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 🙏

Telstra Messaging

The Official SDK for the Telstra messaging API.

:warning: This SDK is experimental, everything is subject to change

Installing

npm i -s @tls/messaging

Getting Started

You can find the Client key and Client secret here: https://dev.telstra.com/user/me/apps.

Getting started using CJS (CommonJS)

/** Using CommonJS */
var { Message } = require('@tls/messaging');

const message = new Message();
message
    .send({
        to: '<MOBILE_NUMBER>',
        body: 'Hello from Messaging SDK',
    })
    .then(results => {
        console.log(results);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
    });

Getting started using ESM (ES Modules)

:warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in your package.json or use the .mjs extension.

/** Using ES Modules (ECMAScript) */
import { Message } from '@tls/messaging';

const message = new Message();
message
    .send({
        to: '<MOBILE_NUMBER>',
        body: 'Hello from Messaging SDK',
    })
    .then(results => {
        console.log(results);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
    });

Authentication

Authentication through environment variables, shared configuration file and json file import are supported.

Environment variables

Export the following two environment variables, replacing the values with your own credentials.

export TELSTRA_MESSAGING_CLIENT_ID="<CLIENT_ID>"
export TELSTRA_MESSAGING_CLIENT_SECRET="<CLIENT_SECRET>"

Shared credentials

Create a ~/.telstra/credentials file in your home path with the following contents, replacing the values with your own credentials.

[default]
TELSTRA_MESSAGING_CLIENT_ID = <CLIENT_ID>
TELSTRA_MESSAGING_CLIENT_SECRET = <CLIENT_SECRET>

JSON file import

Create a json file in your project path with the following contents, replacing the values with your own credentials.

{
    "TELSTRA_MESSAGING_CLIENT_ID": "<CLIENT_ID>",
    "TELSTRA_MESSAGING_CLIENT_SECRET": "<CLIENT_SECRET>"
}

Then import the json file into your project source.

import { Message } from '../dist/index.js';
import AUTH_CONFIG from './credentials.json';

const message = new Message(AUTH_CONFIG);

This should be done before any interactions requiring authentication, such as sending a SMS.

Free Trial

Telstra offers a free trial for the messaging API to help you evaluate whether it meets your needs. There are some restrictions that apply compared to the full API, including a maximum number of SMS that can be sent and requiring the registration of a limited number of destinations before SMS can be sent to that destination.
