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 🙏

Access Control

Capability-based access control for Ethereum smart contracts.

Get started

  1. npm install --save @daostack/access_control

  2. Use it in your smart contract

    import "@daostack/access_control/contracts/Permissioned.sol";
    
    contract Foo is Permissioned {
        // Foo stuff...
    }

Concept

The basic idea is that there are a set of "locks"/"topics" each with a set of "keys". A contract can protects one of it's methods with a lock (or more) such that anyone with the appropriate key can use it to access this method. Each key can have a start time, expiration time, number of uses. Accounts can also transfer some (or all) of their capabilities to other accounts if allowed. Initially the contract itself has a "master key" (infinite uses, no expiration, no start time limitation), and then it can pass some partial capabilities to the desired accounts.

Features:

  • Can define a number of uses & expiration date & start time on keys and if to enable the key to be transfrred.
  • Accounts can assign partial (or full) abillites to other accounts (if allowed).
  • We can use advanced lock ids to lock a method even on specific parameters, enforce ordering, or other properties (see example).
  • Can define complex boolean predicates to protect methods.
  • No performance loss over hand-crafted mechanisms.

Benefits:

  • Declarative policy (no more sprinkling ifs all over the codebase)
  • Easy control flow (ordering, timing, number of function calls) restrictions (e.g. only allowed to call B after calling A twice within 2 days).
  • Allows accounts to call functions themselves instead of delegating through other contracts.
  • Generalized logging mechanism: key usage events can be queried by clients to know whether a method was called and by which account, key revocations can be used to know when users no longer have access to a method.
  • Easier security since we need to verify less code.
