Npm user packages scrapper
Small utility that scraps the packages of certain npm user. This means, packages publicly available created by the target user. It was built specifically as a helper library for my port-folio. Funnily it scraps itself as part of the portfolio generation.
The scrapped information includes
- badges (if any)
- package name
- package specific url
- package description (basically all readme paragraphs)
Usage
It only exports one function, that accepts an npm username as first parameter. The second optional parameter is a destination file where the scrapped information will be saved as a JSON file.
The function returns a promise that fulfills when scrap completes, with one of the following results:
- If a destination parameter was provided, then the promise fulfills to the result of file saving.
- If a destination parameter was not provided then the promise fulfills to an array of packages information.
