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 🙏

NPM

npm version

A static Node.js file web server with options for proxing requests and delaying/mocking responses. Useful for web development.

What's new

  • v0.14.0 - webpack support!

Installation

$ npm install -g server-with-benefits

Then, to setup your server(s), edit _swbConfig.json that comes with the package and rename it to swbConfig.json.
You can place this file anywhere you like, but make sure you then start the server (see Usage) from the directory where it's placed.
Alternatively (and preferably), you can avoid this restriction by setting an environment variable named SWB_CONF_FILE with the file's full path as its value (e.g. SWB_CONF_FILE=C:\dev\swbConfig.json), or by passing the path as an only argument.

The configuration file should be of the following format:

{
	"servers": [
		{
			"port": 80, // the server listen port (default 80)
			"static": { // (OPTIONAL) the static resources that will be served.
				"srcDir": "enter/your/path/here", // path to your local server root source directory
				"paths": { // (OPTIONAL) define routes for specific paths, relative to the 'srcDir'
					"/": "/src", // i.e. http://<your_host_name>/ -> <srcDir>/src
					"/lib": "/lib" // i.e. http://<your_host_name>/lib -> <srcDir>/lib
				}
			},
			"webpack": {
				"confFile": "path/to/your/webpack.config.js"
			},
			"proxy": [ // (OPTIONAL) proxy servers for some path patterns
				{
					"target": { // can be an object with host and port, or a full url string e.g. "http://myproxy:80"
						"host": "hostname",
						"port": 80
					},
					"hostPattern": null, // (OPTIONAL) extract the last match from this regex executed on the url hostname, and replace the target host with it
					"pathPatterns": [] // e.g. ["^/api/"] or [{"^/api/": "/"}] (for path rewrite)
				}
			],
			"delay": { // (OPTIONAL) Adding delay to responses for some path patterns
				"pathPatterns": [], // e.g. ["^/api/"],
				"time": 2000 // the delay amount
			},
			"fixtures": [ // (OPTIONAL) Fixture definitions
				{
					"active": true, // On/Off switch for this fixture
					"request": {
						"methods": ["GET", "POST"],
						"pathPattern": "^/api/rest/foo",
						// (OPTIONAL) additional condition that checks that the provided object is a subset of
						// the request's payload. This check is relevant only for POST, PUT and OPTIONS methods
						"payload": {
							"name": "bar"
						}
					},
					"response": {
						"status": 200,
						"body": {
							"hello": "Nice Fixture"
						}
					}
				}
				// more fixtures...
			]
		}
		// more servers...
	]
}

Usage
