GEEK MS NODE NOTIFIER

GeekMs node notifier is a project developed with Node using javascript ES6

The program queries the geek ms blog site and show a popup notification whenever a new post has been added.

UPDATE: Rss has been added to Geeks blogs and a new client for XML has been added to notifier.

To swap parsers (HTML or XML) use the config file:

module.exports = {    
    DEFAULT_TOAST_TITLE : "GeeksMs Notifier",
    POST_STORE_PATH : "c:\\temp",
    POST_STORE_FILE : "poststore.json",
    CRAWL_INTERVAL : 300000,
    DIRECTORY_PERMISION: "0744",
    CLIENT: "xmlClient" // xmlClient for RSS parser and htmlClient for html parser
}

Current Clients:

  htmlClient : {
            parser: "GeekParser",
            url: "http://geeks.ms/blogs"
        },
        xmlClient: {
            parser: "GeekRSSParser",
            url: "http://geeks.ms/rss/mainfeed"
        }

Crawling interval, temporal store path and file can be configured in config/appConfig.js settings.
