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 🙏

js-standard-style Build Status

what's this for?

Let's say you want to write a small module of functionality - responding to a single http route, for example - and want to give the module a way to register itself without depending on a specific framework, like connect, express, or hapi.

This lets you implement functionality like socket.io's `socketio.attach(httpServer)``

usage

var httpAttach = require('http-attach')

function middleware (req, res, next) {
    console.log('this middleware is neat & useful')
    next()
}

middleware.attach = function (httpServer) {
    httpAttach(httpServer, middleware)
}


module.exports = middleware

httpServer should be an HttpServer or HttpsServer instance.

This replaces the existing request event handler so you can additional control point for your program logic. You can yield to the existing handler by calling the next() function you get as the third argument, like connect-style middleware.

If there is no existing request handler, calling next() will end the request with a 404 status code.

installation

$ npm install http-attach

running the tests

From package root:

$ npm install
$ npm test
