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 🙏

Initializing object database server

Live demo of this service: https://jsonbackendserver.herokuapp.com/

const jsonbackend = require("jsonbackend");
jsonbackend.listen();  // This would run the endpoint on port 3000.
//or you can specify custom port i.e., `jsonbackend.listen(4000)` would have run the database endpoint @ 4000 port.

Usage of db's endpoint from frontend with axios

You can create a express server that can act as a reliable 'object database server'. So you might be wondering what could a 'object database server' which would behave in a manner that you can directly post the data to the endpoint or use a $partial property to send partial data to be updated in the existing data in the database. For e.g.,

1. Put data in database like -

let dataToPost = {
  cars: 200,
  bikes: 400,
  ships: {
    big: true,
    small: ['rem', 'bem', 'tem']
  }
}

let {data} = await axios.post("https://localhost:3000/foo", dataToPost)

would just save this object to file foo.json and you can see it directly in the mydbs directory.

1.1 After saving you can fetch the data with post request, e.g

let {data} = await axios.post("https://localhost:3000/foo")

2. Also, you can update a particular property in the json database via sending a post request like -

let dataToPost = {
  $partial: {
    ships: "Cool",
    kicks: 200
  }
}
let {data} = await axios.post("https://localhost:3000/foo", dataToPost)

would just alter the property of ships in the database(db.json), so our final database state would look like:

let dataToPost = {
  cars: 200,
  bikes: 400,
  ships: "Cool",
  kicks: 200
}
let {data} = await axios.post("https://localhost:3000/foo", dataToPost)
