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 🙏

Twitter API authentication and fetching helpers

Managing oauth flow can be a pain and involve a lot of messy code. Flutter helps with that.

Auth flow example

var express = require('express');
var Flutter = require('flutter');

var flutter = new Flutter({
  consumerKey: 'MY CONSUMER KEY',
  consumerSecret: 'MY CONSUMER SECRET',
  loginCallback: 'http://my-host/twitter/callback',

  authCallback: function(req, res, next) {
    if (req.error) {
      // Authentication failed, req.error contains details
      return;
    }

    var accessToken = req.session.oauthAccessToken;
    var secret = req.session.oauthAccessTokenSecret;

    // Store away oauth credentials here

    // Redirect user back to your app
    res.redirect('/back/to/app');
  }
});

var app = express();

app.get('/twitter/connect', flutter.connect);

// URL used in loginCallback above
app.get('/twitter/callback', flutter.auth);


// Direct users to /twitter/connect to initiate oauth flow.

Querying Twitter API

Currently only GET functions are supported

// var {accessToken, secret} = retrieve credentials for request

flutter.API.get('search/tweets.json', { q: 'bacon' }, accessToken, secret, function(err, results) {
  console.log(results); // { statuses: [ { ...etc } ] }
});

Options

var flutter = new Flutter({

  // Pass this to log messages inside Flutter
  debug: function(msg){ ... },

  // Twitter API app credentials
  consumerKey: 'foo',
  consumerSecret: 'bar',

  // Twitter API login callback
  loginCallback: 'http://foo.com/authCallback',

  // the URL to redirect to after authorisation is complete and we have tokens
  // will not be used if authCallback is overridden
  completeCallback: 'http://foo.com/completeCallback',

  // called immediately before the user is redirected to Twitter's authorize
  // screen, used this to stash parameters etc on the request session
  connectCallback: function(req, res, next){},

  // Called on successful auth.
  // req.session contains auth parameters (see above)
  // if not defined, Flutter will redirect to completeCallback specified above
  authCallback: function(req, res, next){},

  // Cache lifetime to use for API requests. Set to something falsy to disable cache
  cache: 60000,

  // Redis config. Used for caching api responses.
  // `options` is passed to redis.createClient (https://github.com/NodeRedis/node_redis#rediscreateclient)
  redis: { host: 'localhost', port: 6379, database: 0, options: {} },

  // set this to a redis client to use instead of creating a new one
  cacheClient: redisClient,

  // Key prefix used on all cache keys in redis
  prefix: 'flutter:'
