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

Squid SSR

License

Welcome to Squid SSR! This framework is heavily inspired by Next.js but designed to be less restricting with the backend.

In essence, Squid is just an Express middleware that takes care of the routing and parsing of dynamic routes. Every page will be compiled into an independent JavaScript bundle. Files that end with '.ts' instead of '.tsx' will be handled as API endpoints.

Features

  • Next.js-inspired routing system for handling multi-page applications.
  • Server-side rendering with Preact.
  • Easily extendable with Express middleware.

Getting Started

Installation

To initiliase a Squid project, you can use npm :

npm init squid-ssr

Usage

Like in Next.js, the routing of your page will reflect the structure of the pages directory. You can create dynamic paths by using curly braces:

// src/pages/@{user}.tsx

import { h, Fragment } from 'preact';
import {Request, Response} from 'express';

export function getServerSideProps(req:Request, _res:Response) {
  return {
    props: {
      //parameters from dynamic paths will be made available in the Request.params object
      name: req.params.user
    }
  };
}

type Props = {

} & ReturnType<typeof getServerSideProps>['props']

export default function App({name}:Props) {
  return <>
  <html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Home of {name}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <span>This is {name}'s page!</span>
  </body>
  </html>
  </>;
}

It works the same for API endpoints.

The entrypoint for a Squid application will always be under src/main.ts and might look like the following:

import express from 'express';
import squid from 'squid-ssr';
import cookieParser from 'cookie-parser'; //3rd party middleware for cookie parsing

const port = Number.parseInt(process.env.SQUID_PORT ?? '0') || 3000;
const app = express();

// http://expressjs.com/en/advanced/best-practice-security.html#at-a-minimum-disable-x-powered-by-header
app.disable('x-powered-by');

app.use(cookieParser());

app.use(squid());

app.get('*', (_req, res) => {
  res.status(404).send('Page not found');
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`✅ Express server listening on port ${port}`);
});
