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 🙏

Readme

http-server

This is a fork of rsms/serve-http with some modifications.

Simple single-file local web server

npm i -g @enginerd/http-server

  • Single file without dependencies — copy it into your project.
  • Safety feature: Only serves local connections unless given explicit command-line argument.
  • Safety feature: Refuses to serve directories outside home directory to remote connections.

Install through npm i -g @enginerd/http-server

$ ./http-server -help
Usage: http-server [options] [<dir>]

<dir>
  Directory to serve files from. Defaults to the current directory.

Options:
  -p, -port <port>  Listen on specific <port>
  -host <host>      Bind to <host> instead of "localhost"
  -public           Accept connections from anywhere (same as -host "")
  -q, -quiet        Don't log requests
  -no-dirlist       Disable directory listing
  -dirlist-hidden   Show files beginning with "." in directory listings
  -h, -help         Show help and exit
  -version          Print version to stdout and exit

Examples:

  http-server
    Serve current directory on some available port

  http-server -p 8080 docs
    Serve directory ./docs locally on port 8080

  http-server -public -no-dirlist
    Serve current directory publicly on some available port,
    without directory listing.

JavaScript API

http-server can also be used as a library:

import { createServer } from "@enginerd/http-server";
const __dirname = import.meta.dirname;
const server = createServer({ pubdir: __dirname, port: 1234, showServingMessage: true });
// `server` is a standard nodejs http server instance.

See TypeScript type definitions for documentation of the API: types.d.ts
