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-params

Build Status NPM version

Rails-style implementation of strong parameters. It supports Express, Koa and also can be used as standalone. The middleware adds the parameters object to the Express request (or ctx.parameters for Koa context) which returns an object, built from query string, request body and route params data. The returned object has some useful methods allows for data requiring and filtering.

Notice

The implementation of strong parameters was previously forked from koa-strong-params but now has it's own implementation. Along with this change only, except and merge methods have been dropped from the API as they do not exist in Rails Strong Parameters API.

Installation

Install the npm package.

npm install strong-params --save

Attach the middleware.

Express
var express = require('express')
var params = require('strong-params')
app.use(params.expressMiddleware())
Koa
var koa = require('koa')
var params = require('strong-params')
var app = new koa()
app.use(params.koaMiddleware())

Usage

Get strong parameters

Express
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  var params = req.parameters
})
Koa
app.use(function (ctx, next) {
  var params = ctx.parameters
})
Standalone
var Parameters = require('strong-params').Parameters
var params = Parameters({
  id: '13',
  name: 'Bob',
  age: '13',
  hobbies: ['skydiving', 'football', 'photographing'],
  address: {
    country: 'US',
    street: '261 West'
  },
  contacts: [
    {
      type: 'e-mail',
      value: '[email protected]'
    }, {
      type: 'mobile',
      value: '+123987456'
    }
  ]
})

Methods

// All available params
params.all()
// -> { id: '13', name: 'Bob', age: '13', hobbies: ['skydiving', 'football', 'photographing'], address: { country: 'US', street: '261 West' }, contacts: [{ type: 'e-mail', value: '[email protected]' }, { type: 'mobile', value: '+123987456' }] }

// Only selected params
params.permit('name', 'age').value()
// -> { name: 'Bob', age: '13' }

params.permit('id', 'name', {hobbies: []}).value()
// -> { id: '13', name: 'Bob', hobbies: ['skydiving', 'football', 'photographing'] }

params.permit('id', 'name', {contacts: []}).value()
// -> { id: '13', name: 'Bob', contacts: [] }

params.permit('id', 'name', {contacts: ['type', 'value']}).value()
// -> { id: '13', name: 'Bob', contacts: [{ type: 'e-mail', value: '[email protected]' }, { type: 'mobile', value: '+123987456' }] }

// All params of a sub-object
params.require('address').all()
// -> { country: 'US', street: '261 West' }

// All params of a sub-object
params.require('contacts').permit('type', 'value').value()
// -> [{ type: 'e-mail', value: '[email protected]' }, { type: 'mobile', value: '+123987456' }]
