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 🙏

Build Status

What is it?

This repository contains the express middleware that can be used to host your own avatars service!

Check out our website for more info on (and an interactive demo of) what this service does.

How do I use it?

First, you'll need the adorable-avatars package:

npm install adorable-avatars --save

Then, use the router middleware within your application:

// your_server.js
import express from 'express';
import avatarsMiddleware from 'adorable-avatars';

const myApp = express();
myApp.use('/myAvatars', avatarsMiddleware);

That's it! Your server now includes the avatars endpoints!

Endpoints

Assuming your server lives at myserver.com, and you've configured the middleware as above, you now have the following endpoints:

  • myserver.com/myAvatars/:id
    • returns an avatar for the provided id.
    • id can be anything (email, username, md5 hash, as long as it's a valid URI)
    • defaults to 400px
  • myserver.com/myAvatars/:size/:id
    • returns an avatar for the provided id at the specified size
    • size cannot exceed 400px
  • myserver.com/myAvatars/face/:eyes/:nose/:mouth/:color/:size?
    • Allows you to generate a custom avatar from the specified parts and color, and size
    • e.g. myserver.com/myAvatars/face/eyes1/nose2/mouth4/DEADBF/300
  • myserver.com/myAvatars/list
    • returns JSON of all valid parts for the custom endpoint above
    • myserver.com/myAvatars/:size?/random
      • returns a random avatar, different each time
      • e.g. myserver.com/myAvatars/300/random

Development

If you're developing locally, you'll first need to bootstrap (assumes nvm):

# use correct node version
nvm use

# install dependencies
npm install

Then, there are several npm scripts that will be useful:

# run the unit tests
npm test

# run both a dev server and eslint
npm run dev

# run a dev server
npm run dev:server

# run eslint
npm run dev:lint

# compile the application
npm run build
