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

oauth-simple-signature-check

This package is a simple way to quickly test an OAuth 1.0a signature for validity. As it is intended to be extremely simple, there are no configuration options; however, you may use it as a base if you need different behavior. The algorithm for validating OAuth signatures was adapted from this site: http://lti.tools/oauth/

It was originally designed to simplify OAuth signature validation within the LTI (Learning Tools Interopability) spec, but it can be adapted to many other uses as well.

Assumptions

The package works out-of-the-box with Express.js.

The algorithm assumes you are using HMAC-SHA1 within the OAuth 1.0a spec. Again, you can fork this package and easily change this, if needed. It also assumes you are using UTF-8 for encoding (which you should be).

How to use

Call it in your express.js app, within a route. Here is an example:

const validateOAuthSignature = require("oauth-simple-signature-check");

app.post("/", function (req, res) => {
  const isOAuthSignatureValid = validateOAuthSignature(req, process.env.CONSUMER_SECRET); 

  if (isOAuthSignatureValid)
    res.json({ data: {str: "my secret string"} });
  else
    res.json({});
});
