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 🙏

AWS Auth Helper

This small application assists with retrieving temporary AWS environment variables from credentials that require 2-factor authentication and assuming an AWS IAM role.

This can be used for requiring a 2-factor authentication code to be entered before applications like Serverless and Apex deploy your Lambda applications.

The temporary credentials are sent to stdout and can be evaled to use them as environment variables in Bash commands.

# As part of your Node project
npm install aws-auth-helper --save

# package.json
...
    "scripts": {
        "deploy": "eval \"`aws-auth-helper` serverless deploy\""
    }
...
# Installed globally
npm install -g aws-auth-helper
eval "`aws-auth-helper [aws-profile-name]` npm run deploy"

The AWS profile is selected by from the first item that matches:

  1. passing a string after the aws-auth-helper command
  2. AWS_PROFILE environment variable
  3. default as the default

If you choose to use AWS_PROFILE make sure that you are passing the environment variable to the (sub)shell that calls aws-auth-helper.

For example:

export AWS_PROFILE && eval \"aws-auth-helper apex deploy\"

Requirements

You must have an AWS profile setup in your ~/.aws/credentials file similar to the following:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = ABCDEFG
aws_secret_access_key = abcdefg

You should also have a role based configuration that uses MFA in your ~/.aws/config file:

[profile default]
mfa_serial = arn:aws:iam::1234567890:mfa/username
output = json
region = us-east-1
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::1234567890:role/DesiredRoleName
source_profile = default
