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 🙏

JustCurl

WARNING: Make sure to sanitize any user input. Some precautions are already taken, but it's in no way perfect.

  JustCurl is a wrapper for the command line cURL interface using child_process. It provides simple interaction with the command line cURL interface.

It also allows for pure JS synchronous low-latency connections.


Examples:

//import
const  jc = require('justcurl');
//ES6: import { get, post, direct } from  '../index'

//GET requests
var get = jc.get('https://example.com', {'query': 'example'}, {'header': 'example'});

//POST requests
var post = jc.post('https://example.com', {'post':  'example'}, {'headers':  'example'});

//just throws it into "curl [curl options]"
var dir = jc.direct('[curl options]');

//Error handling
if (typeof get /*or post or dir*/ === 'object') {
    console.log("Oops! An error has occured.")
} else {
    console.log(get) //result
}

Notes:

  • You must have cURL installed on your device for this to function properly. Otherwise, there will be no command for it to call.
  • In regards to sanitized input, queries and post data are the most sanitized, as they run entirely through a parser. Headers attempt to backslash quotations, but it can still be circumvented. URLs are not sanitized.
  • Errors are always handled (unless there's a bug) so you should always check if the output is an Error object. All regular outputs are strings.
