`lines`

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.

Setup

Clone this repo
cd lists (go into this repo's folder)
npm install
npm start

That's it (🎉), the local lists server is now running at localhost:3333!

Usage

Getting all lines

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>",
    //...
  ]
}

Get lines by RegExp

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 ;)
