check-html-links add an option to ignore certain folders/references about rocket HOT 6 CLOSED

Really like that, thanks for the thorough preleminary work @Mogztter ! I have had the same (but simpler) use case last week when trying to run a website with a javadoc folder. Creates huge amounts of links that will be valid by definition.

I 'll look deeper into this!

we probably need 2 separate flags 🤔

e.g. on pattern to not check links in files that do get checked... and one pattern to not even analyze/check certain files

$ npx check-html-links _site \
  --ignore-link-pattern="/speedify/*" \
  --skip-checking-pattern="./folder-to-ignore/*"

for a lib to parse process.argv... it will probably be command-line-args as it's also used in all the other repos we have... it's probably not perfect with a deps tree of 5... but it's at least knowledge we can reuse across multiple projects

PS: the node API is probably going to change 😅

command-line-args seems like a deal.

Right, I indeed see now that we have two use cases indeed. Interesting. The skip seems rather easy to implement, but I wonder if the skip will not increase the processing complexity? Will have a look at the current implementation

Thanks for your replies!

Should I go forward and implement --ignore-link-pattern using command-line-args?
Any thoughts on the Node API? Should we introduce an "options object" as a second argument of the validateFolder function?

Go for it. I started looking at it yesterday but didn't get on the actual implementation yet.

thanks again for implementing 🙇‍♂️
