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

IOTA Transaction Stream

A microservice that transmits new transactions from an IOTA node to any number of listeners, in real-time, through WebSockets.

This is a prerequisite for running Chatangle or Votangle.

Installation Instructions

Dependencies

You may need a C compiler installed on your system before you can install IOTA Transaction Stream. This is because the ZeroMQ dependency must compile during installation.

On CentOS:

sudo yum -y install gcc-c++ make

General Installation

For global installation:

npm install -g iota-transaction-stream

This will make IOTA Transaction Stream available as the command iota-transaction-stream.

Installation Errors

If you get errors during install about bad permissions, your npm was probably installed as the root user. It is recommended to install npm as non-root, like with nvm. A workaround is to install with the --unsafe-perm flag like so:

npm install -g --unsafe-perm iota-transaction-stream

Usage

You must have an IRI with config ZMQ_ENABLED = true. The ZMQ runs on port 5556 by default.

If globally installed, example:

iota-transaction-stream --iotaIP 123.45.67.890 --iotaZMQPort 5556 --webSocketServerPort 8008

If installed locally or running from an IDE:

npm run start -- --iotaIP 123.45.67.890 --iotaZMQPort 5556 webSocketServerPort 8008

Running in the background, example:

nohup iota-transaction-stream --iotaIP 123.45.67.890 --iotaZMQPort 5556 --webSocketServerPort 8008 >> output.log &

Then tail the logs with

tail -f output.log

Hooking Into The Stream

These lines of Javascript can be copy-pasted into the Chrome console after starting the server locally to test if the stream is working:

let ws = new WebSocket('ws://transactionStreamIP:8008')
ws.addEventListener('message', message => {console.log('message', message)})
ws.addEventListener('error', message => {console.error('error', message)})
ws.addEventListener('open', message => {console.log('open', message)})
