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

query-data build status

Parse and serialize JSON data in a query parameter

Example

serialize and parse

const assert = require('assert')
const { serialize, parse } = require('query-data')

const query = serialize({ blam: 'pow' })
assert.equal(query, 'eyJibGFtIjoicG93In0=')

const data = parse(query)
assert.deepEqual(data, { blam: 'pow' })

Parse from a req object

const http = require('http')
const request = require('request')
const queryData = require('query-data')

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  const data = queryData(req)
  res.end(JSON.stringify(data))
}).listen(1515)

const query = queryData.serialize({ blam: 'pow' })

request('http://localhost:1515?data=' + query, (err, res, body) => {
  console.log(body, query)
  server.close()
})

Usage

This module will parse and serialize between an object and a base64 encoded JSON string. { blam: 'pow' } becomes 'eyJibGFtIjoicG93In0=' and vice versa.

queryData(req, param='data')

The main export returns an object parsed from the request's querystring. param can be used to specify which parameter to parse. The value for this parameter should be a URI encoded, base64 encoding of a JSON string. Yeah, thats a mouthful.

queryData.serialize(obj)

Returns a base64 encoded JSON string of the provided object

queryData.parse(str)

Returns an object parsed from a base64 encoded JSON string
