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

fh-sync

Node.js implementation of the FeedHenry Data Syncronisation Server. To be used in conjunction with the FeedHenry Data Syncronisation Client.

Dependencies

You will need a local Mongodb server and Redis server. For information on setting up these

Mongodb see

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

Redis see

https://redis.io/topics/quickstart

Running on Openshift

The simplest way to run sync server on Openshift is to use Feedhenry Sync Server. It includes Openshift template that sets up Redis and Mongo, and creates the running sync server instance. It is also possible to use the repository for running sync server locally.

Example Server

To run the example server start MongoDB and Redis locally on their default ports then issue the following commands in this repository:

cd examples/basic-express-example/
npm install
node server.js

When the server has started try making the following cURL request:

curl http://localhost:3000/sync/messages -X POST --data '{"fn": "syncRecords"}' -H "content-type:application/json"

Usage

npm install --save fh-sync

This will install the latest version of fh-sync and save the installed version in your package.json

To use sync in your application, require it and call connect.

var sync = require('fh-sync');

var mongodbConnectionString = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/sync';
var redisUrl = 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379';

sync.api.connect(mongodbConnectionString, {}, redisUrl, function(){});

To configure a dataset for syncing, wait for the sync:ready event, then init the dataset.

sync.api.getEventEmitter().on('sync:ready', function() {
  console.log('sync ready');

  sync.api.init('myDataset', {
    syncFrequency: 10 // seconds
  }, function() {});
});
