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 🙏

Readme

Fake SMTP Server

Fake SMTP Server is an email testing tool for QA & development teams. It allows manual testing in a web interface, and automated testing via an API.

API

Listing all received emails

Received mails are listed on http://localhost:1080/api/emails, and looks like this:

[
  {
    "attachments": [],
    "text": "Hi Bob!",
    "textAsHtml": "<p>Hi Bob!</p>",
    "subject": "Hi",
    "date": "2017-09-18T16:12:16.000Z",
    "to": {
      "value": [
        {
          "address": "[email protected]",
          "name": "Bob"
        }
      ],
      "html": "<span class=\"mp_address_group\"><span class=\"mp_address_name\">Bob</span> &lt;<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\" class=\"mp_address_email\">[email protected]</a>&gt;</span>",
      "text": "Bob <[email protected]>"
    },
    "from": {
      "value": [
        {
          "address": "[email protected]",
          "name": "Joe"
        }
      ],
      "html": "<span class=\"mp_address_group\"><span class=\"mp_address_name\">Joe</span> &lt;<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\" class=\"mp_address_email\">[email protected]</a>&gt;</span>",
      "text": "Joe <[email protected]>"
    },
    "messageId": "<1433879119.43.1505751136615@[10.143.108.87]>",
    "html": false
  }
]

You can filter emails with the following parameters:

  • from: filter sender
  • to: filter recipient
  • since: filter email date
  • until: filter email date

Example:

    GET http://localhost:1080/api/[email protected]&[email protected]&since=2017-09-18T12:00:00Z&until=2017-09-19T00:00:00Z
Viewing headers in responses

By default, fake-smtp-server will not capture custom headers in emails. To enable headers, start the server with the --headers flag. If enabled, headers will be serialized as an object type.

For reference for what headers look like, consult Nodemailer's documentation, but keep in mind that the HTTP endpoint returns plain JSON objects rather than Maps.

Removing all received email

To remove all emails without restarting the server:

    DELETE http://localhost:1080/api/emails

Web interface

Go to http://localhost:1080

  npm install -g fake-smtp-server
