## Patang
Easy plug-in module for extracting product details for e-commerce websites like Flipkart and Amazon in an easy-to-read JSON format. It extends two implementations - with __Puppeteer__ and __DOM String__.

### Who Should Use This?
This module would come in handy if one is building for some kind of a __scraping operation__ and needs to evaluate product details. It takes care of the logic for extracting product details.

### Supported Platforms
- [Flipkart](https://www.flipkart.com)
- [Amazon India](https://amazon.in)

### Setup
Install the package in your Node.js application
```
npm i --save patang
```
You can go ahead and require it wherever you need to use it.
``` javascript
// sample file: ./index.js
const patang = require('patang');
```

### Usages - Examples
There are two ways to utilize the library

#### __With DOM String__
The `evaluateProductDetails` function of the `pageEvaluator` module expects the `HTML DOM string` and one of the `supported platform name` as parameter.

```javascript
const axios = require('axios');
const { domEvaluator } = require('patang');

// Flipkart
let exampleFlpktUrl = 'https://www.flipkart.com/boat-stone-grenade-5-w-portable-bluetooth-speaker/p/itm0f38c2f530da5?pid=ACCFDBFR9ZCZTDGJ&lid=LSTACCFDBFR9ZCZTDGJUKDA7E&marketplace=FLIPKART&srno=b_1_1&otracker=hp_omu_Top%2BOffers_5_3.dealCard.OMU_MG06BUMHI8DW_3&otracker1=hp_omu_PINNED_neo%2Fmerchandising_Top%2BOffers_NA_dealCard_cc_5_NA_view-all_3&fm=neo%2Fmerchandising&iid=78c6c4aa-ba59-437b-b973-e57a583ee1c7.ACCFDBFR9ZCZTDGJ.SEARCH&ppt=browse&ppn=browse&ssid=ca4ygt9n0g0000001608474631861';

axios.get(exampleFlpktUrl)
.then((res) => {
console.log('Flipkart Product Details')
// printing the extracted details as an example
// use the return value as you see apt for your use-case
console.log(domEvaluator.evaluateProductDetails(res.data, 'flipkart'));
});
```

#### __With Puppeteer__
The `evaluateProductDetails` function of the `domEvaluator` module expects the `platform name` and the `puppeteer page object` to be made available.

``` javascript
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const { pageEvaluator } = require('patang');

let exampleFlpktUrl = 'https://www.flipkart.com/boat-stone-grenade-5-w-portable-bluetooth-speaker/p/itm0f38c2f530da5?pid=ACCFDBFR9ZCZTDGJ&lid=LSTACCFDBFR9ZCZTDGJUKDA7E&marketplace=FLIPKART&srno=b_1_1&otracker=hp_omu_Top%2BOffers_5_3.dealCard.OMU_MG06BUMHI8DW_3&otracker1=hp_omu_PINNED_neo%2Fmerchandising_Top%2BOffers_NA_dealCard_cc_5_NA_view-all_3&fm=neo%2Fmerchandising&iid=78c6c4aa-ba59-437b-b973-e57a583ee1c7.ACCFDBFR9ZCZTDGJ.SEARCH&ppt=browse&ppn=browse&ssid=ca4ygt9n0g0000001608474631861';
let exampleAmznUrl = 'https://www.amazon.in/Honor-HONOR-Band-5/dp/B07Z26SS9G/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=E2RZU&pf_rd_p=e60c70f0-0541-4ba5-b6fc-ada95198a5fe&pf_rd_r=FVVSZP80NMR76D87FG70&pd_rd_r=c469c8b3-2ea8-4cb2-b9e3-8ca2cd005fe4&pd_rd_wg=Xwn0L&ref_=pd_gw_crs_zg_bs_1984443031';

async function extractDetailsFromPage() {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: true, defaultViewport: null, args: [
'--no-sandbox',
'--disable-setuid-sandbox',
'--no-zygote',
'--no-default-browser-check',
'--bwsi',
'--disable-dev-shm-usage',
'--disable-infobars',
'--hide-scrollbars',
],
});

const page = await browser.newPage();

await page.goto(exampleFlpktUrl, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });
console.log('Flipkart Product Details');
console.log(await pageEvaluator.evaluateProductDetails(page, 'flipkart'));

await page.goto(exampleAmznUrl, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });
console.log('Amazon Product Details');
console.log(await pageEvaluator.evaluateProductDetails(page, 'amazon'));

await page.close();
await browser.close();

return 'Completed!';
}

// invoking the function
extractDetailsFromPage()
.then(res => console.log(res));
```
