spider-pig

Get a list of local URL links from a root URL. Works with JavaScript generated content. Can also act as a live-DOM CSS search across multiple files (find all the templates that are using the CSS selector I want to change).

<a href="test.html">Test</a><!-- match -->
<a href="test2.html">Test</a><!-- match -->
<a href="test2.html">Duplicate Test</a><!-- do not match -->
<a href="root.html">URL to self</a><!-- match -->
<a href="mailto:test@example.com">Email link</a><!-- do not match -->
<a href="http://www.google.com/">External</a><!-- do not match -->

Normalizes all of the matching URLs to be full absolute URLs (including host and protocol and path, etc).

Installation

Available on npm.

npm install @zachleat/spider-pig

Usage

$ spiderpig http://zachleat.localhost/web/
http://zachleat.localhost/web/
http://zachleat.localhost/web/about/
http://zachleat.localhost/web/best-of/
…

Filter URLs

$ spiderpig http://zachleat.localhost/web/ --filter="/about/"
http://zachleat.localhost/web/about/

Show URLs that contain a CSS Selector

Useful to see where CSS changes might regress on a project. This takes a bit of time. You can also mix in --filter here too.

$ spiderpig http://zachleat.localhost/web/ --selector=".header"
Found 180 urls.
Looking for urls with CSS selector ".header":
http://zachleat.localhost/web/ ✅  Yes
http://zachleat.localhost/web/about/ ✅  Yes
http://zachleat.localhost/web/best-of/ ✅  Yes
http://zachleat.localhost/web/projects/ ✅  Yes

Add a limit

Use --selectorlimit to set an upper bound on the number of URLs that get spidered.

$ spiderpig http://zachleat.localhost/web/ --selector=".header" --selectorlimit=3
Found 180 urls
Looking for urls with CSS selector ".header" (limit 3):
http://zachleat.localhost/web/ ✅  Yes
http://zachleat.localhost/web/about/ ✅  Yes
http://zachleat.localhost/web/best-of/ ✅  Yes
…

Debug mode

API

Get URLs

const SpiderPig = require("@zachleat/spider-pig");

    let sp = new SpiderPig();
    await sp.start();

    let urls = await sp.fetchLocalUrls("http://localhost/myproject/");

    // Optional, filter (case sensitive)
    urls = sp.filterUrls(urls, "views");

const SpiderPig = require("@zachleat/spider-pig");

(async function() {
    let sp = new SpiderPig();
    let selector = ".test-css-selector:nth-child(2)";

    await sp.start();

    let urls = await sp.fetchLocalUrls("http://localhost/myproject/");

    for(let url of urls) {
        if( await sp.hasSelector(url, selector) ) {
            // has it
        } else {
            // doesn’t have it
        }
    }
})();
