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 🙏

A package to help you gracefully shutdown Express.js apps

Downloads

Readme

@bufferapp/shutdown-helper

NPM Version Build Status

Provides a basic helper that listens to the SIGTERM signal and will shutdown the given Express.js server after the given delay in seconds.

Install

npm install @bufferapp/shutdown-helper -SE

Usage

To use with your Express.js app, you'll have to use Node's http package to start your server. Here is a full usage example:

const http = require('http')
const express = require('express')
const shutdownHelper = require('@bufferapp/shutdown-helper')
const createLogger = require('@bufferapp/logger')

const shutdownDelay = 20 // seconds

const logger = createLogger({ name: 'Images-Worker' })
const app = express()
const server = http.createServer(app)

server.listen(8080)

shutdownHelper.init({ server, shutdownDelay, logger })

The init function takes one argument with the following options:

  • server (http.Server) - An instance of a Node http server
  • shutdownDelay (Integer) - The delay in seconds after which to shut down the http server. Default 20 seconds.
  • logger (@bufferapp/logger) - (optional) - If passed in log messages to @bufferapp/logger otherwise logged to console

Elsewhere in your application, ideally in a health-check endpoint, you can use the isShutingDown function to check if your application has received a SIGTERM:

const { isShutingDown } = require('@bufferapp/shutdown-helper')

app.get('/health-check', (req, res) => {
  const code = isShutingDown() ? 500 : 200
  const status = code === 200 ? 'awesome' : 'shutting down'
  res.status(code).json({ status })
})
