Append published_at data to solidjs.com Resources

This repo contains simple Deno scripts to append published_at value to solidjs.com resources.

Directions

1. Clone and cd into this repo
2. Copy the following resource data files from solidjs/solid-site/src/pages/Resources/ to input/
   • Articles.data.ts
   • Podcasts.data.ts
   • Videos.data.ts
3. Run deno run --allow-net --allow-read --allow-write main.ts
   • Updated source files will be created in output/

Limitations

The current setup assumes that the way publisehd date information for each resource is encoded in the fetched HTML follows certain patterns. See the switch statement in utils.ts > parseDatePublished() for these patterns. If this assumption is not met, the published_at value will be set to undefined.

The current setup also assumes that each resource data object found in the input source files has the following shape:

• Its last property is for categories
• It has no published_at value

If these assumptions are not met, incorrect published date values will potentially be added to resource data.
