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

connect-slashes

Trailing slash redirect middleware for Connect and Express.js. Useful for creating canonical urls in your Node.js applications.

Installation

$ npm install connect-slashes

Usage

var connect = require("connect")
  , slashes = require("connect-slashes");

connect() // or express()
  .use(connect.static())
  .use(slashes()) // must come after static middleware!
  .listen(3000);

Alternatively, you can pass false as the first argument to .slashes() in order to remove trailing slashes instead of appending them:

.use(slashes(false));

Additional settings

You can also pass a second argument with an options object. For example, if an application is behind a reverse proxy server that removes part of the URL (a base_path) before proxying to the application, then the base can be specified with an option:

.use(slashes(true, { base: "/blog" })); // prepends a base url to the redirect

By default, all redirects are using the 301 Moved Permanently header. You can change this behavior by passing in the optional code option:

.use(slashes(true, { code: 302 })); // 302 Temporary redirects

You can also set additional headers to the redirect response with the headers option:

.use(slashes(true, { headers: { "Cache-Control": "public" } }));

Notes

  1. Only GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests will be redirected (to avoid losing POST/PUT data)
  2. This middleware will append or remove a trailing slash to all request urls. This includes filenames (/app.css => /app.css/), so it may break your static files. Make sure to .use() this middleware only after the connect.static() middleware.
