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 🙏

Express middleware for authorizing app stores

This middleware verifies requests come either from your Dashboard server or authorized app stores.

When to use this

You are publishing your web application on UserAppStore or another website using our app store software.

What it does

When claiming an application server on UserAppStore or other sites powered by our app store software you must verify you own the server by publishing a token. This module publishes your tokens and verifies requests come from the app stores you ahve approved. This middleware iterates 1 through however it many it finds, stopping when _x is unconfigured, so you can approve as many app stores as you wish.

AUTHORIZE_APP_STORE_1=userappstore.com
AUTHORIZE_APP_STORE_1_TOKEN=token
..
AUTHORIZE_APP_STORE_23=something-something-something.com
AUTHORIZE_APP_STORE_23_TOKEN=another-token

This middleware can also determine if the request came from your own Dashboard server, in case you are servicing both app stores and your own users directly.

DASHBOARD_SERVER=http://localhost:8000
APPLICATION_SERVER_TOKEN="shared secret"

The end result

If the request came from a recognized app store or your own Dashboard server these properties will be appended to the request object, transferred from the request headers.

req.verified = true
req.dashboardServer = "https://yours_or_app_store"
req.accountid = ""
req.sessionid = ""
// if the user installed for organizations
req.organizationid = ""
// if the user installed via app store
req.subscriptionid = ""

The integrity of the information can only be confirmed if you claim your application server on the app stores.
