robotize

Generates a robots.txt

This module generates a robots.txt. The generated robots.txt conforms to the standards set by Google. Use it to programmatically generate a robots.txt file for your site.

Installation

$ npm install robotize

Example

const robotize = require('robotize');
const opts = {
	useragent: 'googlebot',
	allow: ['index.html', 'about.html'],
	disallow: ['404.html'],
	sitemap: 'https://www.site.com/sitemap.xml'
};

robotize(opts, (err, robots) => {
	if (err) {
		throw new Error(err);
	} else {
		console.log(robots);
	}
});

Will log:

User-agent: googlebot
Allow: index.html
Allow: about.html
Disallow: 404.html
Sitemap: https://www.site.com/sitemap.xml

Options

Robotize accepts an object with options. The options are:

• useragent: the useragent - String, default: *
• allow: an array of the url(s) to allow - Array of Strings
• disallow: an array of the url(s) to disallow - Array of Strings
• sitemap: the sitemap url - String

Robotize expects at least one of the last three options. So either allow, disallow or sitemap must be passed.
