The purpose of this software project is to provide a basis for the development of the Wavo Link Harvester that will allow users to submit the music-video links and embedded objects contained in a webpage to the wavo servers for further processing.
This module will eventually be extended to allow users to save music-videos from across the web and save them in their wavo collections.
As a secondary purpose, the following module will be given as an assignment to wavo applicants in order to assess their programming skills as well as their ability to work in an autonomous fashion when provided with general requirements.
The following URI types must be gathered :
-
youtube links
-
Vimeo links
-
soundcloud links
The following embedded objects types must be gathered :
-
youtube links
-
Vimeo links
-
soundcloud links
The following iframe types must be gathered :
-
youtube links
-
Vimeo links
-
soundcloud links
The elements gathered must be printed console.log as they are found in the DOM.
This logging facility must be easily extensible in order to allow reporting to the wavo servers in the future.
Each of the module’s routine/functions needs to be properly documented using jsDocs. The required jsDocs elements are @param, @return, and @constructor when applicable.
The module must be easily extensible in order to allow for the gathering of object types other than links embedded objects., or iframes.
Each of these sub-modules must also be easily extensible in order to allow, for example, the gathering of additional types of link.
The module must be easily maintainable for all users. Hence, the code is supposed to loaded from a central public repository when the user activates the bookmarklet.
The using the following code snippet as the bookmarked URI should allow the fulfillment of this requirement :
javascript:(function(){
var a = document.createElement('script');
a.setAttribute('src', JS_MODULE_URI);document.body.appendChild(a);}
)();
