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 🙏

:herb: Data Leaf

Dynamic data sharing made simple.

The Data Leaf app allows users to share results of SQL queries by associating them with a URL that can be easily shared and embedded into reports, spreadsheet and dashboards. When the URL is requested, the query is executed and results returned in CSV format.

  • The Data Leaf URL can be embedded into Excel and Google Sheets
  • Lightweight interface
  • Supports Postgres and MySQL targets
  • Individual user accounts
  • Duplicate & Edit Leaf definitions for quick customization
  • The Data Leaf URL contains only the domain name and ID of the Leaf definition

Tech

Data Leaf uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

  • AngularJS - HTML enhanced for web apps!
  • Bootstrap - great UI boilerplate for modern web apps
  • node.js - evented I/O for the backend
  • Express - fast node.js network app framework
  • node-dbi - Database package wrapper to support multiple RDBMS engines
  • MongoDB - JSON document data store
  • ngclipboard - Easy Angular access to the clipboard for copying the Data Leaf URL
  • mongoose - ORM for node access to MongoDB
  • mongoose-encryption - encrypt documents/fields in MongoDB on the fly
  • Passport - For local user account support, authentication, and OAUTH support
  • angular-better-placeholders - Maintains better placeholder visibility

Supplemental Tech worth mentioning:

  • npm - Node package manager
  • bower - Client package manager
  • connect-flash - Passport/Express access to browser Flash area
  • jQuery - for Bootstrap support only
  • pg - Node Postgres driver, required by node-dbi
  • mysql - Node MySQL driver, required by node-dbi
  • ejs - Express rendering engine
  • npm-check-updates - Node package updater
  • nodemon - Node runner with automatic restarts

Installation

Prerequisites:

Node NPM Bower MongoDB

Install package

$ npm install data-leaf

Set ENV variable for document encryption secret key <— Do NOT lose this key

$ export SK=someUnguessableString

Start the server

$ cd data-leaf
$ node server.js

Todos

  • Move MongoDB credentials to env-specific config file
