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 🙏

ethereumjs-connect

Build Status Coverage Status npm version

ethereumjs-connect automates a few basic Ethereum network connection tasks: looks up the network ID, the coinbase address, sets the from field for transaction objects, and (optionally) will setup functions and events ABIs for use with ethrpc. For examples of contracts and API inputs, see augur-contracts. (Important note: the static API setup in ethereumjs-connect is not yet compatible with web3!)

Usage

$ npm install ethereumjs-connect

To use ethereumjs-connect in Node.js, simply require it:

var connector = require("ethereumjs-connect");

A minified, browserified file dist/ethereumjs-connect.min.js is included for use in the browser. Including this file attaches a connector object to window:

<script src="dist/ethereumjs-connect.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

To specify the connection endpoint, pass your RPC/IPC connection info to connector.connect:

// Connect with only HTTP RPC support
connector.connect({http: "http://localhost:8545"});

// Connect to a local node using HTTP (on port 8545) and WebSockets (on port 8546)
connector.connect({http: "http://localhost:8545", ws: "ws://localhost:8546"});

// Connect to a local Ethereum node with IPC support
var ipcpath = require("path").join(process.env.HOME, ".ethereum", "geth.ipc");
var vitals = connector.connect({http: "http://localhost:8545", ipc: ipcpath});
// vitals fields;
//   networkID  // which blockchain you're connected to
//   coinbase   // sets the "from" address for outgoing transactions
//   contracts  // contract addresses
//   api        // static API data (for use with ethrpc transactions)

If the last argument provided to connector.connect is a function, it will connect asynchronously:

connector.connect({http: "https://eth3.augur.net", ws: "ws://ws.augur.net"}, function (vitals) {
  /* woohoo */
});

By default, vitals.coinbase is used to set the from field for outgoing transactions. However, you can manually set it to something else (for example, for client-side transactions):

info.abi.functions = connector.setFrom(info.abi.functions, "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000b0b");

Tests

$ npm test
