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 🙏

country-ip-spoofer

A fully typed Node.js module that generates a random IP address that is associated with a desired country.

This module is especially useful if you use an API that requires an IP address to be passed to it in order to realize the country of a user, and you want to spoof the user country.

Important notes

This module leverages the IP2Location™ data set, which is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0.
As such, the module does not package the actual data, and you are responsible to load it to the module while not infringing with said licence.

  • For better results, refresh your data set once in a while.

Installation

npm install country-ip-spoofer

Or

yarn add country-ip-spoofer

Setup

Before you begin, you need to prepare the data set to be used by the module (only perform once).

Please download the IPV4 CSV file from IP2Location™ and run the following temp script (install the csv package if it is missing - you can delete it later):

import {createDataTable} from 'country-ip-spoofer/dataTableCreator';

const csfFile = 'path to the downloaded csv file';
const outputFile = 'path to output the data set';

createDataTable(csfFile, outputFile)
    .then(() => {
        console.log('done');
    });

Then save the output file to your project.

Usage

import * as request from 'request'; // We only use this to test the resulting ips
import { getIpOfCountry, setDataTable, DataTable } from 'country-ip-spoofer';
import * as dataSet from 'path to your json data set form previous step';

// Load the data set before yuo begin
setDataTable(dataSet as DataTable);

const countryCode = 'AU';

const ip = getIpOfCountry(countryCode);
console.log(ip); // prints '103.246.130.28' for example

// Test out the ip location
const requestParams = {
    url: `http://ip-api.com/json/${ip}`,
    json: true,
};
request(requestParams, (err, result) => {
    const realCountryCode = result.toJSON().body.countryCode;
    console.log(realCountryCode); // Should print 'AU'
    console.log(realCountryCode === countryCode ? 'Success' : 'Fail'); // Should print 'Success'
});
