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 🙏

NPM Version NPM Downloads Node.js Version Build Status Coverage Status Gittip

Masquerade as other users via x-masquerade-as header middleware. Plays well with passport.

Add it as middleware. The first parameter is a function that gets a user by id:

var express = require('express');
var masquerade = require('express-masquerade');

var app = express();

app.use(masquerade(function(id, next) {
  User.find(id).complete(next);
}));

This will set req.user to the user with an id of 2:

curl localhost:3000/profile --header "x-masquerade-as: 2"

Installation

$ npm install express-masquerade

Options

Pass options as the second parameter:

app.use(require('express-masquerade')(getUser, options));

header (string)

Use a different header than x-masquerade-as.

var options = {
  header: 'masquerading-as'
};

authorize (function)

Set a function to authorize whether or not the user has permission to masquerade. Should return true or false.

var options = {
  authorize: function(req) {
    return req.user.role === 'admin';
  }
};
