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

hyperdb-mesh

Automatically authorise HyperDB peers to create a mesh, this code was extracted from the fantasic Cabal cabal-core on Github.

HyperDB allows peers to be authorised to replicate and using discovery-channel, peers are automatically authorised to form the mesh network.

As such you need to keep your discovery channel secret or run this in a controlled environment. I am trying to figure out a way to provide some authorisation process to run in untrusted places but I need to think about that.

Install

npm install hyperdb-mesh

Usage

Peer A


var mesh = Mesh('./demo.db', null, { id: 'mesh1' })
var db   = mesh1.db

mesh.on('ready', function () {

  console.log('peer A key ', db.key)
  // bec87d64bfdc33b6b02779666e46a3f01f0aa07f721c2177a44d64c4a6b50afd

  db.put('/hello', 'world', function (e) {
    if (e) throw e
  })
})

Peer B

Peer B running in a different computer or folder.


var key = 'bec87d64bfdc33b6b02779666e46a3f01f0aa07f721c2177a44d64c4a6b50afd'

var mesh = Mesh('./demo.db', key, { id: 'mesh2' })
var db   = mesh1.db

mesh.on('ready', function () {
  console.log('peer A key ', db.key)
  db.get('/hello', function (e, d) {
    if (!e) console.log('winning ', d[0].value)
  })
})

hyperdb-mesh events & methods

ready event


mesh.on('ready', function () {
  console.log('underlying hyperDB is ready')
})

HyperDB

The underlying HyperDB instance is accessible from .db


console.log(mesh.db.key.toString('hex'))

Pass in HyperDB options like so:


var mesh = Mesh('./json_api.db', key, { id: 'api', options: { valueEncoding: 'json' } })

Todo

  • Run tests on travis
  • Test on Windows
  • More testing
  • Global password or extra auth strategies for peers
