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

feathers-service-instagram-feed

A FeathersJS service that allows to fetch a given user's Instagram feed via its public endpoints.

npm version dependency status

Installing

Simply run npm install --save feathers-services-instagram-feed and you're good to go!

Usage

Add the following entry to your app configuration:

"instagram": {
    "username": "my_username",
    "mountPath": "/ig"
}

Where:

  • username is the account from which the service will fetch the media
  • mountPath is the API's endpoint that will serve the service's response

Then, require the service (if you're using the Feathers CLI, you can do this in your app's services/index.js file):

const instagramFeed = require('feathers-services-instagram-feed');

And finally, bind it to the app:

app.configure(instagramFeed);

Caching strategy

The service will cache Instagram's response for a lapse of 15 minutes, in order to prevent abuse.

Hey! Where are my hooks?

Don't worry! Despite the service doesn't include hooks by default, you can apply them after the service is configured in your app.

Let's suppose your API uses feathers-hooks-jsonapify(*) and you want the user's Instagram feed also serialized as JSON API.

(*) = shameless self-promotion

The straight-forward way

// app.js, at the "requires" section
const jsonapify = require('feathers-hooks-jsonapify');

// app.js, after `app.configure(services)`
app.service(app.get('instagram').mountPath).hooks({ after: { find: [ jsonapify() ] } });

The Feathers CLI way

// services/instagram/instagram.hooks.js
'use strict';

const jsonapify = require('feathers-hooks-jsonapify');

module.exports = {
  before: { /* ... */ }
  after: {
    all: [],
    find: [jsonapify()],
    get: [],
    create: [],
    update: [],
    patch: [],
    remove: []
  },
  error: { /* ... */ }
};

// app.js, at the "requires" section
const instagramHooks = require('./services/instagram/instagram.hooks');

// app.js, after `app.configure(services)`
app.service(app.get('instagram').mountPath).hooks(instagramHooks);
