        -S, --filename-spaces             Keep spaces in filename (default: replace by underscores)

To download a single fiddle from its id:

  jsfiddle-downloader -i <fiddle-id> [-o <output file>] [-f]

To download a single fiddle from its url:

  jsfiddle-downloader -l <url> [-o <output file>]
  jsfiddle-downloader -l jsfiddle.net/<user>/<fiddle-id>
  jsfiddle-downloader -l jsfiddle.net/<user>/<fiddle-id>/<version>
  jsfiddle-downloader -l https://jsfiddle.net/<fiddle-id>
  jsfiddle-downloader -l https://jsfiddle.net/<fiddle-id>/<version>
  jsfiddle-downloader -l https://jsfiddle.net/<user>/<fiddle-id>/show/ -o myfiddle.html

To download all scripts of a determinated 'user' from jsFiddle.net:

  jsfiddle-downloader -u <user> [-o <output file>]

It'll download all backups in the currrent directory, the jsFiddles scripts will be named by default as:

  [<output-folder>/]<id-fiddle>.html

To save the files using the fiddle's title, provide the parameter -T:

  jsfiddle-downloader -T -u <user> [-o <output file>]

It'll download all backups in the currrent directory, the jsFiddles scripts will be named as:

  [<output-folder>/]<title-fiddle>.html

To avoid running a local server for resolving URIs that doesn't have an URI method defined. Use the -f parameter:

  jsfiddle-downloader -f -i <fiddle-id>
  jsfiddle-downloader -f -l <url>
  jsfiddle-downloader -f -u <user>

This will replace all the http:// in the href of link tags and in the src of script tags.

You can make the filenames more informative with these options:

-T : <fiddle-title>.html (title given to the fiddle to make it public)

-IT: <fiddle-id>_<fiddle-title>.html (combined identifier and title)

-S : Keep spaces in filename (default: replace by underscores)

Tests:

In the project directory jsfiddle-downloader run

mocha test [--keep]

If you run tests with option --keep, the temporary directories containing html files downloaded during tests will be preserved for inspection.

jsfiddle-downloader's Issues

It downloads a 404 from JSFiddle

I tried to download that http://jsfiddle.net/mgmilcher/8R7Xx/sho/

I ran the command jsfiddle-downloader -l http://jsfiddle.net/mgmilcher/8R7Xx/sho/

and it downloads the 404

'Retreive' is a spelling mistake, should be 'Retrieve'

Expected:

~ $ jsfiddle-downloader -v -i 5deked8L
Retrieve chunk
. . .

Actual:

~ $ jsfiddle-downloader -v -i 5deked8L
Retreive chunk
. . .

Note: as I type this comment, even the github spelling checker flags 'retreive' as suspect.
P.S. Thank you for this neat utility.

Save jsfiddle source as separate files

When jsfiddle is downloaded, only the Result is stored in output html file.

But this is not enough to make a backup of a fiddle. Is it possible to save HTML, JS and CSS tabs in separate files for a fiddle?

Add support for other languages

Add support for backing up other languages:

• SCSS
• TypeScript
• Babel
• CoffeeScript

Bug: Can't download an specific version

It seems that if I run...

	jsfiddle-downloader -l https://jsfiddle.net/[auser]/[acode]/10/ -o dlFiddle.html

...jsfiddle-downloader will download whatever version is set to base . It'd be neat to download the version to which the input url points.

Omitting trailing slash in fiddle url leads to 404

I noticed that if I omit the trailing slash in a fiddle url then the file downloaded will be the jsfiddle 404 page. Example:

jsfiddle-downloader -l https://jsfiddle.net/tdreid/w9qg0gwh -o dlFiddle.html
Detected fiddle code = tdreid
Output file = dlFiddle.html

(note that 'detected fiddle code' reports the user not the fiddle)
dlFiddle.html will be...

Incompatible with older fiddles

using a link, fiddle code and/or version all equally fail:

jsfiddle-downloader -l http://jsfiddle.net/uzMPU/1057
jsfiddle-downloader -l http://jsfiddle.net/uzMPU
jsfiddle-downloader -i uzMPU

Result: an html file the says 404 not found.

Links are working on jsfiddle:
