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

local-redirector

NPM Version

local-redirector is a Node.js package that provides a simple command-line interface (CLI) to run a local HTTP proxy server. This tool streamlines development and testing workflows by allowing you to redirect local URLs to different target URLs.

Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install -g local-redirector

Usage

To start the local proxy server, run:

local-redirector --target [TARGET_URL] --port [PORT_NUMBER]

Replace [TARGET_URL]: The URL you want to redirect requests to. [PORT_NUMBER]: The desired port number for the proxy server (defaults to 8888 if not specified).

Example:

local-redirector --target https://your-custom-api.com --port 3000

This command creates a local proxy server on port 3000 that redirects requests to your custom API endpoint https://your-custom-api.com. You can then access this API locally at http://{your_local_ip}:3000 from any device connected to your network.

Use Cases

  • Development: Test with different backend services locally.
  • Testing: Simulate various environments.
  • Debugging: Switch between target URLs easily.
