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

Test SMTP Server

Test SMTP Server is a lightweight wrapper for smtp-server. It is primarily intended for development and testing. The test code can start the server, run email tests and then validate the email contents. It can replace the use of external fake SMTP services which may have availablility issues.

All received emails are stored in an array in the order received. The emails may be viewed as raw data or a parsed object that is easily examined.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Tested on Node v18 with npm v9.

Installation

npm install test-smtp-server --save-dev

Usage

See test code for an example.

import { testSmtpServer } from "test-smtp-server";

(async (): Promise<void> => {
  const smtpserver = new testSmtpServer();
  await smtpserver.startServer();   // start listening

  // send some emails capturing ids ..
  messageId.push( await sendMail(email, smtpOptions));

  // get emails in sent order
  const mails = smtpserver.getEmails();

  // validate/dump emails

  if (mails.length) {
    let entry = 0;
    for (const mail of mails) {
      console.log(`Checking mail entry <${entry}>`);
      console.log(mail.envelope);
      const parsed = await mail.getParsed();
      if (parsed.messageId !== messageId[entry]) {
        throw new Error(`Messageids do not match for email ${
          entry} <${parsed.messageId}> <${messageId[entry]}>`);
      }

      console.log(parsed);
      entry++;
    }
  } else {
    throw new Error("No emails captured when expected");
  }

  await smtpserver.stopServer();    // terminate server

Security

The server is started as secure but that may not be possible in the testing environment. If the server does not have a valid certificate, the connection will fail from the client side. Some clients (e.g. nodemailer/SMTP-Transport options) allow connections to non-secure servers. Node allows connections through an environment variable that turns off certificate authorization checking. See node_tls_reject_unauthorizedvalue for more information. This may be insecure if other ports are used.
