Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js (Download Node.js)
pup for HTML parsing (GitHub - ericchiang/pup)
pygmentize for syntax highlighting (pip install Pygments)
jq for JSON syntax highlighting (Download jq)

Installation

git clone https://gitlab.com/a4to/htmlFetcher.git
cd htmlFetcher
npm install

Usage

Fetch and Highlight HTML Content from URLs

To fetch and highlight HTML content directly from a URL:

htmlFetcher example.com

This command fetches the HTML content from example.com, applies syntax highlighting, and prints it to the console.

Processing Fetch Requests Array

For logging HTML content from browser-copied fetch requests:

const htmlFetcher = require('./htmlFetcher');

// Example array of fetch requests
const requests = [
  fetch('https://example.com'),
  fetch('https://anotherexample.com')
];

htmlFetcher(requests);

Command-line Options

--html: Process HTML or JSON content piped into htmlFetcher, useful for either GET or POST requests (where the response may be JSON or HTML).

Example for HTML:

echo "<html>...</html>" | node htmlFetcher.js --html

Example for JSON:

echo '{"key": "value"}' | node htmlFetcher.js --html
