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 🙏

Express Combo

Combo handler for express applications.

Build Status

Goals

  • register and serve static assets from a specific folder
  • register and serve static assets based on an explicit mapping to protect other files that should not be exposed
  • serve combo urls based on the static assets that were registered

Installation

Install using npm:

$ npm install express-combo

Usage

var express = require('express'),
    app = express(),
    statichandler = require('express-combo');

app.get('/static', statichandler.folder('public', 'full/path/to/folder/'));

app.get('/static', statichandler.map('protected', {
    'something/foo.js": "full/path/to/something/foo.js',
    'bar.js": "full/path/to/something/bar.js'
}));

app.get('/static', statichandler.combine({
    comboBase: '/combo~',
    comboSep: '~'
}));

The example above will allow you to access any file within the folder full/path/to/folder/ by following the route:

  • http://hostname:port/static/public/any/file.js

In this case, serving files without any protection, which means all files could be accessed. Under the hood this is equivalent to use express.static middleware. It also expose two files, but this time adding some explicit mapping for them, exposing:

  • http://hostname:port/static/protected/something/foo.js
  • http://hostname:port/static/protected/bar.js

It protects any other file within the those folders. It also provides a nice abstraction where filenames and paths in the filesystem are not longer relevant when it comes to serve them, and the mapping has to be explicit.

And last, but not least, it turns on the combo capabilities for all the previous registered assets, and doing so by defining the separator token. As a result, a urls like these will be valid:

  • http://hostname:port/static/combo~something/foo.js~bar.js
  • http://hostname:port/static/combo~any/file.js~something/foo.js~bar.js

Note: the /static prefix is optional, and you can remove it all together, and even use app.use() directly for those middleware.

TODO

  • support custom filters (regex) to include and/or exclude assets thru folder and map.
  • css relative path correction when serving thru combo
