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

shell-access

shell-access is an npm library that provides server access through a web browser.

Installation

To install shell-access, use npm:

npm install shell-access

Prerequisites

  • Express server
  • http-proxy-middleware

Make sure to install http-proxy-middleware in your server: by using

npm install http-proxy-middleware

Usage

  1. Initialize the shell-access in your server code:
const initialization = require('shell-access');

// <!-- pass the passcode in function -->
initialization("passcode");
  1. Set up the proxy middleware in your Express server:
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

// Proxy for the shell-access service
app.use('/shell-access', createProxyMiddleware({
  target: 'http://localhost:8765',
  ws: true,
  changeOrigin: true,
}));

Usage

Here’s a basic example of how to integrate shell-access with an Express server:

const express = require('express');
const initialization = require('shell-access');
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

const app = express();

// Initialize shell-access
// <!-- pass the passcode in function -->
initialization("passcode");


// Set up proxy middleware
app.use('/shell-access', createProxyMiddleware({
  target: 'http://localhost:8765',
  ws: true,
  changeOrigin: true,
}));

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

now go to http://localhost:3000/shell-access to access your shell.

How It Works

  • The initialization() function sets up the necessary configuration for shell access.
  • The createProxyMiddleware function proxies requests from the client to the server, enabling real-time communication.
