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

replace-in-zipfile

Put a placeholder file into a zipfile and replace it later. Supports streaming!

You can use any filename for your placeholder file. The matching is performed using the filesize and the file's CRC32. (Yes, there's a chance of checksum collision here!)

A tool called make-magic is provided to create high entropy placeholder data.

Command line usage

# create a placeholder whith high entropy
make-magic 512 > data/magic
# and put it into a zipfile along with other files
echo "Stuff" > data/stuff
zip -r data data

# you can now replace the magic data with any other content
echo "HEY!" | replace-in-zipfile data.zip data/magic > unpack/new.zip

# Let's unpack the new zipfile to see if it worked!
cd unpack
unzip new.zip
cd data
cat magic # displays "Hey!"

Javascript usage

const fs = require('fs')
const concat = require('concat-stream')
const replaceFileInzip = require('../replace-file-in-zip')

if (process.argv.length<4) {
  console.error(`usage: ${process.argv[1]} <zip-file> <magic-file>`)
  console.error('(data read from stdin will replace magic file data in the zip-file)')
  process.exit(1)
}

const zipFileName = process.argv[2]
const magicFileName = process.argv[3]

const magicData = fs.readFileSync(magicFileName)

process.stdin.pipe(concat(function (newContent) {
  fs.createReadStream(zipFileName)
    .pipe( replaceFileInzip(magicData, newContent) )
    .pipe(process.stdout)
}))
