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 🙏

How

First, npm install -g ineedatestcert then:

Note: The examples below use inatc as the command name, but you can also fully spell it out, if you wish (ie: ineedatestcert)

$ inatc
Options:
  -h, --help      Show help                                            [boolean]
  -o, --out       specify a file to output to                    [default: null]
  -b              specify key size                               [default: 2048]
  -c, --name      specify common name     [default: "<uuid>.ineedatestcert.com"]
  -p, --password  password to use for pkcs                         [default: ""]
  -t, --type      type of output - pem or pkcs                 [default: "pkcs"]
  -u, --org       organization to use                     [default: "Test Cert"]
  -a, --ca        specify file to output ca bundle to            [default: null]
  --alt           specify alternative dns names                  [default: null]
  --na            not after date                            [default: <now>+1yr]

Why?

Generating certificates in different formats on different oses is hard. At the very least you need to remember a bunch of openssl flags and have openssl installed everywhere. This is easier, pure js, and works everywhere.

API

You can use ineedatestcert as a module, too. Just npm install ineedatestcert then:

var TestCert = require('ineedatestcert');
var myCert = new TestCert({
        type: "pkcs",
        password: "",
        name: "<uuid>.innedatestcert.com",
        org: "Test Cert",
        b: 2048
    }).crunch(function (err, self) {
        //assert.equal(err, null);
        //assert.equal(self, myCert);
        var raw = myCert.getRaw();
        var publicRaw = myCert.getRawPublicOnly();
        var base64 = myCert.getBase64();
    });

Constructor

Note: The constructor is lightweight - the certificate creation calculations occur in crunch()

exposed by require('ineedatestcert') - used to create test cert instances.

Crunch

Note: crunch optionally takes a callback that gets passed any error instance, and the instance of the test cert. It is called once all the calculations complete (and the cert is therefore made). If it isn't passed, a promise is returned.

member function - used to actually do the maths to create the test cert data.

GetRaw

Note: When called with a pem cert, this is a string. When called with pkcs this is a string of binary data. When writing pkcs to disk you should specify encoding: "binary"

member function - returns the raw data of the test cert.

GetRawPublicOnly

Note: This is a pem style string.

member function - returns the raw data of the public bits of the test cert.

GetBase64

member function - returns a base64 encoded representation of GetRaw()
