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

gcloud-promise

A promises based node interface to Google cloud services.

Currently, support is implemented for

  • Google Cloud Storage and
  • Google Datastore.

Google provides a gcloud, a node binding which is similar in spirit. This project grew out of a need/desire to use a promises based interface. The code is much smaller, and IMHO, much easier to understand. YMMV.

Installation

Simply,

npm install gcloud-promise

Get gcloud credentials

Get credentials to access your datastore

Follow instructions at: https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/activate The Google cloud API provides 2 mechanisms of access:

  1. From Google Compute Engine
  2. From other platforms (like localhost, AWS etc).

At this point, only #2 has been tested with this library.

  • create a service account and
  • download credentials to project_keyFile.json (keep this away from the main code directory and never commit it to the same VCS as your code)

Setup environment variable to track the key file.

export GCLOUD_KEYFILE=/path/to/project_keyFile.json

Library initialization

var acct = {
        keyFilename: process.env.GCLOUD_KEYFILE,
        project_id: ‘myProject’,
        cust_id: ‘cust1’
    },
    gcloud = require(‘gcloud-promise’)(acct.keyFilename);

Google cloud storage

var ds = gcloud.datastore(acct.project_id),
    data = [{
        name: ‘entity1’,
        prop1: ‘just a prop’,
        prop2: 23,
        prop3: 42.1,
        prop4: true
    }, {
        name: ‘entity2’,
        prop1: ‘just a prop again’,
        prop2: 76,
        prop3: 3.147,
        prop4: false
    }]
ds.transaction().then(function(transaction) {
    /* Please understand datastore keys and entities.
       This loop converts a simple javascript object array
       into an entities array that the datastore can save, query and fetch
    */
    var entities = data.reduce(function(acc, datum) {
        var key = ds.key(acct.cust_id, [[‘EntityKind’, datum.name]]);
        acc.push(ds.entity.toProto(datum, key));
    });
    transaction
      .upsert(entities)
      .commit()
      .then(function(result) {
        if (result.statusCode === 200) {
            console.log(‘Commit succeeded:’ + result.statusCode + ‘ ‘ + JSON.stringify(result.body));
        } else {
            throw(‘Commit failure ‘ + result.statusCode + ‘ ‘ + JSON.stringify(result.errors));
        }
      });
}).catch(function(err) {
    throw(‘Commit failed:’ + err);
})
ds.gql().

Google storage

var stor = gcloud.storage(acct.project_id),
    test = {
        bucket_name: acct.project_id + ‘-test-bucket-123456’,
        file_name: acct.project_id + ‘-test-file-123456’,
        data: ‘{“key1”: “val1”, “key2”: “val2”}’
    };
stor.bucket.create(test.bucket_name).then(function(d){
    console.log('\n -> created bucket:' + JSON.stringify(d));
}).then(function() {
    return stor.bucket.get(test.bucket_name).then(function(d){
        console.log('\n -> get bucket:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
}).then(function(){
    return stor.bucket.list().then(function(d) {
        console.log('\n -> list buckets:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
}).then(function() {
    return stor.file.create(test.bucket_name, test.file_name, test.data).then(function(d) {
        console.log('\n -> create file:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
}).then(function() {
    return stor.file.create(test.bucket_name, test.file_name, test.data).then(function(d) {
        console.log('\n -> create2 file:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
}).then(function() {
    return stor.file.get(test.bucket_name, test.file_name).then(function(d) {
        console.log('\n -> get file:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
}).then(function() {
    return stor.file.delete(test.bucket_name, test.file_name).then(function(d) {
        console.log('\n -> delete file:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
}).then(function() {
    return stor.bucket.delete(test.bucket_name).then(function(d) {
        console.log('\n -> deleted bucket:' + JSON.stringify(d));
    });
});
