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

Angular Express Engine

This is an Express Engine for running Angular Apps on the server for server side rendering.

Usage

npm install @nguniversal/express-engine --save

To use it, set the engine and then route requests to it

import express from 'express';
import { ngExpressEngine } from '@nguniversal/express-engine';

const app = express();

// Set the engine
app.engine(
  'html',
  ngExpressEngine({
    bootstrap: ServerAppModule, // Give it a module to bootstrap
  }),
);

app.set('view engine', 'html');

app.get('/**/*', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.render('../dist/index', {
    req,
    res,
  });
});

Configuring the URL and Document

It is possible to override the default URL and document fetched when the rendering engine is called. To do so, simply pass in a url and/or document string to the renderer as follows:

app.get('/**/*', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  let url = 'http://someurl.com';
  let doc = '<html><head><title>New doc</title></head></html>';
  res.render('../dist/index', {
    req,
    res,
    url,
    document: doc,
  });
});

Extra Providers

Extra Providers can be provided either on engine setup

app.engine(
  'html',
  ngExpressEngine({
    bootstrap: ServerAppModule,
    providers: [ServerService],
  }),
);

Advanced Usage

Request based Bootstrap

The Bootstrap module as well as more providers can be passed on request

app.get('/**/*', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.render('../dist/index', {
    req,
    res,
    bootstrap: OtherServerAppModule,
    providers: [OtherServerService],
  });
});

Using the Request and Response

The Request and Response objects are injected into the app via injection tokens. You can access them by @Inject

import { Request } from 'express';
import { REQUEST } from '@nguniversal/express-engine/tokens';

@Injectable()
export class RequestService {
  constructor(@Inject(REQUEST) private request: Request) {}
}

If your app runs on the client side too, you will have to provide your own versions of these in the client app.

Using a Custom Callback

You can also use a custom callback to better handle your errors

app.get('/**/*', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.render(
    '../dist/index',
    {
      req,
      res,
    },
    (err: Error, html: string) => {
      res.status(html ? 200 : 500).send(html || err.message);
    },
  );
});
