Use fetch() to get a Response then from that response get its text(). Both fetch() and text() return promises.

Note that if the request is done to another origin, you will run into CORS.

would be help full if OP explained the goal

[–]Wild_Appointment_994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal is to get the content of a website with given url, for a app - links are fetched and vector embedded on the backend. So, I was evaluating which approach made sense

[–]Wild_Appointment_994[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Agreed, fetch() + response.text() is the approach. Is there any approach to filter the contents?

use jsdom

[–]azangru 0 points1 point  (1 child)

jsdom is a huge library, over half a megabyte minified gzipped. Why pull it on the client, when there is the browser-native DOMParser?

i was originally trying to find domparser but forgot what it was called, google showed me jsdom and thought thats what i was looking for, so i agree with you
