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 🙏

JavaScript Style Guide

Setup

$ npm install restify-cors-middleware2 --save

Usage

const corsMiddleware = require('restify-cors-middleware2')

const cors = corsMiddleware({
  preflightMaxAge: 5, //Optional
  origins: ['http://api.myapp.com', 'http://web.myapp.com'],
  allowHeaders: ['API-Token'],
  exposeHeaders: ['API-Token-Expiry']
})

server.pre(cors.preflight)
server.use(cors.actual)

Allowed origins

You can specify the full list of domains and subdomains allowed in your application, using strings or regular expressions.

origins: [
  'http://myapp.com',
  'http://*.myapp.com',
  /^https?:\/\/myapp.com(:[\d]+)?$/
]

For added security, this middleware sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin to the origin that matched, not the configured wildcard. This means callers won't know about other domains that are supported.

Setting origins: ['*'] is also valid, although it comes with obvious security implications. Note that it will still return a customised response (matching Origin), so any caching layer (reverse proxy or CDN) will grow in size accordingly.

By default, credentials are not allowed for the * origin. This can be overridden with the allowCredentialsAllOrigins option.

Troubleshooting

As per the spec, requests without an Origin will not receive any CORS headers. Requests with a matching Origin will receive the appropriate response headers. Always be careful that any reverse proxies (e.g. Varnish) vary their cache depending on the origin, so you don't serve CORS headers to the wrong request.

Compliance to the spec

See unit tests for examples of preflight and actual requests.

TypeScript declaration file support

A basic declaration file has been added (thanks to Dane Horak), but we don't use TypeScript locally, so we have not validated it. Let us know if there is more that can be added.
