Chemical

Create your own web proxy using Ultraviolet fast, easy, and no experience required.

Setup

Server

Create a new node.js project and create a script file for the server.

1. Install Chemical npm install chemicaljs.

2. Import ChemicalServer and create a new server.

import { ChemicalServer } from "chemicaljs";

const chemical = new ChemicalServer();

1. Use chemical.app which is an express app. You may need to import express for certen APIs.

chemical.app.get("/", function(req, res){
    res.send("Hello World");
});

1. Use chemical.server and listen on a port of your choosing.

chemical.server.listen(3000);

Below is an example of a simple backend. This example will setup Chemical and serve the "public" folder along with the index.html file as / and .html files without the extension.

import { ChemicalServer } from "chemicaljs";
import express from "express";

const chemical = new ChemicalServer();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

chemical.app.use(express.static("public", {
    index: "index.html",
    extensions: ["html"]
}));

chemical.server.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Chemical demo listening on port ${port}`);
});

Client

In your project create a folder to store your static assets. Create an index.html file which will be the homepage of your website.

1. Add the Chemical script to the top of your page. This will load all needed scripts for Ultraviolet and Chemical.

<script src="/chemical.js"></script>

1. Encode a URL with Chemical using window.chemicalEncode.

window.chemicalEncode("https://example.com")

1. You may want to check if Chemical has loaded before encoding a URL.

window.chemicalLoaded //true or false

window.addEventListener("chemicalLoaded", function (e) {
    //Chemical has loaded
});

Below is a simple example of a simple input that redirects to the encoded URL when the user presses enter. It checks if there is any input and if Chemical has loaded before loading.

<h1>Chemical Demo</h1>
<input id="search" placeholder="Enter URL">

<script src="/chemical.js"></script>
<script>
    const search = document.getElementById("search");

    search.addEventListener("keydown", function (e) {
        if (e.key == "Enter" && window.chemicalLoaded && e.target.value) {
            window.location = window.chemicalEncode(e.target.value)
        }
    })
</script>
