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 🙏

Synchronous and asynchronous XMLHttpRequest for Node

Build install size npm version

unxhr is a tiny wrapper of the built-in http client to emulate the browser XMLHttpRequest object.

Important: This library is a fork of XMLHttpRequest. It was created to be compliant with XMLHttpRequest Level 2.

Highlights

  • Dependency free
  • Asynchronous and synchronous requests
  • GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests
  • Binary data using JavaScript typed arrays
  • Follows redirects
  • Handles file:// protocol

Usage

Here's how to include the module in your project and use as the browser-based XHR object.

const XMLHttpRequest = require('unxhr').XMLHttpRequest
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()

Known Issues / Missing Features

For a list of open issues or to report your own visit the github issues page.

  • Local file access may have unexpected results for non-UTF8 files
  • Synchronous requests don't set headers properly
  • Synchronous requests freeze node while waiting for response (But that's what you want, right? Stick with async!).
  • Some events are missing, such as abort
  • Cookies aren't persisted between requests
  • Missing XML support
