Callable

  • createBasicRouter<Context>(): RouterHandler<Context>

  • Creates new Router instance that works based on request labels. This instance can then serve as a requestHandler of our BasicCrawler. Defaults to the BasicCrawlingContext.

    const router = createBasicRouter();
    router.addHandler('label-a', async (ctx) => {
    ctx.log.info('...');
    });
    router.addDefaultHandler(async (ctx) => {
    ctx.log.info('...');
    });

    const crawler = new BasicCrawler({
    requestHandler: router,
    });
    await crawler.run();
