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 🙏

API Reader Package

Overview: The api-reader-package is a lightweight Node.js package designed to help developers easily fetch data from APIs. It uses axios for making HTTP requests and dotenv for managing environment variables, allowing for secure handling of API keys and URLs.

Features:

  • Simple API Requests: Easily fetch data from APIs with minimal setup.
  • Environment Variable Management: Securely manage API keys and URLs using .env files.
  • Lightweight: Minimal dependencies ensure fast installation and performance.

Installation: To install the package, use NPM:

npm install api-reader-package

Usage:

  1. Install the package (if you haven't already) using:
npm install api-reader-package
  1. Create a .env file in the root of your project to store your API URL and API key. Example content for .env:
API_URL=https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines
API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  1. Import and use the package in your project with the following code:
import aniData from 'api-reader-package';

(async () => {
    const apiUrl = process.env.API_URL;
    const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;

    try {
        const data = await aniData(apiUrl, apiKey);
        console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching data:', error.message);
    }
})();

Example: This package allows you to quickly set up and fetch data from an API by simply providing the API URL and an API key in a .env file. The data is returned in JSON format and can be easily manipulated or displayed as needed.
