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 🙏

Shared Access Signature Generator for Node.js

This package allows you to easily generate a Shared Access Signature for use in REST API calls to Microsoft Azure services. Currently the package generates signatures that are suitable for use with Azure Service Bus (includng Event Hubs).

Why?

If you are working with Azure you might be wondering why this package exists given that there are already some Node.js packages. My reasoning is that I was working with some smaller embedded platforms which didn't support some of the packages that Microsoft's own package relied on, so this way I can have tighter control of the dependencies and a very simple package.

Usage

Using the package is easy. Just download and install it via NPM.

npm install shared-access-signature

Once the package is downloaded and installed you can call it by requiring in the shared-access-signature package and calling the generateServiceBusSignature(url, sharedAccessKeyName, sharedAccessKey, expirty) method.

var sas = require('shared-access-signature');

var url = 'https://namespace.servicebus.windows.net/hubname/publishers/devicename/messages';
var sharedAccessKeyName = 'sample-key';
var sharedAccessKey = 'S4lxDeOkdGFgi7xbIVdBakWpxDaPitKsGFUPFxZKT14=';
var currentDate = new Date();
var expiry = currentDate.getTime() / 1000 + 3600; // We require expiry time in seconds since epoch.

var sas = require('shared-access-signature');
var signature = sas.generateServiceBusSignature(url, sharedAccessKeyName, sharedAccessKey, expiry);
console.log(signature);

The expiry parameter can also take a Date object which is helpful, I recommend checking out the awesome momentjs library to deal with dates and quickly generate Date objects projected into the future.

...
var moment = require('moment');
var expiry = moment().add(1, 'day').toDate();
var signature = sas.generateServiceBusSignature(url, sharedAccessKeyName, sharedAccessKey, expiry);
