Usage

All you need is the database information such as database file

try {
  const sqliteDatabaseName = 'crawlsite.sqlite3'

  // Drop Database if exist
  SQLiteFetchQueue.dropDatabase(sqliteDatabaseName)

  // Connect to a disk file database, you pass the path to the database file.
  const crawlerQueue = new SQLiteFetchQueue(sqliteDatabaseName)

  // Initialization of the database
  crawlerQueue.init()

  // Initializing simplecrawler
  const crawler = new Crawler('http://example.com')
  crawler.maxDepth = 3
  crawler.allowInitialDomainChange = false
  crawler.filterByDomain = true
  crawler.queue = crawlerQueue
  crawler.start()
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err)
}

Test

npm test. Check test folder for extra usages.

Additional utilities

• Drop the queue using dropQueue method.

// Connect to a disk file database, you pass the path to the database file.
const crawlerQueue = new SQLiteFetchQueue('sqliteDatabaseName', 'queue')
// Drop 'queue' table
crawlerQueue.dropQueue
// Initialization of the database
crawlerQueue.init()

• Drop the database using SQLiteFetchQueue.dropDatabase static method.

// Drop Database if exist
SQLiteFetchQueue.dropDatabase('sqliteDatabaseName')
// Connect to a disk file database, you pass the path to the database file.
const crawlerQueue = new SQLiteFetchQueue('sqliteDatabaseName', 'queue')
// Initialization of the database
crawlerQueue.init()

• Export the flexible queue system to disk in a JSON file.

// Flexible queue system which can be frozen to disk
crawlerQueue.freeze('./test/www.test.com.sqlite3.json', (err, result) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err)
    }
    console.log(`Number of rows saved to JSON File: ${result}`)
})

• Import from a frozen JSON file on disk.

// Flexible queue system which can be defrosted from disk
crawlerQueue.defrost('./test/www.test.com.sqlite3.json', (err, result) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err)
      process.exit(1)
    }
    console.log(`Number of rows inserted: ${result}`)
})
