This service does one thing, breaks up an HTML document into a JSON array of lines. Allowing you to count or find information in a document.
- Clone this repo
cd lists(go into this repo's folder)npm installnpm start
That's it (🎉), the local lists server is now running at localhost:3333!
Send a GET request to the service with the absolute path of the document you want to split lines on.
like:
https://servicedomain.com/https://htmlinquestion.com/file.html
example:
<script>
fetch('servicedomain.com/' + window.location.href)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data.lines))
.catch(err => console.log('Something went wrong:', err));
</script>The response will look like:
{
"lines": [
"<html>",
" <head>",
//...
]
}If you want to search for lines by regex you can use the ?_regexp param.
like:
https://servicedomain.com/https://htmlinquestion.com/file.html?_regexp=/something/i
which returns:
{
"matches": [
{
// raw matching line
line: " something happened and I didn't know it at the time",
// index of the line as it lives inside the document
index: 50
},
{
line: " something else happened",
index: 124
},
// ... and so on for all matches
]
}Note there is a difference between responses with ?_regexp and without it. So don't say I didn't warn you ;)
