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 🙏

postrest

PostgreSQL Restful Client that can be used from io.js/nodejs or browsers.

usage

NOTE: This project is currently in a volatile state and will get fully documented once the postgreSQL REST service has been realased.

  var postrest = require('postrest');
  
  // Connect to database and perform some actions
  postrest.Connection('http://tester:[email protected]:8080/testdb')
    .then(listDatabases)
    .spread(selectLast)
    .then(showTables)
    .catch(onError);
    
    function listDatabases(db){
      return [db,db.database.list()];
    }
    
    function selectLast(db,res){
      console.log("status:", res.status);     // http status code
      console.log("headers: %j", res.headers);// server headers 
      console.log("count:", res.count);       // result count
      console.log("result: %j", res.result);  // result items (undefined if count == 0, array if count > 1)
      var database = res.result[res.count-1].database; // pick last result list item
      
      return db.useDatabase(database); // create and return new database session
    });
    
    function showTables(db){
      db.database.tables(function(res){
        console.log("tables: %j", res.result);
    
      });
      
      return db;
    }
    
    function onError(error){
      console.log("error:", error);
    }

Postrest returns bluebird promises, read more about the bluebird API here: https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/blob/master/API.md


var postrest = require('postrest');

// connect to database 'bookstore' using schema 'v1' and with credentials passed in separately
postrest.Connection('http://127.0.0.1:80/bookstore#v1',{username:'librarian', password:'monkey'}).then(bookstore);

raw sql query

function bookstore(db){
  db.sql('select row_to_json(t) from books as t')
    .then(function(res){
      console.log("books: %j",res.result);
    });
}

select shorthand using get method

  db.sql.get("books").then(function(res){
       console.log("books: %j", res.result);
    }).catch(error){
       console.log("error: %j", error);
       console.log(error);
    };

using postgresql json operators with limit option

db.sql.get("books/data->'author'->>'last_name'='Xavier'&-limit=1")
   .then(function(res) {
     // iterate over rows
     res.result.forEach(function(book,index){
        console.log("book %s: %j", index, book);
     });
    }, function(error){
      console.log("error", error);
    });
 

using the query builder (squel)

  db.sql.select().field('data').from('books').exec()
    .then(console.log);

Postrest uses the SQuel SQL builder, read more about that here: https://github.com/hiddentao/squel

REST adapter

This client uses a postgreSQL REST adapter which translates queries from http REST format to postgreSQL native protocol. The adapter is currently not open sourced (and may never be) but it is planned to be released as a restful database SaaS. Send an email to; contact at restfuldesign dot com, if you want to know more about that.
