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 🙏

meta-data-fetcher

What is it for?

The meta-data-fetcher is a Node.js library designed to retrieve metadata from any website. This metadata includes information such as the title, description, and images associated with the URL provided.

Installation

To install the meta-data-fetcher library, use npm:

npm install --save meta-data-fetcher

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the metaDataFetcher function:

const { metaDataFetcher } = require('meta-data-fetcher');

const getData = async () => {
    try {
        // Provide the URL of the website to fetch metadata from
        const url = 'https://example.com';
        const result = await metaDataFetcher(url); 

        console.log(result);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching metadata:', error.message);
    }
}

getData();

Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL from which you want to extract metadata.

The metaDataFetcher function returns a promise that resolves with an object containing the metadata information extracted from the provided URL. The object includes properties such as url, title, description, and image.

Result Example:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "description": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.",
  "image": "https://www.example.com/example.png"
}

The provided example demonstrates how to fetch metadata from a website using the meta-data-fetcher library and log the result to the console. Adjust the example and description as needed for your specific use case.
