Sadghuru quotes from my puppeteer api
Published: 2022-09-15 13:16:01


I have made a simple web app that finds and shows and enabling you to print a random Sadghuru quote from [goodreads.com](url) with Node.js, Express, Puppeteer and Vue.js. App includes some basic CSS animations also print-friendly. I don't know very well Sadghuru but I see he is a wise person. I love to read his quotes.

**Here is my server (Index.js) (Packages: dotenv, cors, express, puppeteer)**

```javascript
require('dotenv').config();

// in .env file (PORT=5000)
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

const express = require('express');
const cors = require('cors');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

const app = express();

app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());

app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    const rndPage = Math.floor(Math.random() * 26) + 1;
    await page.goto(`https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/30378.Sadhguru?page=${rndPage}`);

    const quotes = await page.$$('.quoteText');
    const rndQuote = Math.floor(Math.random() * (quotes.length - 1)) + 1;
    const quote = await quotes.find((el, index) => index === rndQuote).evaluate(el => el.innerText);

    await browser.close();

    return res.json({ quote });
});

app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${PORT}`));
```

`const browser = await puppeteer.launch();`
Try this launch({ headless: false }); and browser will show.

There are 26 pages for Sadghuru quotes. page parameter can be random 1 to 26. goodreads.com/author/quotes/30378.Sadhguru?..{rndPage}

```javascript
// Get all quote div elements.
const quotes = await page.$$('.quoteText');
// Random number 1-26
const rndQuote = Math.floor(Math.random() * (quotes.length - 1)) + 1;
// Find a random quote from all quotes in the random page then grab text in the div.
const quote = await quotes.find((el, index) => index === rndQuote).evaluate(el => el.innerText);
```

Then we close puppeteer browser. **(await browser.close())** Then we send the quote as json. **(res.json({quote})**)

## And Frontend

**App.vue**

```javascript
<template>
  <div id="app">
    <h1 class="header-text">Sadghuru Quotes</h1>
    <QuoteCard :quote="quote" :loadingAnim="loading" @onclick="findQuote()" />
    <button @click="printQuote()" id="printBtn"><span class="material-icons">print</span></button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import axios from 'axios';
import QuoteCard from './components/QuoteCard.vue';

export default {
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    QuoteCard
  },
  data() {
    return {
      quote: null,
      loading: true,
    }
  },
  mounted() {
    this.fetchQuote();
  },
  methods: {
    async fetchQuote() {
      this.loading = true;
      const result = await axios.get('http://localhost:5000/');
      this.quote = result.data.quote;
      this.loading = false;
    },
    findQuote: function() {
      if (!this.loading) this.fetchQuote();
    },
    printQuote() {
      window.print();
    }
  }
}
</script>

<style>
.header-text {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 2rem 0 2rem 0;

@keyframes printbtnanim {
  0% {
    transform: scale(1);
  }
  50% {
    transform: scale(1.2);
  }
  100% {

@media print {
