404 Finder Tool

A tool to crawl a site and log any resources that return a 404. Results are presented with a searchable todo-style checklist.

Setup

1. Install Node
2. Clone repo git clone git@github.com:hudakdidit/site_crawler.git
3. Install dependencies npm install
4. Setup config file: run mv config-example.json config.json. Update the site and port properties as necessary.
5. Start by running npm run crawl to crawl the site you added in the last step. This will create the json 'database' (used as the data for the react front-end). Depending on the size of the site, the crawler may take some time so check your email and get coffee. A progress bar will indicate how far along the crawler is.
