Crawler and Scraper Module for NestJS
$ npm install --save nest-crawlerFirst, register it in the application module so that Nest can handle dependencies:
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NestCrawlerModule } from 'nest-crawler';
@Module({
imports: [
NestCrawlerModule,
],
})
export class AppModule {}Then, just import it and use it:
crawler.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NestCrawlerModule } from 'nest-crawler';
@Module({
imports: [
NestCrawlerModule,
],
})
export class CrawlerModule {}crawler.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NestCrawlerService } from 'nest-crawler';
@Injectable()
export class CrawlerService {
constructor(
private readonly crawler: NestCrawlerService,
) {}
// scraping the specific page
public async scrape(): Promise<void> {
interface ExampleCom {
title: string;
info: string;
content: string;
}
const data: ExampleCom = await this.crawler.fetch({
target: 'http://example.com',
fetch: {
title: 'h1',
info: {
selector: 'p > a',
attr: 'href',
},
content: {
selector: '.content',
how: 'html',
},
},
});
console.log(data);
// {
// title: 'Example Domain',
// info: 'http://www.iana.org/domains/example',
// content: '<div><h1>Example Heading</h1><p>Example Paragraph</p></div>'
// }
}
// crawling multi pages is also supported
