Combatting Alert Fatigue by Prioritizing Malicious Intent
In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.

The main difference from others that Impress core is monolithic and its approach is to make all in one solution with high code coupling for obligatory things and leave not obligatory to be integrated by applied developers optionally. High coupling in core gives us advantages in performance and code simplicity. For example, why we should implement static files serving or memory caching as a plugin while no one application will omit that.
$ npm install impress
Following "server.js" is stating file. Run it using command line "node server" for debug or "nohup node server" for production.
require('impress');
impress.init(function() {
// Place here other initialization code
// to be executed after Impress initialization
});
File "access.js" is something line ".htaccess", you can easily define access restrictions for each folder, placing "access.js" in it. If folder not contains "access.js" it will inherit from parent folder and so on. Example:
module.exports = {
guests: true, // allow requests from not logged users
logged: true, // allow requests from logged users
http: true, // allow requests using http protocol
https: true, // allow requests using https protocol (SSL)
groups: [] // allow access for user groups listed in array
// or for all if array is empty or no groups field specified
}
File "request.js": place such file in folder to be executed on each request (GET, POST, PUT, etc.). If folder not contains "request.js" it will inherit from parent folder and so on. Example:
module.exports = function(req, res, callback) {
res.context.data = {
title: "Page Title",
users: [
{
name: "vasia", age: 22,
emails: ["user1@gmail.com", "user2@gmail.com"]
},{
name: "dima", age: 32,
emails: ["user3@gmail.com", "user4@gmail.com", "user5@gmail.com"]
}
],
session: JSON.stringify(impress.sessions[req.impress.session])
};
callback();
}
File "get.js": place such file in folder to be executed on GET request. For POST request "post.js", and so on. If folder not contains "get.js" it will inherit from parent folder and so on. Example:
module.exports = function(req, res, callback) {
db.polltool.query('select * from City', function(err, rows, fields) {
if (err) throw err;
res.context.data = { rows:rows, fields:fields };
callback();
});
}
File "html.template": place such file in folder as a main page template. Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>@title@</title>
</head>
<body>
<div> Field value: @field@ </div>
<div> Include template: @[name]@ - this will include file "./name.template" </div>
<div> This will iterate "res.context.data" from "request.js" example above:
@[users]@
<div>
User name: @.name@<br/>
User age: @.age@<br/>
Email addresses:
<ul>
@[emails]@
<li>@.value@</li>
@[/emails]@
</ul>
</div>
@[/users]@
</div>
</body>
</html>
