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 🙏

Fabric Remote JS Client

This is a javascript interface to Fabric Remote. It allows you to remotely call Fabric commands over the HTTP REST API provided by Fabric Remote. It works both as a node module (server-site) and in the browser, thanks to browserify.

What is Fabric Remote?

It's a project I'm working on that I haven't open sourced yet. But this is the JS interface for it!

Installation

For the browser:

bower install fabric-remote

For node:

npm install fabric-remote

Usage

Fabric Remote Js provides the FabricRemote object. This needs to be configured to point to the correct Fabric Remote server, and given the authorization credentials:

var fr = new FabricRemote("http://localhost", 1234, "opensesame");

Now you can get a list of available tasks:

fr.listTasks();

This returns a promise that will return a result like this:

{
  host_type: {
  name: "host_type",
  description: "returns the host type"
},
  check_foo: {
  name: "check_foo",
  description: null
  }
}

Here is how you execute tasks. This allows you to pass args and kwargs, and you can also pass a list of tasks.

fr.execute([
  {task: "host_type", args: ["foo", "bar"], kwargs: {"arg1":"val1"}}
])

Promise interface

You can call .progress() on the promise to get regular updates of the streaming output of the task execution. .success() will get called with the output of your execution.

TODO

Error handling sucks.
