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

force-ssl

Express middleware for forcing ssl. Redirects http requests to https. Tested on Express 4.x

Install

npm install force-ssl

Usage

Prerequisites for this example:

npm install express self-signed-https force-ssl

Javascript code (paste into app.js):

var express = require('express')
var selfSignedHttps = require('self-signed-https')
var forceSsl = require('force-ssl')

var app = express()
app.listen(80) // http on port 80
selfSignedHttps(app).listen(443) // https on port 443
app.use(forceSsl)

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.send('hello world')
})

You may need to run it as root (since it listens on port 80):

sudo node app.js

Now if you visit http://localhost, it should redirect you to https://localhost

Options

If HTTPS is running on a different port, then set the https_port option to specify it:

var express = require('express')
var selfSignedHttps = require('self-signed-https')
var forceSsl = require('force-ssl')

var app = express()
app.listen(3000) // http on port 3000
selfSignedHttps(app).listen(3001) // https on port 3001
forceSsl.https_port = 3001 // specify that https is running on port 3001
app.use(forceSsl)

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.send('hello world')
})

Now if you visit http://localhost:3000, it should redirect you to https://localhost:3001
