Moz-Readability-Node

Use readability from Mozilla in node software.

Here is the Mozilla readability repo

Here is the package I used to build moz-readability-node. The 2 lines of code are exactly the same but with the Readability.js files updated to use the last version of Mozilla. This commit

What is Readability.js

A standalone version of the readability library used for Firefox Reader View. Any changes to Readability.js itself should be reviewed by an appropriate Firefox/toolkit peer, such as @leibovic or @thebnich, since these changes will be automatically merged to mozilla-central.

Usage

To parse a document, you must create a new Readability object from a document object, and then call parse(). Here's an example:

var article = new Readability(document).parse();

This article object will contain the following properties:

• title: article title
• content: HTML string of processed article content
• length: length of article, in characters
• excerpt: article description, or short excerpt from content
• byline: author metadata
• dir: content direction

If you're using Readability on the web, you will likely be able to use a document reference from elsewhere (e.g. fetched via XMLHttpRequest, in a same-origin <iframe> you have access to, etc.). Otherwise, you would need to construct such an object using a DOM parser such as jsdom. While this repository contains a parser of its own (JSDOMParser), that is restricted to reading XML-compatible markup and therefore we do not recommend it for general use.

Optional

Readability's parse() works by modifying the DOM. This removes some elements in the web page. You could avoid this by passing the clone of the document object while creating a Readability object.

var documentClone = document.cloneNode(true); 
var article = new Readability(documentClone).parse();
