable https you could also pass --https which usually needs you to have sudo access on the machine:

sudo node node_modules/3w/3w.js src --3000 --https

##API You could also require 3w as a module, and set up the server like:

var www = require('3w'),
  app;

app = www({
  enableHTTPS: true,
  port: 8888,
  dir: 'src'
});

or:

//This will expose the 'app' folder and 'enableHTTPS' will be false
app = www({
  port: 8888
});

or:

//This will expose the 'src' folder on '9000' and 'enableHTTPS' will be false
app = www({
  dir: 'src'
});

or:

//This will expose the 'app' folder on '9000' and 'enableHTTPS' will be false
app = www();

Using 3w you could also tweak the app object to set up your http-proxies like:

var www = require('3w'),
  app;

function proxy(app){
  //...
}

app = www({
  enableHTTPS: true,
  port: 8888,
  dir: 'src',
  proxy: proxy
});
