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 🙏

Check Anything 👁

npm i check-anything

Check anything from URLs to Email addresses.

Usage

import { isUrl, isHttpsUrl, isEmail } from 'check-anything'

isHttpsUrl('https://github.com') // true

isUrl('ftp://foo.bar/baz') // true

isEmail('[email protected]') // true

Https vs Http vs FTP vs other URLs

You usually want to use isHttpsUrl instead of isUrl. It will limit the URLs to just regular https:// urls and also has the smallest footprint.

isHttpsUrl

isHttpsUrl is opiniated, it will return false for the following list to keep the source code small and simple.

  • http URLs
  • ftp URLs
  • IP URLs (existing of only numbers)
  • password URLs
  • mailto URLs
import { isHttpsUrl } from 'check-anything'

// returns true:
isHttpsUrl('https://github.com')
isHttpsUrl('https://ギットハブ.com') // special characters in domain
isHttpsUrl('https://github.com/ギットハブ') // special characters in URI

// returns false:
isHttpsUrl('http://github.com') // http
isHttpsUrl('ftp://foo.bar/baz') // ftp
isHttpsUrl('https://142.42.1.1/') // ip
isHttpsUrl('https://userid:[email protected]') // password
isHttpsUrl('mailto:[email protected]') // mailto URLs

isUrl

isUrl on the other hand will return true for all of these, except for the mailto: URL.

import { isUrl } from 'check-anything'

// returns true:
isUrl('https://github.com')
isUrl('https://ギットハブ.com') // special characters in domain
isUrl('https://github.com/ギットハブ') // special characters in URI
isUrl('http://github.com') // http
isUrl('ftp://foo.bar/baz') // ftp
isUrl('https://142.42.1.1/') // ip
isUrl('https://userid:[email protected]') // password

// returns false:
isUrl('mailto:[email protected]') // mailto URLs

TODO

Let me know if you are interested in any of these functions, I will consider adding them:

  • [ ] isProbableUrl — to allow URLs like 'github.com' without protocol (has chance of failure though)
  • [ ] isFtpUrl
  • [ ] isPasswordUrl
  • [ ] isIpUrl
  • [ ] isMailtoUrl
