Advanced tools
This script demonstrates a variety of tasks such as fetching web content, extracting text, translating it, saving to a file, encrypting the file, and serving the result via an HTTP server using 10 different npm packages.
axios package to download the content of a webpage.cheerio package to parse HTML and extract text.google-translate-api package to translate the text to another language (e.g., Spanish).fs-extra package to write the translated text to a file.crypto package to encrypt the file.express, body-parser, morgan, and cors packages to create and configure an HTTP server.dotenv package to manage environment variables.Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/repository-name.git
cd repository-name
Install Dependencies:
npm install
Create a .env File:
Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:
ENCRYPTION_KEY=mysecretkey
PORT=3000
Run the Script:
node script.js
const axios = require('axios');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const translate = require('@vitalets/google-translate-api');
const fs = require('fs-extra');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const morgan = require('morgan');
const cors = require('cors');
require('dotenv').config();
const url = 'https://example.com';
const outputFilePath = './output.txt';
const encryptedFilePath = './encrypted_output.txt';
const encryptionKey = process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY || 'mysecretkey';
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
function encryptFile(inputPath, outputPath, key) {
const algorithm = 'aes-256-cbc';
const iv = crypto.randomBytes(16);
const cipher = crypto.createCipheriv(algorithm, key, iv);
const input = fs.createReadStream(inputPath);
const output = fs.createWriteStream(outputPath);
input.pipe(cipher).pipe(output);
output.on('finish', () => {
console.log('File encrypted successfully.');
});
}
async function main() {
try {
const { data } = await axios.get(url);
const $ = cheerio.load(data);
const text = $('body').text();
const translation = await translate(text, { to: 'es' });
const translatedText = translation.text;
await fs.outputFile(outputFilePath, translatedText);
console.log('Text saved to file.');
encryptFile(outputFilePath, encryptedFilePath, encryptionKey);
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(morgan('combined'));
app.use(cors());
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/' + encryptedFilePath);
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
