Link Check Open Source: url-fi

-

Introduction

Url-fi is a command-line tool written in NodeJS for finding and reporting dead links in a file. Users might use this tool to help locate broken URLs in any type of file (e.g., HTML, text file). This is the GitHub repository you can get my codes: https://github.com/hyunjiLeeTech/URL-FI




How to set up the tool

  1. Copy and paste the link into a terminal or visual studio code with the following command: git clone https://github.com/hyunjiLeeTech/URL-FI.git
  2. To start the tool, use the cd command to make sure you are in the correct folder and then install all the dependencies using the npm command: npm i
  3. Enter the command to start the tool. You need to mention the file name.


Usage

url-fi [argument(s)] [filename]


Arguments

  • -v: Running the tool with v argument prints the name of the tool and its version
  • -s: Running the tool with the s argument checks both http:// https://
  • -h: Running the tool with the h argument prints the usage of this tool


Features

  • Colorized output. Good URLs should be printed in green, bad URLs in red, and unknown URLs in gray & running the tool with the v argument should print the name of the tool and its version
  • Add a command-line flag to allow checking whether http:// URLs actually work using https://
  • Optimize network code so that this tool only request headers vs. downloading full bodies


Examples of how to use this tool

Release 4.0 - Part 3: Release

-
In this post, I am going to describe the journey of the release 4.0. Release 4.0 is the 3 weeks project. In the first week, I chose the project to work on. As the issue I chose required knowledge I do not have any idea (Gatsby and Nextjs), I need to learn these. In the second week, I learned the Gatsby and Nextjs to read the document on the Next official website. Also, I checked the pull request other people already created for the project. And this week, I started writing codes to resolve the issue. It was hard to begin to migrate the pages from Gatsby to the Nextjs. I needed to google a lot to find the proper way to migrate the code for the project. The components I was assigned are Error page, SEO, and SearchHelp components. The SEO component is relatively easy because the Next official website indicated how to do it most. However, the Error page is the most difficult part for me. When I googled how to make the Nextjs Errorpage, most people recommend to use the JavaScript extension ...

Hacktoberfest: Second Pull Request - wanikani-notifier

 This post describes the journey of the second pull request for Hacktoberfest which encourages new people to get involved in the open-source community. The post for the first pull request for Hacktoberfest is the following:  https://hyunjijanelee.blogspot.com/2020/10/hacktoberfest-first-pull-request-tower.html In this time, I have struggled to find an issue to work on. Most of the issues I would like to work on are already taken to another person and other issues have some problems on the project so I cannot run it properly. I kept finding a proper project and found one project named wanikani-notifier. The link for the wanikani-notifier is the following:  https://github.com/upsetdog/wanikani-notifier When I found an issue with this project, I cloned the project to check whether I can run this project. At that time, I found it has another issue to make it better. On this project, there is no 'package-lock.json' file so users need to install modules checking what modules ar...

Open Source Project: Lab2 (Pull Request)

Image
 Introduction In this lab, I practiced contributing and submitting pull requests to other repositories I don't own. Following the lab instruction , the things I plan to practice are the following: forking and cloning other projects creating branches to work on new features and fix bugs working on code I didn't write, trying to maintain the original style and not break things creating pull requests collaborating with other developers on GitHub updating my pull requests to include fixes for review comments The Project I picked for pull request ( https://github.com/lixiaoqity/testLink/pull/7 ) I looked around the classmates' open source project and picked the project named testLink. The GitHub repository link is the following:  https://github.com/lixiaoqity/testLink/pull/7 .  I picked this project because it also uses the NodeJS which I picked for my project. It was really interesting to see how code can be written differently for the same subject. When I look over the proje...
