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

g-i-s

A fork of Jim Kang's g-i-s package that uses axios to fetch the data. Additionally, instead of using callbacks, the API returns the requested images.

From the original API: Another Google Image Search Node module. The nature of these things is that they eventually break as GIS changes, but this one works as of 2018-06-20.

Installation

npm install @risafletcher/g-i-s

Usage

    const gis = require('@risafletcher/g-i-s');

    const fetchNews = async (title) => {
      //  ...
      const images = await gis(title);
      return { ...news, images };
    };

Output:

    {
      //  ...news,
      images: [
        {
          "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mW3S0u8bj58/maxresdefault.jpg",
          "width": 1280,
          "height": 720
        },
        {
          "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tntOCGkgt98/maxresdefault.jpg",
          "width": 1600,
          "height": 1200
        },
        {
          "url": "https://www.petfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/cat-black-superstitious-fcs-cat-myths-162286659.jpg",
          "width": 632,
          "height": 353
        },
        {
          "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Large_Siamese_cat_tosses_a_mouse.jpg",
          "width": 3415,
          "height": 2268
        },
        ...
      ]
    }

If you want to pass additional stuff to tack onto the Google image search URL, pass an object containing searchTerm and queryStringAddition. e.g.

    const catImages = await gis({
      searchTerm: 'cat',
      queryStringAddition: '&tbs=ic:trans'
    });

You can also filter out results from specfied domains:

    const catImages = await gis({
      searchTerm: 'cat',
      queryStringAddition: '&tbs=ic:trans',
      filterOutDomains: [
        'pinterest.com',
        'deviantart.com'
      ]
    });

Specifying filterOutDomains will both tell Google to not to include results that come from web pages on those domains and also filter image results that are hosted on those domains. (Sometimes an image is on an html page on a domain not included in your filters and has an img tag that loads from a domain that is included in your filters.)
