Installation

Usage

import {Robots} from "@drorgl/robots-parser";
let robots = new Robots('http://www.example.com/robots.txt', [

'User-agent: *',

'Disallow: /dir/',

'Disallow: /test.html',

'Allow: /dir/test.html',

'Allow: /test.html',

'Crawl-delay: 1',

'Sitemap: http://example.com/sitemap.xml',

'Host: example.com'

].join('\n'));

robots.isAllowed('http://www.example.com/test.html', 'Sams-Bot/1.0'); // false

robots.isAllowed('http://www.example.com/dir/test.html', 'Sams-Bot/1.0'); // true

robots.isDisallowed('http://www.example.com/dir/test2.html', 'Sams-Bot/1.0'); // true

robots.getCrawlDelay('Sams-Bot/1.0'); // 1

robots.getSitemaps(); // ['http://example.com/sitemap.xml']

robots.getPreferedHost(); // example.com

isAllowed(urlPath: string, ua?: string): boolean | undefined

Returns true if crawling the specified URL is allowed for the specified user-agent. This will return undefined if the URL isn't valid for this robots.txt.

isDisallowed(urlPath?: string, ua?: string): boolean | undefined

Returns true if crawling the specified URL is not allowed for the specified user-agent. This will return undefined if the URL isn't valid for this robots.txt.

getMatchingLineNumber(urlPath: string, ua?: string): number | undefined

Returns the line number of the matching directive for the specified URL and user-agent if any. Line numbers start at 1 and go up (1-based indexing). Returns -1 if there is no matching directive. If a rule is manually added without a lineNumber then this will return undefined for that rule.

getCrawlDelay(ua?: string): number | undefined

Returns the number of seconds the specified user-agent should wait between requests. Returns undefined if no crawl delay has been specified for this user-agent.

getSitemaps(): string[]

Returns an array of sitemap URLs specified by the sitemap: directive.

getPreferredHost(): string | null

Returns the preferred host name specified by the host: directive or null if there isn't one.
