robots-txt-component
====================
[](https://dl.circleci.com/status-badge/redirect/gh/ibra-akv/robots-txt-component/tree/master)
> Lightweight robots.txt parsing component **without any external dependencies** for **Node.js**.
Installation
------------
Via NPM
npm install robots-txt-component --save
Getting started
---------------
Before using the parser, you need to initialize it like below:
```js
const RobotsParser = require('robots-txt-component');
...
let robots = new RobotsParser('https://www.example.com', true) // allowOnNeutral = true
await robots.init() // Will attempt to retrieve the robots.txt file natively and parse it.
```
#### Check for allowance and other usages:
```js
let robots = new RobotsParser('https://www.example.com', true) // # allowOnNeutral = true
await robots.init() // # Will attempt to retrieve the robots.txt file natively and parse it.
userAgent = '*'
if (robots.canCrawl(url, userAgent)) { // # Will check the url against all the rules found in robots.txt file
// # Your logic
}
// # get the crawl delay for a user agent
let crawlDelay = robots.getCrawlDelay('Bingbot')
// # get raw robots.txt content
let content = robots.getRawContent()
```
API
---
### Robots
#### `constructor(url, allowOnNeutral = true, rawRobotsTxt = null)`
`url`: domain of which robots.txt file you want to use.
`allowOnNeutral`: if the same amount of allows and disallows exist for the a url, do we allow or disallow ?
`rawRobotsTxt`: if you already have retrieved the raw robots.txt content, provide it here.
#### `async init()`
**void**
Must be called and awaited before performing any other action.
This method attempts to retrieve the robots.txt file from the provided url.
#### `getRawContent()`
**string | null**
This method returns the raw robots.txt file content.
#### `canCrawl(url, userAgent)`
**boolean**
Checks the rules for the url path and the user agent in the robots.txt file and returns access policy.
#### `getCrawlDelay(userAgent)`
**integer**
Checks if `crawl-delay` is defined for the user agent and returns it if defined, if not, returns `0`.
