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

Cordova Local WebServer

This Apache Cordova plugin will install a local web server in your iOS app, and will serve the contents of your www directory, looking for an index page of index.html.

After the plugin is installed, it changes the config.xml in your project root by modifying this tag to:

    <content src="http://localhost:0" />

For the local web server to start, the url must be http://localhost, and you can set the port to whatever you want in the url, the local web server will use this as the port automatically. If you set the port to "0", it will select a randomized and free port.

Check your console log for errors in configuration.

localStorage, IndexedDB persistence

If you plan on using HTML5 localStorage and/or IndexedDB, you must choose a fixed port in the content tag specified above. This is because of the HTML5 Origin policy (scheme, domain and port must be the same).

In the config.xml in your project root, change the '0' port to a number between 1 and 49152 (avoiding the ephemeral port range of 49152 to 65535 on iOS). For example:

    <content src="http://localhost:49000" />

This port number must be consistent across all app launches for saved data to be accessed.

Security Caveats

In order to limit access to your app, requests are restricted to localhost and are protected with an auth token.
This should effectively restrict access to the server to your app.

This plugin is only compatible with the 3.7.0 release of cordova-ios, or greater.
