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 🙏

Simple JWS Session handler

Build Status Coverage Status

Generate token with HS256 (HMAC with SHA-256) symmetric algorithm
Store token in redis to double check if token is generated by our machine
Before you start to use this package you need to install Redis on your server or local machine

How to use:

npm install secure-jws-session --save

const Session = require('secure-jws-session')

const config = {
  secret: '@2e£$1#1&$23_-!', // secret key (String)
  serverHost: 'www.mdslab.org', // server hostname (String)
  time: 1 // Set time expiration in minutes (Int)
}

const auth = new Session(config)
Generate a new token passing the user ID and the user type
const token = await auth.createToken(1, 'user')
Store the new session token in redis

const session = {
  user: 1,
  token,
  exp: new Date().getTime() + 1,
  type: 'user'
}

await auth.insert(session)

const result = await auth.check(token)
Decode an existing token and check if is valid and generated by our machine:
const decoded = await auth.decodeToken(token)

Using the session handler as middleware in Koa

Attach the session handler over the Koa context

app.context.auth = auth

Create a Middleware

module.exports = function(){

  return async function(ctx, next){

    if(!ctx.request.body.token)
      return ctx.body = { isLogged : false, token: false , message: 'You must provide a token for this route' }

    let status = await ctx.auth.check(ctx.request.body.token)

    if(!status.isLogged)
      return ctx.body = { isLogged : false, token: false , message: 'You are not logged in please do the log-in again' }

    await next()
  }

}

Now you can use it in your route file

const router = require('koa-router')()
const body = require('koa-body')()
const auth = require('./authMiddleware')

router.post('/admin', body, auth(), yourProtectedFunction)
