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 🙏

wgu-cache

Redis based distributed cache plugin for the WGU Service layer

Install

Run the following command in the root of your wgu-service-template cloned directory

npm install wgu-cache --save

Usage

This is a plugin for the wgu-service-template. All that is needed to use this is to make sure you have installed the package wgu-cache and added the package and version to the package.json found in the root of the application.

Once installed this module will instantiate an instance of WguCache which makes a connection to a remote redis client. It will then attach the instantiated WguCache object to the server as well as add the methods getAndCache, putBustCache, postBustCache, and delBustCache to the server.

Example: (code should be in the routes file index.js of the proper service folder)

module.exports = function( server )
{
	server.getAndCache('/hello', function( req, res, next )
	{
		//like a call to get but caches the results for 10 seconds
    	res.send({ msg: 'hello'}, 10);
	}); 
	
	server.putBustCache('/hello', function( req, res, next )
	{
		//like a call to put but busts any cached results
		res.send({ msg: 'cache busted result'});
	});
	server.postBustCache('/hello', function( req, res, next )
	{
		//like a call to post but busts any cached results
		res.send({ msg: 'cache busted result'});
	});
	server.delBustCache('/hello', function( req, res, next )
	{
		//like a call to del but busts any cached results
		res.send({ msg: 'cache busted result'});
	});
};

When sending a response via the restify res.send you must include a second parameter that represents the amount of seconds that this data should be cached.

There is no need to require the module in the routes file. Just installing it in the project will allow it to attach itself to the server object at runtime.
