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 🙏

http-firewall

Lightweight Http Firewall to protect against common threats.

This is a direct port of the Spring Security HttpFirewall.

  • This library is a middleware for Express Server.
  • Its highly recommended not to disable firewall rules, since its extremely risky to do so. You can however provided your own overrides that gives you the options of disable rules or provide your own constraints.
  • If a threat is detected, a HTTP status code 403 is returned to the caller, and no further processing happens.
  • Calls which pass the firewall rules, will process as normal.

Examples

The firewall can be configured as shown below:

TypeScript Usage

import express, { Request, Response } from 'express';
import { HttpFirewallOptions, Predicate, httpFirewall } from '@prizemates/http-firewall';

const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// This middleware must be added before adding any other routes
app.use(httpFirewall())
// Or, you can customize the behaviour by providing options. See HttpFirewallOptions
// app.use(httpFirewall({logToConsole : true}));

app.get('/', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.send('Http Firewall Demo running');
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`⚡️[server]: Server is running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Javascript Usage

const express = require("express");
const { httpFirewall } = require("@prizemates/http-firewall");

const app = express();
const port = 3000;

app.use(httpFirewall())
// Or, you can customize the behaviour by providing options. See HttpFirewallOptions
// app.use(httpFirewall({logToConsole : true}));

app.get('/', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.send('Http Firewall Demo running');
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`⚡️[server]: Server is running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
