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 🙏

mock-aws-sinon

A quick and simple library that lets you use Sinon stubs with aws-sdk.

Why is this needed?

aws-sdk creates services in a weird way, so it isn't possible to do, say:

sinon.stub(AWS.S3.prototype, "getObject").returns({
   an: "object"
})

Because AWS.S3.prototype doesn't actually have a function called getObject. It is possible to just stub an instance of new AWS.S3, but chances are you instantiating that in your non-test code, and don't want to structure it weirdly just so that you can run tests properly.

How do I use it?

First, install it:

npm install mock-aws-sinon

Then, rather than call sinon.stub, you can call this module as a function, which will return a stub. Like so:

var mockAWSSinon = require('mock-aws-sinon');

mockAWSSinon('S3','getObject').returns({
    an: 'object'
});

new AWS.S3().getObject({Bucket: 'test'}, function(err, response) {
    assert.equal(response.an, 'object') // true
})

If you wish to use the sinon verification helpers, you can get run the function again to retrieve the same stub. So instead of doing:

AWS.S3.prototype.getObject.calledOnce()

you write:

mockAWSSinon('S3','getObject').calledOnce()

How does it actually work?

It stubs out AWS.Request.send, which is available. That stub then returns a mock AWS.Response object with the return value you have provided. This idea was copied from fakeaws, which works great except that I couldn't find a way to call verification methods on stubbed code, which this allows you to do.

Does it work?

I think so? It's a very quick project I'm using in literally two or three tests, so I wouldn't say it is thoroughly tested. If you try it and run into problems let me know.
