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-xmlhttprequest

A spec-compliant version of XMLHttpRequest that works in NodeJS.

Install

npm i --save node-xmlhttprequest

Quick Start

import { XMLHttpRequest } from 'node-xmlhttprequest'

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open('GET', 'https://example.com')

xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
	if (xhr.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
		const html = xhr.responseText
		const statusCode = xhr.status
		const statusText = xhr.statusText
	}
}

xhr.send()

Synchronous XHR Calls

Synchronous XHR requests work too, without writing files as other packages do. Note that it does use worker threads.

Warning This option is only left in for compatibility reasons. It is not recommended for any reason as it will block the thread.

import { XMLHttpRequest } from 'node-xmlhttprequest'

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open('GET', 'https://example.com', false) // <-- note the false parameter
xhr.send()

assert(xhr.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE)
const html = xhr.responseText
// ...

Relative URLs

Note A relative URL is a URL that only contains a path.

Relative URLs do not behave the same as the browser. You must use undici to set a relative url, otherwise an error will be thrown.

import { XMLHttpRequest } from 'node-xmlhttprequest'
import { setGlobalOrigin } from 'undici'

setGlobalOrigin('https://example.com')

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open('GET', '/api/ping')

xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
	if (xhr.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
		xhr.responseURL // https://example.com/api/ping
	}
}

xhr.send()
