Dead Link

A package for checking web pages for dead links.

Usage

1. Install. npm install dead-link --save

2. Use it.

var deadLink = require("dead-link");

deadLink.check('https://google.com', {
    failure: function(uri){
        console.log("You have a dead link");
    }
});

Definition

• .check(link, callbacks)
  • Gets all hrefs at the link page, and visits them really quickly.
  • callbacks is an optional value containing functions that are triggered throughout the proccess
  • callbacks.succsss(uri) is called whenever the uri is successfully visited
  • callbacks.failure(uri) is called whenever the uri is broken
  • callbacks.finished(links) is called whenever links are retrieved from the initial page.

Check out example.js to see usage.

Why

I see too many sites with links that are broken. Use this to make something that checks your site automagically. Please.

No more dead links.
