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 🙏

expressus

A small, fast, Express-like Node.js web framework.

Installation

npm install --save @borisov/expressus

Usage Example

const { App, middleware } = require('@borisovg/expressus');
const { createServer } = require('http');

const app = new App();
const server = createServer(app.router);

server.listen(8080);

// simple GET route

app.get('/foo', function (req, res) {
    res.end('OK');
});

// GET route with params (e.g. /foo/bar/baz)

app.get('/foo/:a/:b', function (req, res) {
    console.log(req.params);
    res.end('OK');
});

// JSON POST route

app.use(middleware.json());

app.post('/foo', function (req, res) {
    console.log(req.body);
    res.json({ result: 'OK' });
});

TypeScript Example

When using any of the included middleware, or if you add custom middleware that modifies the request or response object passed to the handler you can pass additional type information to the generic App class.

import { App, middleware } from '@borisovg/expressus';
import type { JsonRequest, JsonResponse, QueryRequest } from '@borisovg/expressus';

const app = new App<JsonRequest & QueryRequest, JsonResponse>();
const server = createServer(app.router);

server.listen(8080);

app.use(middleware.json());
app.use(middleware.query());

app.get('/foo/:bar', function (req, res) {
    // req.body, req.params.bar, req.query and res.json will be typed
});

API

  • framework.App() - application constructor
  • app.get(route, callback) - register GET handler
  • app.delete(route, callback) - register DELETE handler
  • app.patch(route, callback) - register PATCH handler
  • app.post(route, callback) - register POST handler
  • app.put(route, callback) - register PUT handler
  • app.remove_all_handlers() - remove all handlers
  • app.remove_middleware(fn) - remove middleware function
  • app.router(req, res) - router function (use as request callback for HTTP server)
  • app.use(fn) - register middleware function

Routing

  • route "/foo" will match request path "/foo"
  • route "/foo/:name" will match request path like "/foo/bar" and set req.params.name to "bar"
  • route "/foo/:name/*" will match request path like "/foo/bar/anything/else", will set req.params.name to "bar" and set req.splat to "anything/else"
  • raw route string is used as req.route

Refer to the http-hash package for more information.

Middleware

A middleware function has the signature (req, res, next), with next being a function that will run the next middleware in the chain. Middleware functions are run in the order they were attached.

Some basic middleware is included in the framework.

Request Body Loader

This middleware will load the request body and attach it to req.body as a buffer.

app.use(middleware.body());

Request Body Form Parser

This middleware will parse req.body form data and replace req.body with the result.

app.use(middleware.form());

Request Body JSON Parser

This middleware will parse req.body JSON data and replace req.body with the result. It will also add a res.json(data) convenience method.

app.use(middleware.json());

Request Query String Parser

This middleware will load parse the request query string and attach it to req.query.

app.use(middleware.query());

Static Content Server

This middleware is a very simple static content server, aimed for use during development. In production, consider fronting your app with a real HTTP server (e.g. Nginx) for superior performance.

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    app.use(middleware.static({ path: './public' }));
}
