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 🙏

Usage:

var connect = require('connect');
var url = require('url');
var proxy = require('proxy-middleware');

var app = connect();
app.use('/api', proxy(url.parse('https://example.com/endpoint')));
// now requests to '/api/x/y/z' are proxied to 'https://example.com/endpoint/x/y/z'

//same as example above but also uses a short hand string only parameter
app.use('/api-string-only', proxy('https://example.com/endpoint'));

Documentation:

proxyMiddleware(options)

options allows any options that are permitted on the http or https request options.

Other options:

  • route: you can pass the route for connect middleware within the options, as well.
  • via: by default no via header is added. If you pass true for this option the local hostname will be used for the via header. You can also pass a string for this option in which case that will be used for the via header.
  • cookieRewrite: this option can be used to support cookies via the proxy by rewriting the cookie domain to that of the proxy server. By default cookie domains are not rewritten. The cookieRewrite option works as the via option - if you pass true the local hostname will be used, and if you pass a string that will be used as the rewritten cookie domain.
  • preserveHost: When enabled, this option will pass the Host: line from the incoming request to the proxied host. Default: false.

Usage with route:

var proxyOptions = url.parse('https://example.com/endpoint');
proxyOptions.route = '/api';

var middleWares = [proxy(proxyOptions) /*, ...*/];

// Grunt connect uses this method
connect(middleWares);
