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 Server is an easy to use node.js webserver based on express.js

##Integration Create folowing folder structure in your project root: All these files are optional.

projectRoot

+-- server
	+-- env
		+-- development.js		//Dev config
		+-- production.js		//Production config
	+-- database.js				//Database connections
	+-- express.js				//Express config and adons
	+-- init.js					//To be called when server was started
+-- routes
	+-- myRoutes.js				//Your routes
	+-- moreRoutes.js

##Start an express server

var server = new ExpressServer({
	name: 'My Express Server',
	port: 3000
});

###Options: name Set server name baseDir Set base dir. Default is process.cwd() confDir Path to config files from dir (Load confiles from $baseDir/conf, $baseDir/../conf/ per default) port Set default port (Default: 3000) requestLog Enable request logging. This value can be a boolean or a string. A String is interpreted as the log file path. (Default: /log/request.log). Request logging is disabled by default apiInfo Enables api info. Set a path where the infos should be shown

##Setting up env configurations

module.exports = function(app) {
	'use strict';

	app.use(function(req, res, next){
		//Do something
		next();
	});
};

##Connecting to a database

module.exports = function(app) {
	'use strict';

	//Make db connection, return a promise to make an async call

	return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
		db.connect((err) => {
			if (err) {
				reject(err);
				return;
			}

			resolve();
		});
	});
};

##Using express middlewares

module.exports = function(app) {
	'use strict';

	app.use(anyMiddleware);
};

##Init script

module.exports = function(app) {
	'use strict';

	//Doing something during server start progress
};

##Adding routes

Place routes under yourproject/routes/ All files in this folder will be called during the start progress

module.exports = function(app) {
	'use strict';

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