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

Node WHOIS

Node WHOIS is a WHOIS client for Node.js.

Installation

    $ npm install whois-es6

Usage

import { lookup } from 'whois-es6'
lookup('google.com', function(err, data) {
	console.log(data)
})

You may pass an object in between the address and the callback function to tweak the behavior of the lookup function:

{
	"server":  "",   // this can be a string ("host:port") or an object with host and port as its keys; leaving it empty makes lookup rely on servers.json
	"follow":  2,    // number of times to follow redirects
	"timeout": 0,    // socket timeout, excluding this doesn't override any default timeout value
	"verbose": false // setting this to true returns an array of responses from all servers
	"bind": null     // bind the socket to a local IP address
	"proxy": {       // (optional) SOCKS Proxy
		"host": "",
		"port": 0,
		"type": 5    // or 4
	}
}
