@sansa-app/parser v0.0.5

parser

Common set of parsers for Sansa Chrome Extension and Backend

Installation

yarn add @sansa-app/parser

NPM Scripts

• yarn build - To build the package
• yarn dev - To run the package locally in developement mode. Required for testing the library
• yarn publish --access public - To publish the library to npm Once we make the package private, we won't require the --access public flag

Testing locally

To test the library locally, without publishing to npm, first setup the example directory as

cd example
yarn install

Once the dependencies are installed in the example directory, you can start the dev server in the root directory

yarn dev

and you can check whether the parser can parse a particular website using the example present in the example directory

cd example
node index.js https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/sports/the-athletic-layoffs.html

Creating new parser

To add a new parser, add the content and url in newsWebsites.ts file. There are some helper functions present in utils such as

• getContentFromTextNodes - merge all the content from the text nodes into a single string

Trouble Shooting

If there are some errors while building the package like Unexpected Token, remove the node_modules and install them again in the root directory

rm -rf node_module && yarn install
