jStrip

Pass a webpage uri with pure jQuery to jStrip and retrieve the results. The results are returned via a Promise or Async/Await, examples below.

Installing

Start with installing jStrip. Install with npm.

npm i -S jStrip

Include jStrip into your code.

const jStrip = require('jStrip');

jStrip takes 2 String Parameters, comma delimited: [webpage] and [jQuery]. For example:

jStrip("http://www.google.com","$('title').html()");

jStrip returns an object, with four properties:

• data: the results from your jquery selector.
• timed: milliseconds taken for uri retrieval.
• uri: the uri of the page.
• jquery: the jquery executed on the uri.

for example:

{
  data:  "Sunny with light winds.",
  timed: 1238,
  uri: "http://www.my-weather.co.nz",
  jquery: "$('div#weatherDesc').html()"
}

jStrip can be written as a Promise or as Async/Await.

Using Promises

// Using Promise
jStrip('https://www.bing.com', "$('title').html()")
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(`promise result: ${result.data}
      time taken: ${result.timed}
      uri: ${result.uri}
      jquery: ${result.jquery}`);
  })
  .catch((e) => {
    console.log(`Error: ${e}`);
  });

Using Async/Await

// Using Async/Await
const fn = (async () => {
  try {
    const result = await jStrip('https://www.youtube.com', "$('title').html()");
    await console.log(`async/await result: ${result.data}
      time taken: ${result.timed}
      uri: ${result.uri}
      jquery: ${result.jquery}`);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(`error ${err}`);
  }
})();
