@rent-scraper/utils

Internal package. Shared utilities and config file management used across all @rent-scraper/* packages.

Config (config.ts)

Handles reading and writing the YAML config files (config.zillow.yaml, config.redfin.yaml).

• readConfigFile(source) — parse the config file for a source
• writeConfigFile(source, config) — write config back to disk
• getValueFromConfigFile(source, key) — read a single config key
• updateConfigFile(source, payload) — merge and save partial updates
• getConfigFilePath(source) — resolve the config file path (workspace root in dev, pointer file in prod)
• checkForConfigFile(source) — return whether the config file exists
• checkBrowserServer() — ping localhost:8082 and return whether the browser server is running
• checkRequiredConfigValues(source, config) — return a list of missing required fields

Utilities (index.ts)

General-purpose helpers used across the monorepo: array comparison, error parsing, YAML read/write, path resolution, and random value selection.
