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

udx-native

udx is reliable, multiplexed, and congestion-controlled streams over udp.

npm i udx-native

It's a transport protocol, made only for peer-to-peer networking.

No handshakes. No encryption. No features. This is good for P2P.
Just fast streams and messages that are composable into powerful things.

Usage

const UDX = require('udx-native')

const u = new UDX()
const a = u.createSocket()
const b = u.createSocket()

b.on('message', function (message) {
  console.log('received', message.toString())
  a.close()
  b.close()
})

b.bind(0)
a.send(Buffer.from('hello'), b.address().port)
const UDX = require('udx-native')

const u = new UDX()

const socket1 = u.createSocket()
const socket2 = u.createSocket()

socket1.bind()
socket2.bind()

const stream1 = u.createStream(1)
const stream2 = u.createStream(2)

stream1.connect(socket1, stream2.id, socket2.address().port, '127.0.0.1')
stream2.connect(socket2, stream1.id, socket1.address().port, '127.0.0.1')

stream1.write(Buffer.from('hello'))
stream1.end()

stream2.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log(data)
})

stream2.on('end', function () {
  stream2.end()
})

stream1.on('close', function () {
  console.log('stream1 closed')
  socket1.close()
})

stream2.on('close', function () {
  console.log('stream2 closed')
  socket2.close()
})

API

const udx = new UDX()

Creates a new UDX instance.

const bool = UDX.isIPv4(host)

Returns true if host is an IPv4 address.

const bool = UDX.isIPv6(host)

Returns true if host is an IPv6 address.

const family = UDX.isIP(host)

Returns the address family (4 or 6). Returns 0 if invalid.

Sockets

const socket = udx.createSocket([options])

Creates a new socket instance.

Available options:

{
  ipv6Only: false
}

socket.udx

It's the UDX instance from where the socket was created.

socket.streams

It's a Set that tracks active streams (connected to the socket but not closed).

socket.userData

Optional custom userData. Default is null.

socket.bound

Indicates if it's bound to any port. It will be true after a successful bind().

socket.closing

It will be true after close() is called.

socket.idle

Indicates that the socket doesn't have any connected stream.

socket.busy

Indicates that the socket have at least one connected stream.

socket.address()

Returns an object like { host, family, port }. Only available after bind().

socket.bind([port], [host])

The default port is 0.
If no host specified: it binds to IPv6 ::. If fails then IPv4 0.0.0.0.

await socket.close()

It unbinds the socket so it stops listening for messages.

socket.setTTL(ttl)

Sets the amount of times that a packet is allowed to be forwarded through each router or gateway before being discarded.

socket.getRecvBufferSize()

socket.setRecvBufferSize()

socket.getSendBufferSize()

socket.setSendBufferSize()

await socket.send(buffer, port, [host], [ttl])

Sends a message to port and host destination. Default host is 127.0.0.1.

socket.trySend(buffer, port, [host], [ttl])

Same behaviour as send() but no promise.

socket.on('message', (msg, from) => {})

msg is a buffer that containts the message.
from is an object like { host, family, port }.

socket.on('close', onclose)

Emitted if the socket was ever bound and it got closed.

socket.on('idle', onidle)

Emitted if the socket becomes idle (no active streams).

socket.on('busy', onbusy)

Emitted if the socket becomes busy (at least one active stream).

socket.on('listening', onlistening)

Emitted after a succesfull bind() call.

Streams

const stream = udx.createStream(id, [options])

Creates a new stream instance that is a Duplex stream.

Available options:

{
  firewall: (socket, port, host) => true,
  framed: false,
  seq: 0
}

stream.udx

It's the UDX instance from where the stream was created.

stream.socket

Refers to the socket that is connected to. Setted when you connect() the stream.

stream.id

Custom stream id.

stream.remoteId

Remote stream id. Setted when you connect() the stream.

stream.remoteId

Remote stream id. Setted when you connect() the stream.

stream.remoteHost

Remote host. Setted when you connect() the stream.

stream.remoteFamily

Remote family (4 or 6). Setted when you connect() the stream.

stream.remotePort

Remote port. Setted when you connect() the stream.

stream.userData

Optional custom userData. Default is null.

stream.connected

Indicates if the stream is connected to a socket. It becomes false if the stream is closed.

stream.mtu

stream.rtt

stream.cwnd

stream.inflight

stream.localHost

Indicates the connected socket host address. By default null if not connected.

stream.localFamily

Indicates the connected socket family address (4 o 6). By default 0 if not connected.

stream.localPort

Indicates the connected socket port. By default 0 if not connected.

stream.setInteractive(bool)

stream.connect(socket, remoteId, port, [host], [options])

Connects the stream using a socket to a: remote stream id, and remote socket port/host.

If no host specified it uses 127.0.0.1 by default.

Available options:

{
  ack
}

await stream.changeRemote(remoteId, port, [host])

Change the remote end of the stream.

If no host specified it uses 127.0.0.1 by default.

stream.relayTo(destination)

Relay stream to another stream.

await stream.send(buffer)

Send a message to another stream. Returns a promise.

stream.trySend(buffer)

Send a message to another stream.

const drained = await stream.flush()

Wait for pending stream writes to have been explicitly acknowledged by the other side of the connection.

stream.on('connect', onconnect)

stream.on('message', onmessage)

Emitted if the stream receives a message.

stream.on('remote-changed', onremotechanged)

Emitted when the remote end of the stream changes.

stream.on('mtu-exceeded', onmtuexceeded)

Network interfaces

const interfaces = udx.networkInterfaces()

Returns an array of network interfaces, for example:

[
  { name: 'lo', host: '127.0.0.1', family: 4, internal: true },

]

const watcher = udx.watchNetworkInterfaces([onchange])

Listens to changes in the network interfaces. The watcher object is iterable.

watcher.interfaces

Stops watching for changes.

await watcher.destroy()

Closes the watcher.

watcher.on('change', onchange)
