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

rws

A reconnecting WebSocket for node.js and the browser.

Features:

  • Automatically reconnect closed sockets.
  • Messages are queued while reconnecting, both server side as well as client side.
  • Client works both in the browser and in node.js.

rws builds upon the ws WebSocket library.

Install

npm install rws

Use

Server

var rws = require('rws');

var PORT = 3000;
var server = new rws.ReconnectingWebSocketServer({port: PORT}, function () {
  console.log('listening on port ' + PORT);
});

server.on('connection', function (conn) {
  conn.onmessage = function (event) {
    var data = event.data;
    console.log('message', data);
  };
});

setInterval(function () {
  for (var id in server.connections) {
    if (server.connections.hasOwnProperty(id)) {
      server.connections[id].send('Hello ' + id + ' ' + new Date().toISOString());
    }
  }
}, 5000);

Client

var ReconnectingWebSocket = require('rws').ReconnectingWebSocket;

var URL = 'ws://localhost:3000';
var conn = new ReconnectingWebSocket(URL, {
  id: 'client1' // optional id, used by the server to re-identify the client when reconnecting
});

conn.onmessage = function (event) {
  var data = event.data;
  console.log('message', data);
};

setInterval(function () {
  conn.send('Hello from ' + conn.id +  ' ' + new Date().toISOString());
}, 5000);

API

TODO: describe API

Build

To build the library for use in the browser:

npm run build

This basically bundles and minifies ReconnectingWebSocket using browserify. When browserifying, the library ws is excluded as this is not needed in the browser.
