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

magicProxy

A proxy for front-end web development. It changes responses from remote websites.

Using this, you can forget about having your local HTTP server or using rsync/wget to sync your computer with the remote site, broken URLs and ajax APIs, cross-domain problems, and just access the website you are changing and activate the replace.js or fakeDir.js plugins.

You can also access websites only accessible to your computer (E.G. in your local server and/or with a hostname only you have in /etc/hosts) from the outside, by accessing through your proxy.

Installation

  1. Clone this repository

     git clone [email protected]:fabiosantoscode/magicProxy.git
  2. Npm install the dependencies

     npm install
      
  3. Run the proxy

     node index.js
  4. Access your system's network configuration, and set up your proxy to localhost, port 8080

Included plug-ins.

  • replace.js: Intercepts requests for key files and responds with local files instead.
  • fakeDir.js: Pretend a local folder is actually on the server.
  • markup.js: Uses cheerio for changing HTML markup. You can insert or remove chunks.
  • empty.js: Empty some HTTP responses. Useful for annoying tracking scripts.
  • log.js: Log HTTP verbs, status codes and URLS for every response.

Configuration instructions are written in the plugins' .js files.

Usage examples:

  • Work on the JS code of a remote website on its true environment without tripping on cross-domain policy
  • Change the living, working HTML on a remote website without worrying about using relative URLs
  • Stop scripts which jam your debugger from loading
  • Remove some elements from remote sites you are working on, such as video players, canvases, etc.

Roadmap:

  • A plug-in interface with a unified configuration system
  • HTTPS support, WS support
  • A simple command line interface (execute on a folder, looks for .magicproxyrc configuration files and load them)
  • Run as a web application for showing others your local work
  • Split plugins into several projects
  • Verbose mode, which shows what requests were changed, and by which plugin
  • Automatic rebuild plugin, which watches directory for changes and executes a script when necessary

Be happy!
