superagent-cheerio is a small plugin that connects together SuperAgent and cheerio.

It came from using SuperTest for testing, and wanting easy access to cheerio for testing html/xml responses.

Installation

SuperAgent and cheerio are peer dependencies, you need to add them yourself.

$ npm install superagent cheerio superagent-cheerio

Usage for a single request

const request = require('superagent')
const superagentCheerio = require('superagent-cheerio')
const res = await request.get('https://www.google.co.uk').use(superagentCheerio())
console.log(res.$('h1').text())

// or promises

request.get('https://www.google.co.uk')
  .use(superagentCheerio())
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res.$('h1').text())
  })

Usage for lots of requests

const request = require('superagent')
const superagentCheerio = require('superagent-cheerio')
const agent = request.agent().use(superagentCheerio())
const res = await agent.get('https://www.google.co.uk')
console.log(res.$('h1').text())

// or promises

agent.get('https://www.google.co.uk').then(res => {
    console.log(res.$('h1').text())
})

Usage with cheerio load method options

const request = require('superagent')
const superagentCheerio = require('superagent-cheerio')
const res = await request.get('https://www.google.co.uk').use(superagentCheerio({ xmlMode: true }))
console.log(res.$('h1').text())
