So, I am kinda at a lost why I am getting this back, is it because I am bringing the information back as text? I figured regardless it should still be able to go into the p tag.
previous to having the "function map() { [native code] }" return on the websites html, I had [Object, Object] . . . returning to the HTML
index.html :
<body>
<p id="results">${results.map}</p>
<h1>demo</h1>
</body>
Index Route:
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
scrapper().then(results => {
console.log("results are ", results);
res.render('index', {locals: { results }})
});
});
And then here is the scrapper:
debug = require ('../models/conn');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const axios = require('axios');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
async function searchJobs(i) {
const url = await axios.get('actual url')
// return fetch(`${url}${i}`)
.then(response => response)
.then(res => {
const jobs = [];
const $ = cheerio.load(res.data);
$('.result').each((index, element) => {
const title = $(element).children('.title').text();
const linkToJob = $(element).children('.title').children('a').attr('href')
const body = $(element).children('.summary').text();
jobs[index] = { title, linkToJob, body };
});
console.log(jobs);
return jobs;
// Prints tbe second child of results class results for that page in console.
// console.log($('.result').children().eq(1).text());
});
return url;
};
module.exports = searchJobs;
So I have all the information console.loging that I want I am just trying to get it to display on the front-end of the page..
Would love some more help, still new to programming.. only been programming for real for about 3 months now..
You are trying to use the map method over the results object.
If you iterate over it with the map method, you could do something like this...
<body>
{results.map(result => { return <p>{result}</p> })}
</body>
This is going to basically create a <p> tag for every result in your results object
