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

Node Dropbox

A simple node.js API client for the Dropbox API.

Installation

npm install node-dropbox --save

Usage:

Before starting anything you need to go create your app over at: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps then go ahead and grab your Key and Secret.

Authentication

Just use the Authenticate method to generate a url for your user to go to. This will be redirected back to another page.

var node_dropbox = require('node-dropbox');
node_dropbox.Authenticate('key', 'secret', 'redirect_url', function(err, url){
	// redirect user to the url.
	// looks like this: "https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<key_here>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=<redirect_url_here>"
});

On the page where you redirected to, you will need to use the AccessToken method to get the users access token for api use. The redirect_url this time is only for validation, it will not need to redirect again.

node_dropbox.AccessToken('key', 'secret', 'access_code', 'redirect_url', function(err, body) {
	access_token = body.access_token;
});

Make API Calls

When you have the access token in hand, all you need to do is make api calls. That's all it takes to get started with this client.

api = node_dropbox.api(access_token);
api.account(function(err, res, body) {
	console.log(body);
});

The above output will be something like:

{
"referral_link": "https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/r1a2n3d4m5s6t7",
"display_name": "John P. User",
"uid": 12345678,
"team": {
    "name": "Acme Inc."
},
"country": "US",
"quota_info": {
    "shared": 253738410565,
    "quota": 107374182400000,
    "normal": 680031877871
}
}

Available API Calls:

api.account(callback); // Fetches the account information.
api.createDir(path, callback); // Creates a directory.
api.removeDir(path, callback); // Deletes a directory.
api.createFile(path, contents, callback); // Creates a new file.
api.removeFile(path, callback) // Deletes a file.
api.moveSomething(from_path, to_path, callback); // Moves/renames a file.
api.getMetadata(path, callback) // Retrieves file and folder metadata. Can be used to list a folder's content.
api.getFile(path, callback) // Downloads a file.
api.getDelta(cursor, path, callback) // Gets changes to files and folders in a user's Dropbox.

// Each callback will return the error message, response, and body(json data).
api.account(function(error, response, body){
	console.log(body.display_name);
});

Planned Features:

I plan on implementing the Dropbox Core API features(https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs) and revamping the code a little bit to make it integrate with express easily or possibly just make it more friendly to use. Right now, it's not the best, but it works.
