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

camouflage-rewrite

Express middleware to rewrite a request to a different URL and optional also replace it in the response content. This middleware replaces the Host header field and the requested path with given URL. All middlewares used after the rewrite middleware will see the patched header field in req.headers and the patched path in baseUrl and originalUrl. Optional it's also possible to rewrite the response content. The res object is hijacked to pipe the response stream through a string replacement transform. No code changes in the other middlewares or handlers are required. The proxy header fields X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Proto are used to support https: URLs.

Usage

The module returns a function to build a middleware. The function must be called with a single options object. The following options are supported:

  • mediaTypes: An array of media types which will be processed. The Accept header field is used for the test. (optional)
  • rewriteContent: If it's set to true the response content will be also rewritten.
  • rewriteHeaders: If it's set to true the response headers will be also rewritten.
  • url: The internal/camouflage URL which will replace the request URL.

Example

// load the module
var rewrite = require('camouflage-rewrite')

// add the routing
app.use(rewrite({
  rewriteContent: true,
  url: 'http://example.com/base/'
})

app.use(function (req, res) {
  // internal the variables will have the following values:
  console.log(req.headers.host) // example.com
  console.log(req.baseUrl) // /base

  // the response to 'http://example.org/path' will be patched like this
  res.end('http://example.com/base/path') // http://example.org/path
})
