What's Changed

Major Changes

• 563bfc4: Update dictionary selectors with accurate definitions (@typicalninja in fix(gsr): Patch dictionary selectors + fix gsr dictionary results #28)

  This uses the updated dictionary definitions from google-sr-selectors as a response to google updating their result structure.

  Previously, dictionary definitions were returned as a [string, string]. Now, they are returned as an object with the following properties:

  interface DictionaryDefinition {
    partOfSpeech: string;
    definition: string;
    example: string;
    synonyms: string[];
  }

  Please take steps to update your code to use the new dictionary definition structure.

• c332095: Rewrite the api to be customizable (@typicalninja in v4 base rewrite #15/chore: add changeset for rewrite #32)

  google-sr has been completely rewritten to be more customizable. It is possible to create your own selector functions and use them to scrape the data you want.

  filterResults option was replaced by resultTypes which accepts a function instead of a string. This allows you to add your own custom selectors to be used as a parser.

  search({
  -      filterResults: [ResultTypes.SearchResult]
  +      resultTypes: []
  })

Minor Changes

• 5676a7a: Support custom selectors (@typicalninja in refactor: add support for custom selectors #33)

  Use the new ResultNodeTyper to create a custom node, and use the ResultSelector to create a function that will parse the raw html for results and return a node.

  import { ResultNodeTyper, ResultSelector } from "google-sr";
  // first argument is the "type" value (string) of the node, second is all the properties of the node
  type DidYouKnow = ResultNodeTyper<
    "SOMETYPE",
    "prop1" | "prop2"
  > & // properties that are not string can be defined as this
  { descriptions: string[] };
  const selector: ResultSelector<DidYouKnow> = ($, strictSelector) => {
    // return node
  };
  
  search({ resultTypes: [selector] });

• d98c496: Remove uneeded top level options (@typicalninja in chore: remove uneeded toplevel options #37)

  Removed the safemode top-level options as the same result can be achieved using the requestConfig option.

  const queryResult = await search({
  -    safemode: true,
      // requestConfig is of type AxiosRequestConfig
  +    requestConfig: {
  +		params: {
  +            // enable "safe mode"
  +			safe: 'active'
  +		},
  +	},
  });
