# Metaparser [](https://travis-ci.org/haydenbleasel/metaparser)
A Cheerio helper library for my Node.js automation modules. Installed through NPM with:
```shell
npm install metaparser --save-dev
```
Simply require the module and execute it with an optional array of configuration.
- Source: HTML file to write to.
- Add: String, Array or Object of elements to add (literal elements)
- Remove: String, Array or Object of elements to remove (pseudo selectors)
- Callback: Function to execute upon completion (parameters are 'error' and 'html').
Defaults are shown below:
```js
var metaparser = require('metaparser');
metaparser({
source: null,
add: null,
remove: null,
out: null,
callback: null
});
```
Example usage:
```js
metaparser({
source: 'test/index.html',
add: '<link rel="author" href="humans.txt" />',
remove: 'link[rel="author"]',
out: 'test/index2.html',
callback: function (error, data) {
console.log(error, data);
}
});
```
Data can be provided directly:
```js
metaparser({
data: '<html><head><meta name="author" content="Superman"></head></html>',
add: '<link rel="author" href="humans.txt" />',
remove: 'link[rel="author"]',
out: 'test/index2.html',
callback: function (error, data) {
console.log(error, data);
}
});
```
