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 🙏

Dropbox Session Upload

About

Dropbox Session Upload provides a wrapper around the Dropbox Node Package. Session Uploading via the Dropbox API is used for files that are large than 150mb. This section of the API can be complicated and this package hopes to provide a clean wrapper around this complicated API. This wrapper also supports concurrent file uploading out of the box.

Requirements

  • Node 8.3.0 or greater

Installation

npm install dropbox_session_upload

Usage

Upload Files Basic

This Example can be found in /examples/simple.js

// import modules
const fs = require("fs")
const {upload} = require("dropbox_session_upload")

// setup files to upload
const files = [
  {
    file: fs.createReadStream("./datafile.txt"),
    saveLocation: "/datafile1.txt"
  },
  {
    file: fs.createReadStream("./datafile.txt"),
    saveLocation: "/datafile2.txt"
  },
  {
    file: fs.createReadStream("./datafile.txt"),
    saveLocation: "/datafile3.txt"
  }
]

// upload the files
upload(files, process.env.DROPBOXTOKEN, true /* debug mode, defaults to false */)
  .catch(error => console.log(error))
  .then(() => console.log("Done Uploading!"))

Upload with Progress Tracking

This Example can be found in /examples/progressTracking.js

Adding progress tracking is simple, but due to the dropbox api progress will only be updated every 8mb. This is the size of chunks this packages uploads at once. So you will find that progress jumps in 8mb chunks. While annoying it can still be helpful to know where your file is at in the upload process.

// import modules
const fs = require("fs")
const { upload, progress } = require("dropbox_session_upload")

// setup files to upload
const files = [
  {
    file: fs.createReadStream("./datafile.txt"),
    saveLocation: "/datafile1.txt",
    id: "1" // required for progress
  },
  {
    file: fs.createReadStream("./datafile.txt"),
    saveLocation: "/datafile1.txt",
    id: "2" // required for progress
  },
  {
    file: fs.createReadStream("./datafile.txt"),
    saveLocation: "/datafile1.txt",
    id: "3" // required for progress
  }
]

// upload the files
upload(files, process.env.DROPBOXTOKEN)
  .catch(error => console.log(error))
  .then(() => console.log("Files Done!"))

// listen for updates to the progress
// this will return `id` and `percentage`
progress(data => console.log(data))

Things to note when uploading

  • This library will automatically strip out the following characters from saveLocation * | & ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) [ ] { } | - _ = + < > ' " < > to comply with dropbox file name requirements.
