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 🙏

Fast and secure image downloading functionality

Readme

fast-image-downloader

Description

A fast and secure image downloader that relies on the first buffer bytes ("magic numbers") to determine file type. This module supports download timeouts, verifying HTTP status codes, and pre-defined allowed file types.

Installation

npm install fast-image-downloader --save

Usage

var fid = require('fast-image-downloader');

var TIMEOUT = 2000;	// timeout in ms
var ALLOWED_TYPES = ['jpg', 'png'];	// allowed image types
var REQ_OPTS = {strictSSL: false};	// Optional: Can be any valid options for the node request module

fid('http://example.com/image.jpg', TIMEOUT, ALLOWED_TYPES, REQ_OPTS, function(err, data){
	if (err) {
		// err will contain code, message, download time, file type (if known), and HTTP status code (if known)
		console.log(err.error);
	} else {
		// data will contain status code, file type (map of ext and mime), download time, and buffer body
		console.log(data.statusCode);

		// handle data.body buffer here...
	}
});

Supported Types

The third argument, supported types, takes an array of image types (in extension code format). The following are supported types:

  • jpg
  • png
  • gif
  • webp
  • tiff
  • bmp

To allow all of the above, you can optionally pass in null or an empty array.

Error Object

The error object contains the following:

{
	code: 1,
	error: 'Invalid file type',
	statusCode: null,
	fileType: null,
	time: 10
}

The statusCode and fileType properties may be null if the error was returned before these could be determined. For example, if the status code was 404, there is no need to determine the file type.

Success Object

The success object contains the following:

{
	code: 0,
	statusCode: 200,
	fileType: {
		ext: 'jpg',
		mime: 'image/jpg'
	},
	time: 150,
	body: <Buffer ...>
}

Testing

mocha --recursive tests/

To stress-test the module / your internet connection, run the stress.js file with node: node tests/stress.js.
