Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

gcrawler

v1.0.2

Published

A web crawler library

Readme

Gcrawler

Gcrawler is a web exploring library which can be used for searching a word or a sentence on a web page and its subpages. It is going to go searching on the subpages only if the word is not found in the main page. For the sake of avoiding unrelated searches, the library navigates only the subpages in the same domain with the main page.

In order to use this package, first install the gcrawler package

npm install gcrawler

Then require gcrawler in your code and pass the module the parameters page and word which corresponds to the page you want to explore and the word you want to search respectively

var crawl = require('gcrawler'); 
crawl(<the page>,<the word>);

You should see the number of occurrences of the word and the page in which the word is found.

TODO

Make the library return the appropriate values instead of console logging them. (Needs a work around to return values computed by asynchronous functions like request)
