Lightweight robots.txt parsing component without any external dependencies for Node.js.
Via NPM
npm install robots-txt-component --save
Before using the parser, you need to initialize it like below:
const RobotsParser = require('robots-txt-component');
...
let robots = new RobotsParser('https://www.example.com', true) // allowOnNeutral = true
await robots.init() // Will attempt to retrieve the robots.txt file natively and parse it.let robots = new RobotsParser('https://www.example.com', true) // # allowOnNeutral = true
await robots.init() // # Will attempt to retrieve the robots.txt file natively and parse it.
userAgent = '*'
if (robots.canCrawl(url, userAgent)) { // # Will check the url against all the rules found in robots.txt file
// # Your logic
}
// # get the crawl delay for a user agent
let crawlDelay = robots.getCrawlDelay('Bingbot')
// # get raw robots.txt content
let content = robots.getRawContent()url: domain of which robots.txt file you want to use.
allowOnNeutral: if the same amount of allows and disallows exist for the a url, do we allow or disallow ?
rawRobotsTxt: if you already have retrieved the raw robots.txt content, provide it here.
