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 🙏

machini is a utility to get hardware information about system devices.

  • Lightweight and Fast!
  • It doesn't use any additional modules - it utilizes pure NodeJS APIs.
  • You don't need system privileges to get the value.
  • Friendly to modern Node.js development and TypeScript.
  • Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Unix/Linux) support.

Installation

machini requires Node.js 18.x or higher, and the repository is serviced through NPM.

machini is ESM-only. You must use import instead of require to load the module. There are workarounds available for CommonJS, but we recommend using ESM based on recent JavaScript trends.

After configuring the node environment, you can simply run the following command.

# via npm
$ npm install machini

# via yarn
$ yarn add machini

# via pnpm
$ pnpm install machini

Using named import (Multiple utilities in a single require) - Recommend

import { machineId } from 'machini';

async function main() {
	console.log(await machineId());
}

Using whole class (multiple utilities simultaneously with one object)

import Machini from 'machini';

async function main() {
	console.log(await Machini.machineId());
}

Methods

machineId (Promise<string>)

Gets the unique UUID of the current device. Throws an error if the value is not retrieved. Returns a Promise object, so use await or .then() to wait for the operation to complete and get the correct value.

The UUID may change when the system is reinstalled or as the virtual machine's environment changes. On some systems, this value can also be modified by the system administrator (but this is rarely utilized as the system may become unstable after modification).

This method returns the same value for every user on the system.

console.log(await machineId()); // a642d9e1-6063-4da7-8ea8-2298f989d01d

sid (Promise<string>)

Gets the Secutify Identifier (SID) value for the current user on the device. Throws an error if the value is not obtained.

The SID value is only supported on Windows and macOS. Other OSes throw an error.

Also, the SID value used on macOS is a value created for the directory service. If you don't trust this value, use the machineId method instead.

This value can be changed by the user.

console.log(await sid()); // S-1-5-21-406418252-5582013529-1321253100-2001
