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 🙏

Readme

Blacktide

Blacktide is a lightweight back-end framework with optimization in security and based on Express.

Notes

* Beta version, not yet ready for production
* Works great stand alone, works better with the blacktide-cli tool
* For quick development
* REST
* No static content
* No sessions

Installation

$ npm i -S blacktide

Configuration

See blacktide-cli for more information about the cli tool to aid development in Blacktide.

How to run with pm2

$ NODE_ENV=production pm2 start services/ --name 'myapp'

Getting started (with blacktide-cli)

Lets create a very simple alerts API, first we create the folder for the project and enter it:

$ mkdir alerts && cd alerts

Creating the app, remember to select to use mongoose

$ blacktide generate app alerts

We are going to need a model for that

$ blacktide generate model alerts

After all that is done, dont forget to install everything, before this step is a very good time to install aditional dependencies!

$ npm i

We have all we need to get started editing some code:


'use strict';

const blacktide = require( 'blacktide' );

blacktide
	.service( '', { // the / is optional

		create: ( req, res, next ) =>
		{

			blacktide
				.db
				.models
				.alerts
				.create( {
					type: 'info',
					text: req.body.text
				}, ( err, doc ) => {

					if ( err )
					{
						return next( err );
					}

					res.json( doc );

				} );

		}

	} );

With that done we can create alerts on our database!

Usage

Simple

	const blacktide = require( 'blacktide' );

	blacktide
		.service( '/hello', { // the / is optional

			get: ( req, res, next ) =>
			{

				'use strict';

				res.json( { content: 'hello world' } );

			}

		} );
At root or /

	const blacktide = require( 'blacktide' );

	blacktide
		.service( '', { // to attach to / just leave the service name empty

			get: ( req, res, next ) =>
			{

				'use strict';

				res.json( { content: 'hello world' } );

			}

		} );
You can also access Express via:

	const blacktide = require( 'blacktide' );

	blacktide
		.app
		.use( ( req, res, next ) => {

		} );
Example of a full service:

	const blacktide = require( 'blacktide' );

	blacktide
		.service( 'users', {

			// Called before all routes.
			before ( req, res, next ) {

				'use strict';

				req.passing = true;

				next();

			},

			// /users/1
			get ( req, res ) {

				'use strict';

				res.json( {
					body: req.body,
					params: req.params,
					query: req.query
				} );

			},

			// /users
			find ( req, res ) {

				'use strict';

				res.json( {
					body: req.body,
					params: req.params,
					query: req.query
				} );

			},

			// /users
			create ( req, res ) {

				'use strict';

				res.json( {
					body: req.body,
					params: req.params,
					query: req.query
				} );

			},

			// /users/1
			put ( req, res ) {

				'use strict';

				res.json( {
					body: req.body,
					params: req.params,
					query: req.query
				} );

			},

			// /users/1
			patch ( req, res ) {

				'use strict';

				res.json( {
					body: req.body,
					params: req.params,
					query: req.query
				} );

			},

			// /users/1
			delete ( req, res ) {

				'use strict';

				res.json( {
					body: req.body,
					params: req.params,
					query: req.query
				} );

			},

			// Called after all routes.
			after ( req, res, next ) {

				'use strict';

				console.log( req.passing );

				next();

			}

		} );
