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

tweet-stream

Create a readable object stream of tweets from the Twitter REST API via twit.

Installation

$ npm install tweet-stream

Overview

The point of this module is to provide a readable Stream instance that spits out tweet objects directly from the REST API, that traverses the entire result via paging with the max_id parameter.

This can be used to backfill tweets for a specific user or search term.

Note that this will make requests as fast as possible, so watch out for rate limiting.

Usage

import Twit from 'twit';
import TweetStream from 'tweet-stream';
import through from 'through';

// Create an API instance with Twit
var twit = new Twit({
  consumer_key        : '...',
  consumer_secret     : '...',
  access_token        : '...',
  access_token_secret : '...'
});

// Create the object stream of all tweets for this response
var stream = new TweetStream(twit, 'statuses/user_timeline', {
  screen_name: 'bvalosek',
  include_rts: false,
  exclude_replies: true
});

// Dump to console
stream.pipe(through(data => console.log(data)));

In ES5-only Environments

If not using in an environment that supports ES6+, an ES5 build is available:

var TweetStream = require('tweet-stream/es5');
...

Testing

Maybe someday.
