API

parseFavicon

parseFavicon(
  url: string
, textFetcher: TextFetcher
, bufferFetcher?: BufferFetcher
): Observable<Icon>

type TextFetcher = (url: string) => PromiseLike<string>
type BufferFetcher = (url: string) => PromiseLike<ArrayBuffer>

interface Icon {
  url: string
  reference: string
  type: null | string
  size: null | 'any' | Size | Size[]
}

interface Size {
  width: number
  height: number
}

parseFavicon accepts textFetcher and bufferFetcher for further fetching requests when parsing icons, bufferFetcher is optional. If you need actual icon sizes and type, should provide bufferFetcher.
