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

☺ errorface

Express middleware for showing detailed error information when errors happen in your app.

Inspired by phperror.net.

Build Status

Example

Visit the example error page to see it in action.

Installation

npm install errorface

Usage

var express = require("express"),
    errorface = require("errorface");

var app = express();

app.get("/", function(req, res, next) {
    res.send("Hello World");
});

app.get("/error", function(req, res, next) {
    app.doesntExist();
});

app.get("/*", function(req, res) {
    throw new Error("Not Found");
});

app.use(errorface.errorHandler());

app.listen(3000);

Advanced Usage

You can extend the middleware with a couple options, here are the defaults:

// Default options
var options = {
    // Output to console.log
    log: console.log,
    // We don't output errors to log unless you want to
    logErrors: false,
    // We return html response page if requested
    disableHtml: false,
    // We return json response if requested
    disableJson: false,
    // Pass a function (or a true/false value) to determine whether the error page should be shown
    showPage: function(err, req) {
        return true;
    },
    // We use Mustache to render templates by default
    templateFunc: Mustache.render,
    // You can pass a string in as a template
    errorPageTemplate: null,
    // Or, you can pass a path to a file to use as the template
    errorPageTemplatePath: __dirname + "/views/errorPage.stache",
    // If you want to twiddle with the data before it gets sent to the template
    preProcessTemplateData: function(data) { return data; }
};

// Just pass them to the errorHandler when you register with your express app
app.use(errorface.errorHandler(options));

Custom Templating

Here is an example of the data that gets sent to the template in case you want to create your own.

{
   "headLine":{
      "type":"description",
      "details":{
         "error":"Error",
         "message":"Not Found"
