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 🙏

Presentation

assistive-playwright-server is the server part of the assistive-playwright tool that allows end-to-end testing of web applications with a screen reader. It is designed to run inside the virtual machine started by the assistive-playwright-client package and to give it access to the playwright API and screen-reader messages, over the network between the host and the virtual machine.

Here is a schema describing the architecture of Assistive-Playwright:

Architecture of Assistive-Playwright

Getting started

As mentioned before, assistive-playwright-server is designed to be installed in a virtual machine that is cloned and started by assistive-playwright-client. To configure the virtual machine, you can follow this step-by-step guide

To install assistive-playwright-server globally, use the following command:

npm install -g assistive-playwright-server

Then you can start it with the following command:

assistive-playwright-server

Use the --help in the command line to see the available options.

assistive-playwright-server exposes two ports:

  • one simple tcp port (by default 4449) to receive screen reader messages from text-to-socket-engine.

  • one http port (by default 7779) for assistive-playwright-client to connect to it. It allows to start, control and stop browsers over the network, and to transmit over a web socket the screen reader messages received.

Note that both the http and tcp ports of assistive-playwright-server are not designed to be exposed to an unsafe network.
