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

strong-license

Simple license generator/validator using JWT with the pre-defined claim names (fields) and validation semantics.

  • product - a string identifying the product the license applies to
  • features - an array of strings identifying features of the product
  • activationDate - a Date indicating when the license period starts
  • expirationDate - a Date indicating when the license period ends
  • email - a string identifing who the license is for (primarily used for logging and identification for support purposes)

Both the product and features fields support * as a wildcard to indicate that all products or features are covered by the license. When the product field is a wildcard, any product check matches but it does not imply that all features are covered. When the features list contains a wildcard as one of its entries, any feature check matches.

Usage

The strong-license module defines the License class, which can be used for generating, parsing, and validating a license key.

Generating a License Key

var License = require('strong-license').License;
var details = {
  email: '[email protected]',
  product: 'enterprise-node',
  features: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'],
  activationDate: new Date(),
  expirationDate: new Date(Date.now() + 1000*60*60*24*365),
};
var lic = new License(details, 'super secret key!');

process.env.LICENSE_KEY = lic.key;

It is also possible to generate a null license, which does not cover any products or features and is perpetually expired. It does, however, cover the null query scenario.

var License = require('strong-license').License;
var nullLicense = new License();

nullLicense.covers(); // => true! Can't do anything, but can do nothing!

Parsing/Validating a License Key

If a license coverage query omits a field, that field is considered a match.

var License = require('strong-license').License;
var now = new Date();
var yesterday = new Date(Date.now() - 1000*60*60*24);
var lic = new License(process.env.LICENSE_KEY, 'super secret key!');

lic.covers('enterprise-node', 'foo', now); // => true
lic.covers('myProduct', 'featurex', now); // => false

If a parameter is omitted, is considered a match.

lic.covers('enterprise-node', 'bar', null); // => true
lic.covers('enterprise-node', null, now); // => true
lic.cocers(null, 'baz', yesterday); // => false
lic.covers(); // => true! any license covers "nothing"
