Callable

• createBasicRouter<Context, UserData>(routes?: RouterRoutes<Context, UserData>): 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.

  Serves as a shortcut for using Router.create<BasicCrawlingContext>().

  import { BasicCrawler, createBasicRouter } from 'crawlee';
  
  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();
