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 🙏

Build Status codecov npm

This module allows you to run PHP code in Node.js in various ways:

  • Run PHP scripts.
  • Run PHP scripts and pass them JSON data from Node.js.
  • Use PHP as a view engine (templating system) for Express framework applications.

To use this module, you must have PHP installed and in your PATH.

This module was built and is maintained by the Roosevelt web framework team, but it can be used independently of Roosevelt as well.

Run a PHP script in Node.js

const php = require('php')
const output = await php.run('some_php_script.php')

Run a PHP script in Node.js and pass it data

const php = require('php')
const output = await php.runWithData('some_php_script.php', { hello: 'world' })

Then, assuming your some_php_script.php file looks like this:

<p><?=$hello?></p>

The output will be:

<p>world</p>

Use with Express

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const php = require('php')

// setup PHP templating engine
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'templates'))
app.set('view engine', 'php') // set PHP as a view engine in your Express app
app.engine('php', php.__express)

// define a route
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.render('index.php', {
    hello: 'world'
  })
})

Then, assuming your templates/index.php looks like this:

<p><?=$hello?></p>

The output will be:

<p>world</p>

Configuration

As shown in the above examples, this module will register values from the data model you pass to the PHP script as global variables in your PHP script by default when you use PHP as an Express view engine or when you call runWithData. You can disable this behavior if desired in the following ways:

Disable registering globally:

const php = require('php')
php.disableRegisterGlobalModel()
// can be reenabled by calling php.enableRegisterGlobalModel()

Disable registering on a per render basis in Express:

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.render('index.php', {
    _REGISTER_GLOBAL_MODEL: false,
    hello: 'world'
  })
})

Disable registering on a per render basis in runWithData (though if you're doing this, you probably should just use php.run() instead, as that method was written to use simpler logic that doesn't support passing data to PHP):

const output = await php.runWithData('some_php_script.php', { 
  _REGISTER_GLOBAL_MODEL: false,
  hello: 'world'
})
