Multi-Page Application Archive

Crawls a Multi-Page Application into a zip file. Serve the Multi-Page Application from the zip file. A MPA archiver. Could be used as a Site Generator.

Installation

npm install -g mpa-archive

Usage

Crawling

mpa http://example.net

Will crawl the url recursively and save it in example.net.zip. Once done, it will display a report and can serve the files from the zip.

SPA mode

The original idea is to save the HTML generated by JavaScript, to allow search engines index the content of a website that uses JavaScript. This has the undesired result that some applications, specially SPA may not work. To save the original HTML instead of the rendered HTML you can use the --spa option, which will save the original HTML and avoid re-writing links.

mpa https://example.net --spa

Serving

mpa

Will create a server for each zip file on the current directory. binds to 0.0.0.0 (it can be opened in localhost) the port is random but seeded to the zip file name, so it remains the same.
