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 🙏

Example Usage

// register all module
const natural = require("natural-utility");
natural.globalModule(
["express", "http", "path",  "bodyParser", "logger", "cookieParser"],
["express", "http", "path",  "body-parser", "morgan", "cookie-parser"]);

// init all module
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);

// init all route
const indexRoute = require("./routes/index.route");

// register all plugin middleware
natural.pluginMiddleware(app, [
bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }),
  bodyParser.json(),
  cookieParser(),
  logger("dev"),
  natural.flashExpress()
]);

// register template engine
app.set("views", path.join(__dirname, "/views"));
app.set("view engine", "ejs");

// register all route midlleware
natural.routeMiddleware(app, [indexRoute]);

// listening server
server.listen(3000, () => console.log("server is running"));

API Reference

naturalModule

  • globalModule ( inputs: [string...], modules: [string...] ) function method of naturalModule to register each given module without the need to rewrite require, then the module will be run as parallel, the module can also be accessed as a global in every file or route in many ways, which you haven't to re-register the same module as you want to use it, note: global module only supports writing format CommonJS as require.

    • Before - example usage not using natural-utility

      • // register all module
        const express = require("express");
        const app = express();
        const http = require("http");
        const server = http.createServer(app);
        
        // listening server
        server.listen(3000, () => console.log("server is running"));
    • After - example usage using natural-utility

      • // register all module
        const natural = require("natural-utility");
        natural.globalModule(["express", "http"], ["express", "http"]);
        
        // init all module
        const app = express();
        const server = http.createServer(app);
        
        // listening server
        server.listen(3000, () => console.log("server is running"));

naturalRoute

  • routeMiddleware ( app, routes: [string...] ) function method of naturalRoute to register each given route, then the route will be run as parallel, which it haven't to rewrite app.use middleware many of times to register every each route.

    • Before - example usage not using natural-utility

      • // register all module
        const express = require("express");
        const app = express();

Working With Framework

How To Test

natural-utility uses supertest to mock http requests, thus testing no longer relies on the http server.

  • $ npm install
    $ npm test
    $ npm run test
