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 🙏

Basic Auth extension for vantage.js

Readme

vantage-auth-basic

Default authentication extension used by Vantage.js.

  • Prompts user for usernames and passwords as specified on the Vantage server.
  • Provides maximum retry option, and a retry timeout.
  • Can lock users out after X amount of retries, with an unlock timeout.

This extension is required by Vantage on installation, so does not require a separate installation.

Usage

Normally Vantage.js auth extensions are used as follows:

var basicAuth = require("vantage-auth-basic");
vantage.auth(basicAuth, options);

Because this extension is built into vantage's release, you can use the string "basic" instead:

npm install -g vantage
var users = [
	{ user: "admin", pass: "4k#842jx!%s" },
	{ user: "user", pass: "Unicorn11" }
];

var vantage = require("vantage")();

vantage.auth("basic", {
	"users": users,
  "retry": 3,
  "retryTime": 500,
  "deny": 1,
  "unlockTime": 3000
});

Options

options.users

Accepts an array of objects with a user and pass property.

 vantage.auth("basic", {
	users: [
	  { user: "admin", pass: "4k#842jx!%s" },
	  { user: "user", pass: "Unicorn11" }
  ]
});

The logged in user can then be accessed in a Vantage command:

vantage
  .command("whoami", "Outputs logged in user.")
  .action(function(args, cb){
  	console.log("You are " + this.user);
  	cb();
  });
options.retry

Specifies how many times one can enter the password wrong before being kicked out of the session.

vantage.auth("basic", { ... retry: 2 });
$ vantage 4000
user: user
pass: Unicorn12
Access denied
pass: Unicorn13
Access denied: too many login attempts.
$
$

Defaults to 3.

options.retryTime

Delay length in millis between login retries.

Defaults to 1000 millis.

options.deny

Number of kick-outs due to login failures permitted before the user is locked out for a given time.

Defaults to 3.

options.unlockTime

Timeout before user can attempt to login again after they have been locked out.

Defaults to 30000 millis.
