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

Description

A lightweight local HTTPS proxy library for Nest framework apps, supporting both Express and Fastify HTTP adapters, designed for use with self-signed SSL certificates.

⚠ Disclaimer

This library is intended only for use in local development, testing, and troubleshooting with self-signed SSL certificates. It is not recommended to use this in any production context or public-facing environment.

Always follow best practices when managing SSL certificates for any public-facing or production environment.

Self-signed SSL Certificates

See the following gist for info on creating self-signed SSL certificate PEM files using openssl:

Installation

$ npm i nest-local-https-proxy

Implementation

  1. Load your certificate and private key files into an HTTPS options (SecureContextOptions) object.

    const certPath = './cert.pem';
    const keyPath = './key.pem';
    let httpsOptions: SecureContextOptions;
    // Confirm local certificate files exist
    if (fs.existsSync(certPath) && fs.existsSync(keyPath)) {
      httpsOptions = {
        cert: fs.readFileSync(certPath),
        key: fs.readFileSync(keyPath),
      };
    } else {
      console.log('Failed to initalize HTTPS certificates for local SSL proxy');
    }
  2. Instatiate the LocalHttpsProxy class, providing your NestApplication instance, and the HTTPS options object.

    const httpsDevProxy = new LocalHttpsProxy(app, httpsOptions);
  3. (Optional) Provide callback functions to constructor or subscribe to events on LocalHttpsProxy instance.

    • Provide callback functions to constructor:

      const errorCallback = (error) => { console.error(`HTTPS proxy error occurred: ${error.message}`); };
      const listeningCallback = (httpsPort) => { console.log(`HTTPS listening on ${httpsPort}`); };
      const httpsDevProxy = new LocalHttpsProxy(app, httpsOptions, errorCallback, listeningCallback);
    • Subscribe to events:

      httpsDevProxy.on('listening', (httpsPort) => {
        console.log(`HTTPS listening on ${httpsPort}`);
      });
      httpsDevProxy.on('error', (error) => {
        console.error(`HTTPS proxy error occurred: ${error.message}`);
      });
  4. Start the proxy

    httpsDevProxy.start(port);

Test

# unit tests
$ npm run test

# test coverage
$ npm run test:cov
