robots-parser - npm Package Versions

Version 3.0.1

• Fixed bug with https: URLs defaulting to port 80 instead of 443 if no port is specified. Thanks to @dskvr for reporting

  This affects comparing URLs with the default HTTPs port to URLs without it. For example, comparing https://example.com/ to https://example.com:443/ or vice versa.

  They should be treated as equivalent but weren't due to the incorrect port being used for https:.

Version 3.0.0

• Changed to using global URL object instead of importing. – Thanks to @brendankenny

Version 2.4.0:

• Added Typescript definitions. – Thanks to @danhab99 for creating
• Added SECURITY.md policy and CodeQL scanning

Version 2.3.0:

• Fixed bug where if the user-agent passed to isAllowed() / isDisallowed() is called "constructor" it would throw an error.

• Added support for relative URLs. This does not affect the default behavior so can safely be upgraded.

  Relative matching is only allowed if both the robots.txt URL and the URLs being checked are relative.

  For example:

  var robots = robotsParser('/robots.txt', [
      'User-agent: *',
      'Disallow: /dir/',
      'Disallow: /test.html',
      'Allow: /dir/test.html',
      'Allow: /test.html'
  ].join('\n'));
  
  robots.isAllowed('/test.html', 'Sams-Bot/1.0'); // false
  robots.isAllowed('/dir/test.html', 'Sams-Bot/1.0'); // true
  robots.isDisallowed('/dir/test2.html', 'Sams-Bot/1.0'); // true
