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

Redox Destination Utils

This package is a collection of express middleware functions that helps building Redox destination apps with node and express.

When you set up a Redox destination, this means an endpoint that listens to requests from the Redox engine you need to do the following:

  1. First respond to a challenge that redox engine sends to verify that you own the server the redox engine will be calling
  2. Verify on each request that the caller is redox
  3. Handle in a particular way each message type you can receive

answerChallenge(req, res)

The answerChallenge middleware will return to Redox engine the challenge sent by in the request with a status of 200.

const express = require("express");
const { answerChallenge } = require("@ingenious-redox/destination-middleware");
const app = express();

app.get("/", answerChallenge); // Use `app.get` when the challenge is configured with GET for your destination on Redox engine UI

app.listen(process.env.PORT, () =>
  console.log(`Example app listening on port ${process.env.PORT}!`)
);

verifyCaller(verificationToken) => (req, res)

const express = require("express");
const { answerChallenge } = require("@ingenious-redox/destination-middleware");
const app = express();

app.use(verifyCaller(process.env.VERIFICATION_TOKEN)); // This verification token should match the one that's configured for your destination on Redox engine UI

app.listen(process.env.PORT, () =>
  console.log(`Example app listening on port ${process.env.PORT}!`)
);

The verifyCaller middleware is configured with the verification token and returns a middleware in charge of validating the correct header.

routeMessages(app, resolverFn) => (req, res)

The routeMessages lets you handle the different types of Data Models and Event Types in different URLs of your express app. For example, if you want to receive all PatientPush from the Clinical Summary you can use routeMessages and later register the following URL app.post("/ClinicalSummary/PatientPush").

routeMessages receives the express app and optionally a resolverFn(dataModel, eventType). The resolverFn is in charge of normalizing the data model and event type names, the default implementation removes spaces and redirects to /DataModelName/EventTypeName.

const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const { routeMessages } = require("@ingenious-redox/destination-middleware");
const app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.post("/", routeMessages(app));
app.post("/ClinicalSummary/PatientPush", (req, res) => {
  // Do something with req.body
  console.log(req.body);
  res.sendStatus(201);
});

app.listen(process.env.PORT, () =>
  console.log(`Example app listening on port ${process.env.PORT}!`)
);
