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

http-headers-validation

Introduction

This is a small utility for validating HTTP header names and values according to the standart. It is useful in modules which expect users to provide some headers through options.

Install

This module can be used as npm package. To install it type:

$ npm install http-headers-validation

in the command line.

Also if you want to use the module as a client side library just import the index.js file through a <script> tag into your html document. The API is exposed through a global variable called headerUtils.

API

validateHeaderName(headerName)

  • headerName - A non-empty string representing the header name which we want to validate.

The function returns false if the headerName is invalid according to the standart and true otherwise.

var headerUtils = require('http-headers-validation');

headerUtils.validateHeaderName('If-Unmodified-Since'); // true
headerUtils.validateHeaderName('X-Forwarded-Host'); // true
headerUtils.validateHeaderName('Front-End-[]'); // false

validateHeaderValue(headerValue)

  • headerValue - A non-empty string representing the header value which we want to validate.

The function returns false if the headerValue is invalid according to the standart and true otherwise.

var headerUtils = require('http-headers-validation');

headerUtils.validateHeaderValue('VQcFUFFRCBABUFhaAwQOVw=='); // true
headerUtils.validateHeaderValue('valueWithTabulation\t'); // true
headerUtils.validateHeaderValue('\n\b'); // false

validateHeader(headerName, headerValue)

  • headerName - A non-empty string representing the header name which we want to validate.
  • headerValue - A non-empty string representing the header value which we want to validate.

The function returns false if headerName or headerValue is invalid and true otherwise.

var headerUtils = require('http-headers-validation');

headerUtils.validateHeader('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=2000'); // true
headerUtils.validateHeader('Front-End-[]', 'backspace\bValue'); // false
