wayne VS jsdom

Just created a Server-Sent Events Proxy with my Open Source library Wayne. This was the last open issue on GitHub.

This is not in any way useful, but I thought it's a cool hack that you can render ReactJS inside a Service worker and serve routes as HTTP requests. This is a showcase of my Open Source library Wayne.

This a demo of few of my Open Source projects I'm maintainer of: * Wayne - Service Worker HTTP Router * jQuery Filebrowser (almost forget about this one, but someone created an issue recently) * lighting-fs - in Browser implementation of NodeJS fs module

Few of my Open Source projects: * jQuery terminal * LIPS Scheme * Gaiman * Sysend * Wayne

But first a little bit of background. Last year I've create a JavaScript library called Wayne that abstract the idea of creating pure in browser HTTP requests with the help of Service Worker. The API is similar to express.js NodeJS framework, but work in the browser instead of the server.

If you happen to be using React Testing Library in your project, you'll need to keep the jsdom dev dependency installed.

Readability.js requires a DOM object to parse the readable content from a website. That's why we create a DOM object with JSDOM and provide the HTML from the page and its current URL. By the way, the browser may have had to follow HTTP redirects, so the current URL doesn't necessarily have to be the one we provided initially. The parse function of the library returns the following result:

This was the basic usage of JSDOM. If you want to learn more, please check out this documentation.

Web scraping, while immensely useful, often requires developers to navigate a sea of tools and libraries, each with its own quirks and intricacies. Whether it's JSDOM, Cheerio, Playwright, or even just plain old vanilla JS in the DevTools console, moving between these platforms can be a challenge.

React testing library uses jsdom (or others like happy-dom) under the hood to emulate the browser environment and enable testing of different properties. but it doesn't render the component in an actual browser meaning the styles can't be computed and the returned computed style is just an object with the correct keys but empty strings as values.

Note: In order to use the library jsdom to scrape the HTML response we need to avoid the @import statements in the CSS.

The code uses jSDom to render the app but I was wondering if it's possible to run the app without the UI to be able to use a library like that to generate the string from react element.
