    • Project mention: Building a README Crawler With Node.js | dev.to | 2024-04-08

    To execute the algorithm, we will use Node.js (for the JavaScript runtime) and node-fetch (for network requests). This means we will run the code locally from the command line. For this project, we will have an output folder to store all the README data, as well as a list (queue) of repository URLs to visit. Before diving into the code, it is important to plan the input and output of the algorithm. For this web crawler, we will start at a valid GitHub repository page, which would be one URL string. After visiting each page with a README, we will export the data into a new file. Now lets cover the process of requesting a repository page from a URL. For this, we only care about saving the README file that is displayed, and we will ignore any other links that GitHub displays (such as the navbar). We will send a URL request with node-fetch, and retrieve the result of a HTML string. If we convert the HTML string to a DOM Tree, we can search for a specific element. GitHub stores the README file under a div with the class "markdown-body". We can use a library called 'jsdom' to use Browser API methods, and return a specific node.
