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 🙏

AdonisJS API resources

gh-workflow-image npm-image license-image

Description

Provides a transformation layer between models and actual API endpont responses in JSON format.

Setup

Install the package:

npm install adonis-api-resources

Configure the package:

node ace configure adonis-api-resources

Generate a new resource (i.e. for a user):

node ace make:resource user

Import your generated resource before using it, i.e. in a controller:

import UserResource from '#resources/user_resource'

Remove old endpoint return declaration:

return user

Use the your generated resource instead:

return new UserResource(user).refine()

redefine() and refine() - manually defined map

redefine() modifies a model or array of models according to your custom map defined in resource file. Used along with get() method, which indicates that data processing is done and provides the result. You can also use refine(), which is an alias of redefine().get(), see example below.

Edit newly generated app/resources/user_resource.ts to create output you need. This example shows how you may output user's full name even if your implementation of user model has separate fields for the first and last names:

...
  return {
    full_name: data.firstName + ' ' + data.lastName,
  }
...

You may also use arrays of models with resources:

return new UserResource(users).refine()

Output examples

Model:

{
  "full_name": "John Doe"
}

Array of models:

[
  {
    "full_name": "John Doe"
  },
  {
    "full_name": "Jane Doe"
  }
]

paginate() and refinePaginate()

In case you are dealing with not paginateable array you can still create pagination using this extension. refinePaginate() is an alias of redefine().paginate(), see examples below:

return new UserResource(users).refinePaginate(page, limit)
return new UserResource(users).redefine().paginate(page, limit)

Arguments:

page - number of page to show (optional, default value: 1) limit - items per page (optional, default value: 10)

pick()

No map definition is needed, once you only want to pick a few values of the object and leave other values behind. Examples:

return new UserResource(users).pick('firstName').get()
return new UserResource(users).pick('firstName', 'lastName', 'email').paginate(1, 20)

omit()

No map definition is needed, once you only want to exclude a few values from the object. Examples:

return new UserResource(users).omit('id').paginate()
return new UserResource(users).omit('createdAt', 'updatedAt').get()

get()

get() finalizes data processing. While pick(), omit() and redefine() modify data, trailing get() or paginate() is needed to complete the response. This requirement is not applied to refine() and refinePaginate()

Lucid pagination support

Lucid offset-based pagination is supported.
