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 🙏

AwarNS Framework package that allows to scan for nearby Wi-Fi access points

Readme

@awarns/wifi

npm (scoped) npm

This module includes tasks to obtain information regarding nearby Wi-Fi access points (APs). This is useful to assess the existence of concrete access points nearby. Also, to build custom indoor localization and positioning systems based on Wi-Fi.

This plugin acts as a wrapper on top of the nativescript-context-apis plugin (from the same authors), offering Wi-Fi scanning tasks. Scan for nearby Wi-Fi APs even in background.

Install the plugin using the following command line instruction:

ns plugin add @awarns/wifi

Usage

After installing and setting up this plugin, you'll have access to two different tasks to scan for Wi-Fi APs seen nearby. The result, will be a WifiScan record, described below.

Tasks

| Task name | Description | |-----------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | acquirePhoneWifiScan | Allows to perform a single Wi-Fi scan for a given amount of time | | acquireMultiplePhoneWifiScan | Allows to repeatedly perform Wi-Fi scans. Scans will happen for as long as there is execution time remaining (3 minutes max. or shortly before the next time-scheduled task execution, whatever occurs earlier) |

Note: All the tasks require fine location permission and active Wi-Fi radio for their execution. Each task will automatically request what is missing during framework's initialization

Acquire a single Wi-Fi scan

To register this task for its use, you just need to import it and call its generator function inside your application's task list:

import { Task } from '@awarns/core/tasks';
import { acquirePhoneWifiScanTask } from '@awarns/wifi';

export const demoTasks: Array<Task> = [
    acquirePhoneWifiScanTask(/* optional */ { ensureIsNew: true, timeout: 15000 }),
];

Task generator parameters:

| Name | Type | Description | |----------------|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ensureIsNew | boolean | Make sure that the resulting Wi-Fi scan is up-to-date. A value of true ensures Android Wi-Fi scanning restrictions are met, thus the reported value is always new. The default value is true | | timeout | number | The maximum time, in milliseconds, to be spent scanning for nearby Wi-Fi APs. The default value is 15000 (15s) |

Task output events:

Example usage in the application task graph:

on(
  'startEvent',
  run('acquirePhoneWifiScan')
    .every(1, 'minutes')
    .cancelOn('stopEvent')
);

on('wifiScanAcquired', run('writeRecords'));

Note: To use the writeRecords task, the persistence package must be installed and configured. See persistence package docs.

Acquire Wi-Fi scans in batch

To register this task for its use, you just need to import it and call its generator function inside your application's task list:

import { Task } from '@awarns/core/tasks';
import { acquireMultiplePhoneWifiScanTask } from '@awarns/wifi';

export const demoTasks: Array<Task> = [
  acquireMultiplePhoneWifiScanTask(/* optional */ { ensureIsNew: true, timeout: 15000 }),
];

Task generator parameters:

| Name | Type | Description | |---------------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ensureIsNew | boolean | Make sure that the resulting Wi-Fi scans are up-to-date. A value of true ensures Android Wi-Fi scanning restrictions are met, thus the reported values are always new. The default value is true | | timeout | number | The maximum time to be spent performing each individual Wi-Fi scan. The default value is 15000 (15s) |

Task output events:

Example usage in the application task graph:

on(
  'startEvent',
  run('acquireMultiplePhoneWifiScan', { 
     maxInterval: 25000 
     /* 
        (Optional, mandatory if ensureIsNew=true) Maximun interval between scans, unlimited by default. 
        
        If ensureIsNew=true, the value must ensure that a maximum of 2 scans are being collectd every minute. 
        
        For example, here the task will be executed every 1 minute, which means it will have ~55s to run. 
        With 25s between scans we meet the OS restrictions and have enought time to collect 2 Wi-Fi fingerprints. 
     */ 
  })
    .every(1, 'minutes')
    .cancelOn('stopEvent')
);

on('wifiScanAcquired', run('writeRecords'));

Note: To use the writeRecords task, the persistence package must be installed and configured. See persistence package docs.

Events

| Name | Payload | Description | |--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | wifiScanAcquired | WifiScan | Array<WifiScan> | Indicates that one or more new Wi-Fi scan results have been acquired |

Records

WifiScan

| Property | Type | Description | |-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | id | string | Record's unique id | | type | string | Always wifi-scan | | change | Change | Always none. Scan results are returned as a whole. Intermediate results are not reported | | timestamp | Date | The local time when the scan was completed | | isNew | boolean | Indicates if the results of the scan are cached. This can only be false when using ensureIsNew=false option during the scans | | seen | Array<WifiApInfo> | The Wi-Fi APs seen during the scan. The list can be empty. For details on the properties of the WifiApInfo object, see context-apis API docs section on Wi-Fi |
