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

@ndn/repo-api

This package is part of NDNts, Named Data Networking libraries for the modern web.

This package defines the programming interface of an abstract Data repository, and functions that work with this interface.

DataStore

DataStore is a group of interfaces that defines the API of a Data repository.

  • get(name) retrieves Data by exact name.
  • find(interest) finds Data that satisfies Interest.
  • listNames(prefix?) iterates over names of stored Data.
  • listData(prefix?) iterates over stored Data.
  • insert(options?, ...pkts) inserts Data packets.
  • delete(...names) deletes Data packets.

DataArray from this package is a minimal but inefficient implementation of these interfaces. DataStore type from @ndn/repo package is a full implementation with much larger code size.

DataTape

DataTape is a file or stream that consists of a sequence of Data packets. As a file type, DataTape may be used to transfer packets between repo instances.

DataTape type of this package is an append-only implementation of DataStore interface. The copy(src, prefix?, dst, options?) function can import or export packets between DataStore and DataTape instances.

Bulk Insert

A repo may accept Data ingestion via bulk insertion protocol. The Data producer initiates a reliable connection to the repo's bulk insertion target and writes Data packets over this connection. The repo then saves received Data to storage, but provides no feedback. Conventionally, this protocol runs over TCP and uses port 7376.

This package implements core functionality of this protocol.

  • Data producer can use BulkInsertInitiator type to initiate bulk insertion.
  • Repo can use BulkInsertTarget type to accept bulk insertion.

They are used in @ndn/repo-cli package.
