Object-Oriented SiteMap

BY: DerpDevs

What is this?

This is a project made by DerpDevs, we were working on some stuff and realized that we were going to need a web scraper/sitemap creator. There were current options, but none of them fullfilled the Object-Oriented style we preferred, we decided to go aside and create an Object-Oriented SiteMap Generator.

This uses an intersting method of progress due to our knowledge limits.

Functioning Method

The way this works is:

• It scrapes the website
• It is a live generator with a "done" event for when the scraper is done and an "add" event for every url it scrapes.
• It's formatted like this:

URL: "https://example.com"

{
	aPath: {
		'/':'https://example.com/aPath'
		subPath: {
			'/':'https://example.com/aPath/subPath'
		}
	},
	otherPath: {
		'/':'https://example.com/otherPath'
	} 
}

and it continues like that.

Create SiteMap

This is how you create a sitemap:

(Options Are Showed In This README, excluding the filePath option)

const SiteMapGenerator = require('oositemap')

var SiteMap = new SiteMapGenerator('https://example.com', options)


// Every time a URL is scraped
SiteMap.on('add', (url) => {console.log(`SCRAPED:  ${url}`)})

// When it's done scraping
SiteMap.on('done', (generated) => {console.log(generated)})

// If it errors
SiteMap.on('error', (err) => (console.error(err)))

// Every time something gets ignored due to the "ignore" option
SiteMap.on('ignore', (url) => {console.log(`IGNORED: ${url}`)})


SiteMap.start()

Functions

start

SiteMap.start()

Start the scraper.

stop

SiteMap.stop()

End the scraper (runs the done event).

(Takes at least 2500ms before it calls the event, just to make sure it's done scraping.)

on

SiteMap.on(/* Event */,/* Function */)

Registers a handler for an event (one per event).

Events

add

SiteMap.on('add', (url) => {/* Code Here */})

Every time a URL is scraped.

done

SiteMap.on('done', (generated) => {/* Code Here */})

When it's done scraping.

error

SiteMap.on('error', (error) => {/* Code Here */})

If it errors.

ignore

SiteMap.on('ignore', (url) => {/* Code Here */})

Every time something gets ignored due to the "ignore" option.

We hope this helped!
