robots_txt 2.0.1

A complete, dependency-less and fully documented `robots.txt` ruleset parser.

A complete, dependency-less and fully documented robots.txt ruleset parser.

Usage

The following code gets the robots.txt robot exclusion ruleset of a website.

// Get the contents of the `robots.txt` file.
final contents = /* Your method of obtaining the contents of a `robots.txt` file. */;
// Parse the contents.
final robots = Robots.parse(contents);

Now that the robots.txt file has been read, we can verify whether we can visit a certain path or not:

final userAgent = /* Your user agent. */;
// False: it cannot.
print(robots.verifyCanAccess('/gist/', userAgent: userAgent));
// True: it can.
print(robots.verifyCanAccess('/wordcollector/robots_txt', userAgent: userAgent));
