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 🙏

GiantDB middleware for object encryption

Downloads

Readme

giantdb-crypto

CI Test Coverage Maintainability

GiantDB middleware for object encryption, written in TypeScript. Requires GiantDB >= 3.0.0 to be installed as a peer dependency.

Install

npm i giantdb-crypto

Setup

Example:

import { GiantDB } from 'giantdb'
import { GiantDBCrypto } from 'giantdb-crypto'

const db = new GiantDB()

// register the middleware
db.use(new GiantDBCrypto())

That's all there is to it!

Note that this middleware cannot be added in retrospect. Items not previously encrypted will cause errors when it is suddenly introduced.

Usage

You will need to provide an encryption key with every action that reads or writes items. Examples:

const options = {
  encryption: {
    key: /* your encryption key (any 24-byte Buffer) */
  }
}

db.create(options).then((change) => {
  // ... everything else is normal
})

db.get(/* item id */).then((item) => {
  return item.getReadable(options).then((readable) => {
    // ... everything else is normal
  })
})

db.get(/* item id */).then((item) => {
  return item.getWritable(options).then((writable) => {
    // ... everything else is normal
  })
})

Encryption Algorithm

giantdb-crypto uses 192-bit AES with a per-item random initialization vector by default. The cipher is provided by Node's native crypto module, which in turn uses OpenSSL.
