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 🙏

Gun-server

Simply start a gun server

Travis branch npm

Why

I write a bunch of these servers. This library takes 10 lines down to 1-2. What can I say, I'm lazy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Usage

You can download it by running this in your terminal:

If you don't have node and npm, you can get it here

$ npm install gun-server

It exports a function that take optional configuration and returns your gun instance.

// import the server function
var startGunServer = require('gun-server')

// use said function
var gun = startGunServer()

// by default, it'll listen on http://localhost:8080

server([Object|Number|Function])

By default, the server starts on port 8080, but you can override it by passing a port number.

var server = require('gun-server')
server(3000) // starts on port 3000

Or if you pass a function, it'll be attached to the server as a request handler.

var server = require('gun-server')
server(function (req, res) {
	// request handler
})

If you pass an object, you can set the port, request handler, and gun instantiation options (or reuse an existing server).

server({
	handler: function (request, response) {
		// request handler (optional)
	},
	port: 8080, // default, optional
	server: new http.Server(), // optional
	options: {
		// this is passed to the gun constructor

		file: 'data.json' // default
	}
})
