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 🙏

Mr. NodeBot

An IronY / FSociety Production

Build Status Dependencies devDependencies Status Known Vulnerabilities

Snyk Intergration

Since this is an IRC bot, and one cannot predict the type of character the bot may encounter in the wild, this project makes use of the Snyk vulnerabilitie patching system. You should regularly check the snyk patching system by running npm run snyk-protect.

Special Considerations

The bot currently depends on NickServ services supporting the ACC command for certain command authentication types. Networks confirmed to work include

  • freenode
  • DALnet

Dependencies

  • A Database engine, either MySql, MariaDB, Postgres, Sqlite3
  • libicu (character encoding detection) More Instructions
    • Debian (Ubuntu) apt-get install libicu-dev
    • Gentoo emerge icu
    • Fedora/CentOS yum install libicu-devel
    • macOS
      • Homebrew brew install icu4c; brew link icu4c --force
      • MacPorts port install icu +devel

Install Steps

  • Install Node Modules npm install
  • Create a configuration file from a template cp config.sample.js config.js
  • Edit the configuration file
  • Configure a database
    • By default, the bot will use SQLite 3, npm install sqlite3
    • If using MySQL, npm install mysql2 (Knex supports both the node-mysql and node-mysql2 flavours, with the second being faster and more secure)
      • Create a Schema and be sure to give it a utf8mb4_unicode_ci character set (CREATE DATABASE db_name CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci)
      • Modify the config.js accordingly
      • Once properly configured and run for the first time, the Bot will provision the database schema using migrations
  • Start the bot node index.js [--config config.js-path] or npm start

Keep the Bot Running

Included in the root directory is a sample systemd script (misc/mrnodebot.service), you can do it this way or use forever or any other node task runner. If you want to be able to use commands like update, restart, and halt while having the Bot come back it is important you take this into consideration.

Features

  • Logging / Analytics
  • SED Corrections
  • URL Announce
  • Popularity (upvote/downvote) system
  • Mention system
  • A Seen/Last-seen command to track usage
  • API Endpoints connected to Analytics
  • Express/Pug Web Front end
  • SocketIO connected to Express to deliver real time notifictions and bi-directional communication with the client

Debugging

You will find various debugging flags inside the config file. These will granually conroll file based debugging options. This framework does take advantage of SocketIO and express, which both utilize the Debug module. If you would like to see very intricate debugging for both express and socketIO, start the bot with the following command DEBUG=* node index.js.

Unit Testing

Unit testing is being introduced and has a long way to go to catch up. To run available tests npm test

Documentation

I am currently in the processes of providing jsdoc style docblocks for documentation generation. You can generate the documentation by running npm run generate-docs

Technologies

API Keys

  • Google API Key - For most features a Google API key with Shortener service, SafeSearch service, and YouTube search service enabled is required, however, if one is not provided, the bot will try to gracefully fall back onto is.gd
  • Imgur API Key - A Imgur API key is required to extract meta data on Imgur links in the URL announcer
  • Twitter API Key A Twitter API key is required to be able to send tweets, subscribe to tweets, or have a tweet sent out during the announce process
  • Bitly API Key A Bitly API key assists the amount of url shortners you have available to you
  • OMDB API Key Used in the imdb command and in the link matcher to pull info for imdb links

URL Shortner service

The Url shortner service, found in scripts/libs/_getShortService will provide a url shortner based on your API key availability. const shortService = require('../lib/_getShortService')(DOMAIN?)

  • DOMAIN is optional, but usefull for things like avoiding googles blocking of certain domains.
  • If a google api key is provided, the Google API will be used to shorten
  • After Google, if a Bitly API key is provided, Bitly will be used to shorten
  • If neither API key is available, isGd will be used to shorten (no key required, but certain pitfalls attached)

Command Access Levels

  • owner - The Command can only be run by the bot owner (hard coded username/host combo in config.js)
  • admin - The Command can be run by the owner or anyone in the admin list
  • identified - The Command can be run by anyone using a nick identified with services
  • guest - The Command can be run by anyone
  • channelOp - The Command can be run by the owner, or anyone with ops in the channel it is being originated from
  • channelOpIdentified - the Command can be run by the owner, the admins, or anyone with ops in the channel who are also identified
  • channelVoice - the Command can be run by the owner, the the ops, and the voices in the channel it is originated from
  • channelVoiceIdentified - the Command can be run by identified voices, ops in the channel originated from, or owner and admins

Magic Functions

If a script exports the following functions, they will be run at the respective run level

  • onLoad Runs on initial load, and reload
  • unUnload Runs during reload prior to the destruction of the require / loadedScripts cache

Knex Migrations

This project is powered by knexjs and takes advantage of its migration system. In order to use migrations npm install -g knex and use the knex command, e.g. knex migrate:make add_users_table . More instructions can be found here. The bot will check for and install new migrations on startup.
