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 🙏

OS-Proxy-Config Build Status Available on NPM

Part of HTTP Toolkit: powerful tools for building, testing & debugging HTTP(S)

Access the operating system proxy configuration from Node.js, for all platforms. Use it like so:

import { getSystemProxy } from 'os-proxy-config';

const proxy = await getSystemProxy();

The promise from getSystemProxy resolves to something like:

{
    "proxyUrl": "https://proxy-server:123/",
    "noProxy": ["localhost", "example.com"]
}

The proxyUrl is returned in a format suitable for use with proxy-agent: it might be an HTTP or HTTPS URL (for an HTTP proxy), a socks:// or socks5:// URL for SOCKS proxies, or a pac+http:// URL (or similar) with the address of a PAC file for PAC-configured proxies.

If there's no proxy configured, it will resolve to undefined instead. If something major goes wrong and the settings can't be detected, the promise will be rejected.

This works slightly differently on each platform:

  • On Windows it uses windows-system-proxy, which reads proxy configuration from the registry using registry-js.
  • On Mac it uses mac-system-proxy, which reads proxy configuration using the scutil command-line tool.
  • On Linux it parses the various *_PROXY environment variables.

If you only need one platform, it's probably better to just use one of these approaches directly - this package is designed for use in cross-platform tools.
