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-use-request

This is a small library for the nodejs express server, based on the async-hooks mechanism. It allows you to receive the current processed request from anywhere.

Installation

npm i express-use-request

API

middleware

First you need to connect middleware. It is recommended to connect it one of the first.

// index.js

let { middleware } = require('express-use-request');
let anyLib = require('./any-lib.js');

...

const app = express();

app.use(middleware);
app.get('/', (req, res) => {

    /**
     * There is no need passing req to anyMetod and to any nested deeper.
     */
    let result = anyLib.anyMetod({foo: 'bar'});
    
    res.status(200).send(result);
});

app.listen(3000);

useRequest

With the useRequest function, you can get the request to be processed anywhere. It may contain supporting information related to a specific request, which now does not need to be passed through the entire callstack.

// ./any-lib.js

const { useRequest } = require('express-use-request);

module.exports = {
    anyMethod: (params) => {
        // With the useRequest function, you can access a request from anywhere.
        let request = useRequest();
        
        ...
        
    }
};
