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 🙏

Indian Pincode Database Build Status npm downloads npm downloads npm downloads

Database of Indian pin (postal) codes for node applications. More than 1,54,820 entries.


Automatically populate local mongodb

You can push all pincodes to mongodb database running on local instance

const indianPincodeDatabase = require('indian-pincode-database');
indianPincodeDatabase.pushToDatabase(databaseName, collectionName, callback); // all args are optional

WARNING : pushToDatabase first removes the collection (if exists) before populating the database.

Data model will look like below

{
	"_id"            : ObjectId("57cf31cdd18a0062f4cbd624"),
    "updatedAt"      : ISODate("2016-09-06T21:14:53.993Z"),
    "createdAt"      : ISODate("2016-09-06T21:14:53.993Z"),
    "officeName"     : "Dhannoor B.O",
    "pincode"        : 504304,
    "officeType"     : "B.O",
    "deliveryStatus" : "Delivery",
    "divisionName"   : "Adilabad",
    "regionName"     : "Hyderabad",
    "circleName"     : "Andhra Pradesh",
    "taluk"          : "Boath",
    "districtName"   : "Adilabad",
    "stateName"      : "ANDHRA PRADESH",
    "__v" : 0
}

Querying

Once you have the database, you can perform search the way you want using mongodb native module or mongojs. But if you wish to use mongoose, then you must need a schema which you can import like

const indianPincodeDatabase = require('indian-pincode-database');
var pincodeDocSchema = indianPincodeDatabase.pincodeDocSchema;
pincodeDocSchema.set('collection', 'my_pincodes_collection');

// create model to query
var myPincode = mongoose.model('myPincode', pincodeDocSchema);
myPincode.find({}, callback);

Do not populate pincodes database (using pushToDatabase method) in your api code unless needed. While population, this module creates new db connection using mongoose. This may lead to db connection collision. Better, you first populate the db by simple execution node populate.js and then create custom model as above.
