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

Kappa

Build Status NPM version

Based on [npm-delegate] (https://npmjs.org/package/npm-delegate) by Jason Denizac [email protected], this module is a hapi plugin used to proxy npm to support private npm repos without replicating the entire public registry.

NOTE: The config.json described below is a Hapi Composer manifest that describes kappa as a plugin. See ./example/global/config.json or ./example/local/config.json for more information.

Quickstart

Global Installation
$ npm install -g kappa
$ kappa -c config.json
Local Installation

If you choose to install locally, running kappa is as easy as

$ npm init
$ npm install --save kappa

# add start script to package.json:
#    "scripts": {
#        "start": "kappa -c config.json",
#    }

$ npm start

You can then put those artifacts (config.json and package.json) under source control for simple deployments later:

$ git clone [email protected]:me/myregistry.git
$ cd myregistry
$ npm install
$ npm start

Options

kappa plugin currently supports the following parameters

  • vhost - the virtual host associated with the kappa server, e.g. 'npm.mydomain.com'
  • paths (optional) - any ordered array of npm repositories to use, e.g. Defaults to ['http://localhost:5984/registry/_design/app/_rewrite/', 'https://registry.npmjs.org/']
  • rewriteTarballs (optional) - When true rewrites the tarball URL in packages to download each resource via kappa. When false, tarball URLs are left untouched, allowing the client to download package tarballs directly from the registry that fulfilled the package request. Defaults to true.

For read operations (GET, HEAD, etc) the proxy will first attempt to fetch the module from the first registry. If the requested module is not found it continues to the next registry, and so on.

For write operations the proxy will only attempt to write to the FIRST registry. All auth occurs with the first registry as well.
