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 🙏

fh-mbaas-express is the FeedHenry MBaaS running on top of Express.

| | Project Info | | --------------- | ------------- | | License: | Apache License, Version 2.0 | | Build: | npm | | Documentation: | http://docs.feedhenry.com/v3/api/cloud_api.html | | Issue tracker: | https://issues.jboss.org/projects/FH/summary | | Mailing list: | feedhenry-dev (subscribe) | | IRC: | #feedhenry channel in the freenode network. |

Usage

Add the following to the 'dependencies' section of the app's 'package.json' file:

"fh-mbaas-express" : "~5.6.1",
"express" : "~4.14.0"

Add a file to the app's 'application.js', with the following contents:

var express = require('express');
var mbaasExpress = require('fh-mbaas-express');
var cors = require('cors');

// list the endpoints which you want to make securable here
var securableEndpoints;
// fhlint-begin: securable-endpoints
securableEndpoints = ['/hello'];
// fhlint-end

var app = express();

// Enable CORS for all requests
app.use(cors());

// Note: the order which we add middleware to Express here is important!
app.use('/sys', mbaasExpress.sys(securableEndpoints));
app.use('/mbaas', mbaasExpress.mbaas);

// Note: important that this is added just before your own Routes
app.use(mbaasExpress.fhmiddleware());

// allow serving of static files from the public directory
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

// fhlint-begin: custom-routes
app.use('/', require('./lib/cloud.js')());
// fhlint-end

// Important that this is last!
app.use(mbaasExpress.errorHandler());

var port = process.env.FH_PORT || process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT || 8001;
var server = app.listen(port, function() {
  console.log("App started at: " + new Date() + " on port: " + port);
});

When running on the FeedHenry platform, this module should not be used directly. Instead, fh-mbaas-api module should be used and an instance of fh-mbaas-express cab be obtained via fh-mbaas-api. E.g.

var mbaasApi = require('fh-mbaas-api');
var mbaasExpress = mbaasApi.mbaasExpress();

Customising & Extending

The above application.js is just an Expressjs application - it's easily extensible.

Custom APIs

You can create custom API handlers in the Express format by doing:

app.use('/myapi', function(req, res){
  res.end('My custom response');
});

See Express Router for more information.

Serving Static Files

Express has a built-in static file server. In this example, we host files under the public directory:

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

REST API

Cloud

(POST | GET | PUT | DELETE) /:someFunction

Authentication : Optional - can be enabled globally or on a per-endpoint basis under "Endpoints" section of the studio. Response formats : JSON, binary, plain text

Headers

x-fh-auth-app : API key of your application, found under the "details" section of the studio.

Body:

JSON format - paramaters to be passed to the exported function, see 'Writing API Functions'.

Response:

Result as passed to the callback function of the exported function - see 'Writing API Functions'.

Writing API functions

See Express Router for more information.

function helloRoute() {
  var hello = new express.Router();
  hello.use(bodyParser());

  // GET REST endpoint - query params may or may not be populated
  hello.get('/hello', function(req, res) {
    var world = req.query ? req.query.hello : 'World';

    res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type":"application/json"});
    res.end(JSON.stringify({msg: 'Hello ' + world}));
  });
  return hello;
}

mBaaS

POST /mbaas/db

Authentication : Required - App API key goes here. Response format : JSON

Headers

x-fh-auth-app : API key of your application, found under the "details" section of the studio.

POST Body:

JSON body - same as $fh.db params. A summary of body options follows - For more, see $fh.db docs

{
    "act": "create|update|list|delete|deleteall",

Backward compatability with main.js

If you want to use the older fh-nodeapp/fh-webapp style main.js, you need to change the /cloud endpoint in your application.js as follows:

var mainjs = require('./lib/main.js');
app.use('/cloud', mbaas.cloud(mainjs));

Additionally, you need to ammend the call to sys for secure endpoints:

app.use('/sys', mbaas.sys(securableEndpoints, mainjs));
