HTML Processor

Clean and enhance your offline HTML files

html-processor is a simple Node.js module that allows you to process a batch of html files programmatically or through the command line. html-processor will allow the following operations:

• remove elements specified by a jquery selector
• add custom styles
• create new elements in defined locations
• custom operations, coded in a JavaScript function

Usage

install through npm ny running:

npm install html-processor

require the module from your Node.js application:

var cleanFiles = require('html-processor'); cleanFiles();

cleanjs exports a function that takes 5 parameters. If you call the function without any parameters and run the above code from the command line, you will be prompted for them. Otherwise you can provide the parameters in your application:

cleanFiles(directory, elementsToDelete, customStyles, customFunction, callback);

directory: the absolute path to the directory containing your html content

elementsToDelete: a string of comma separated jQuery selectors to specify elements to delete

customStyles: A set of css rules defined as a string to be applied to each page

customFunction: A custom js function. The function should take one parameter 'html', which is the full HTML document as a jQuery variable. It should return the same varaible after manipulation.

callback:
