fetch-cheerio-object

library1.3.0jsnpmunverified

A Node.js module to fetch an HTML page via HTTP and parse it into a cheerio object. It uses node-fetch under the hood for fetching and cheerio for DOM parsing, returning a Promise that resolves to a cheerio instance. The API is simple: pass a URL and optional cheerio.load options. Version 1.3.0 is current. This package is a thin wrapper combining fetch and parse steps, useful for scraping and testing. However, it is unmaintained since 2018 and has known vulnerabilities due to outdated dependencies (node-fetch < 3). Consider using higher-level scraping libraries like got-scraping or axios + cheerio directly for better control and security.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ const fetchCheerioObject = require('fetch-cheerio-object');

✗ import fetchCheerioObject from 'fetch-cheerio-object';

Package is CommonJS-only, does not support ES modules.

fetchCheerioObject

✓ import fetchCheerioObject from 'fetch-cheerio-object';

ESM import works with bundlers but may fail in pure ESM Node (package has no 'exports' field).

default export

✓ const { default: fetchCheerioObject } = await import('fetch-cheerio-object');

Dynamic import returns a module with default property in CJS interop.

Fetches and parses HTML from a URL, then extracts the title using cheerio.

const fetchCheerioObject = require('fetch-cheerio-object'); (async () => { const $ = await fetchCheerioObject('https://example.com/'); console.log($('title').text()); // Outputs: Example Domain })();

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained since 2018. Dependency node-fetch v2 has known vulnerabilities and is end-of-life.

fix

Migrate to a maintained alternative like got-scraping or axios + cheerio directly.

affects: *

breakingDoes not support ESM imports natively. Attempting 'import fetchCheerioObject from ...' may fail in Node >=12 with type: module.

fix

Use require() or wrap dynamic import with .default.

affects: *

gotchaThe returned cheerio object uses the default pseudo-html parser, not the full HTML parser. Malformed HTML may produce unexpected results.

fix

Pass cheerio options like { xmlMode: true } if needed.

affects: *

gotchaOnly works in Node.js environment; not browser-compatible out of the box.

fix

Use isomorphic cheerio with fetch in browser.

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: fetchCheerioObject is not a function

Using ESM import on a CJS-only module without correct interop.

fix

Use `const fetchCheerioObject = require('fetch-cheerio-object');` or `(await import('...')).default`.

Error: Cannot find module 'node-fetch'

Missing peer dependency node-fetch (or incompatible version).

fix

Install node-fetch@2: `npm install node-fetch@2`.

Error: Cannot find module 'cheerio'

Missing peer dependency cheerio.

fix

Install cheerio: `npm install cheerio`.
