Feed in a raw markup from a webpage to get extracted metadata fields.
From .html file:
`js
import fs from "fs";
import siteMetadataExtractor from "site-metadata-extractor";
const getMetadataFromFile = (filename) => {
const filepath = path.resolve(__dirname, ../data/${filename}.html);
const markup = fs.readFileSync(filepath).toString();
// feel free to use localhost as the second parameter for testing
const metadata = siteMetadataExtractor(markup, "YOUR_SITE_ORIGIN_HERE");
return metadata;
};
getMetadataFromFile("example");
`
From a server request:
`js
import axios from 'axios';
import siteMetadataExtractor from 'site-metadata-extractor';
const processSite = async (url) => {
return axios.get(url, config = {})
.then(res => {
const { headers } = res;
const contentType = headers['content-type'];
if (contentType.includes('text/html')) {
return {
body: res.data,
url
};
} else {
return {};
}
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
};
processSite('https://www.cnbc.com/guide/personal-finance-101-the-complete-guide-to-managing-your-money/)
.then((data) => {
...
siteMetadataExtractor(data, "https://www.cnbc.com/guide/personal-finance-101-the-complete-guide-to-managing-your-money/", "en");
...
});
