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

metadata-detector-streams

A tool to locate and strip metadata from files.

version

This package is currently capable of handling ID3 tags within MP3s and metadata of FLAC files as described in the official FLAC format specification. It can also parse Vorbis Comments within OGG Containers. In addition to that it can also parse MPEG-4 files which are nicely explained on the homepage of AtomicParsley.

Usage

This package is intended to be used with Node.js. Please take a look at metadata-detector if you look for a package that works in the browser.

metadata-detector-streams is available as a package on npm. You can use the following command to install it:

npm install metadata-detector-streams

The package exports two functions to create streams which eather locate or strip metadata from a readable stream.

createLocateStream()

createLocateStream() can be used to create a stream to locate metadata in another stream. It will emit tuples which consist of two values. These values are marking the start and end in bytes of any detected metadata.

import { createLocateStream } from 'metadata-detector-streams';

const locateStream = createLocateStream();

readable.pipe(locateStream);
// a stream of tuples

createStripStream()

createStripStream() can be used to create a stream which removes all detected metadata from a readable stream. It will emit only those bytes which are not detected as metadata.

import { createStripStream } from 'metadata-detector-streams';

const stripStream = createStripStream();

readable.pipe(stripStream);
// a stream of the same data but without metadata
