meteor-meta-extractor

Extract meta tags (opengraph / facebook, twitter, meta) from a html string or an url. Work on client and server.

Install

meteor add acemtp:meta-extractor

Usage

This package is almost isomorphic. It has only one function extractMeta() that returns an object containing, if found a title, description, image, url.

On the client, the function does a Meteor.call() because only the server can get the content of the url. It's async because there's no fiber on the client. So you have to pass a callback to get the answer:

extractMeta('http://efounders.co', function (err, res) { console.log(res); });

On the server, the function is sync and returns the meta object:

console.log(extractMeta('http://efounders.co'));

Both example will display something like:

{
  description: 'eFounders is a startup Studio. Together with entrepreneurs, we turn unique ideas into successful companies. We act as the perfect co-founder to build strong and independent startups. ',
  title: 'eFounders • Startup Studio',
  image: 'http://efounders.co/public/images/630_homepage.jpg',
  url: 'http://efounders.co/'
}

Example

Go to example directory and run meteor inside it.
