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

restify-batch-endpoint

dependencies npm version

Restify Batch Endpoint allows Restify users to group several requests into a single response. Currently the module supports only GET Requests against endpoints. The code as loosly based on "batch-endpoint" which handled the requests and responses in a different manner.

Installation

npm install restify-batch-endpoint
npm update

Configuration

To use the module you will want to configure a route on your API that handles a POST and routes the request to the restify-batch-endpoint.

Require the Plugin

var batchEndpoint = require('restify-batch-endpoint');

Configure the Endpoint

Where server is your restify instance.

batchEndpoint.configureEndPoint(server,{
        "maxRequests": 9
        }
    );

Configure the Route

server.post('/batch', batchEndpoint.batchProcess);

Using Your New Route

The module will make requests against the same IP and Port in which your Restify server has been created. To receive a a combined response make a POST to the route you configured above ( In this example above ht​ttp://server:port/batch ).

The format is as follows, where requests is list of end points where endpoint is the Restify route you wish to call, and reference is the associated object that will be returned in the response.

{
  "requests": [
    {
      "endpoint": "/user/1",
      "reference": "user"
    },
    {
      "endpoint": "/state/1",
      "reference": "state"
    }
  ]
}

An example response based on the above request may look something like

{
  "user": [
    {
      "UserID": 1,
      "UserLevel": 2,
      "Username": "jsmith"
    }
  ],
  "state": [
    {
      "StateName": "Florida",
      "StateID": 1
    }
  ],
  "requestsCount": 2,
  "requestsFailed": 0,
  "requestTimeMillis": 217
}

Error Handling

Where possible errors are passed back in the response using the Restiy Error objects, and example may look like.

{
  "user": {
    "jse_shortmsg": "",
    "jse_info": {},
    "message": "/users/1/prfile does not exist",
    "statusCode": 404,
    "body": {
      "code": "ResourceNotFound",
      "message": "/users/1/prfile does not exist"
    },
    "restCode": "ResourceNotFound",
    "name": "ResourceNotFoundError"
  },
  "state": [
    {
      "StateName": "Florida",
      "StateID": 1
    }
  ],
  "requestsCount": 2,
  "requestsFailed": 1,
  "requestTimeMillis": 217
}
