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 🙏

#HTTPRequest v0.0.1#

A simple yet powerful HTTP request library inspired by jQuery and LSL written in Javascript for clientside and Serverside(Node.js) Javascript. Major thanks to node-XMLHttpRequest for giving us a XMLHttpRequest Object, that really helps make this both client/server.

Setup##

To set up HTTPRequest on your Node.js server use npm(case sensitive package name).

npm install HTTPRequest

If you want to use HTTPRequest on the client-side (browser), just include HTTPRequest.js into your page.

<script type='text/javascript' src='HTTPRequest.js'></script>

##Example## First, you have to do is require the HTTPRequest module (if you're using it client-side, this isn't necessary).

var HTTPRequest = require('HTTPRequest');
HTTPRequest.get('get_test.php', function(status, headers, content)
{
	console.log(status, headers, content);
});

##request## request(url, parameters, callback) A lower level function, but I hope you never really need to use it as post, get is a wrapper around it.

##post##

post(url, data, callback, options)

A url, data(object, can be empty also {}), callback are required. options is not required, but it can be a object.

##get## get(url, callback, options) url and callback are required.

options is not required, but it can be a object.

##delete## del(url, callback, options)

same as get

##put## put(url, data, callback, options)

same as post

##encode## encode(url)

takes a url and escapes it, then returns it.

##decode## encode(url)

takes a decodeed url and Unencode's it, then returns it.

##options##

*option names are NOT case sensitive.

  • USERAGENT - string - Write your own user agent, default is node.js. Setting this ONLY works on the server.
  • QUERY - string or object - appends to the end of the url.
  • DATA - 'POST' or 'PUT' data string or object

##parameters## Everything as options, but also:

METHOD - string - 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT' and 'DELETE', default is 'GET'

##callback##

status, headers, content

  • status - is HTTP code (like 404 or 200)
  • headers - is a object with the respone headers
  • content - The metadata `
