| // /functions/countclicks.js - A Netlify function to count outbound link clicks | |
| // Using a Firebase Firestore Database to store the click counts. | |
| // | |
| // The Firestore database has a collection called posts. In each post document | |
| // there is a recordID (same as the Airtable recordID). Each record also has a | |
| // count that will be incremented by 1 on each invocation of this function. | |
| // | |
| // Two query parameters are passed to this function: | |
| // 1. itemid - the recordID of the post (required) | |
| // 2. itemlink - the link to the post (for my viewing pleasure) |

| // Read from an OPML file and write to a JSON file, processing the OPML file | |
| // and producing the following for each of the feed items in the file: | |
| // name: title of the feed (from the title attribute) | |
| // url: URL of the feed (from the htmlUrl attribute) | |
| // feed: URL of the feed (from the xmlUrl attribute) | |
| // feedtype: type of feed (from the type attribute) | |

| // NOTE: This only extracts feeds from the "CSS" and "Eleventy" outlines. | |
| // Remove that test if you wish to extract all of the feeds. | |

| // getDescription - given a url, this Eleventy filter extracts the meta | |
| // description from within the <head> element of a web page using the cheerio | |
| // library. | |
| // | |
| // The full html content of the page is fetched using the eleventy-fetch plugin. | |
| // If you have a lot of links from which you want to extract descriptions, the | |
| // initial build time will be slow. However, the plugin will cache the content | |
| // for a duration of your choosing (in this example, it's set to 1 day). | |
| // | |
| // The description is extracted from the <meta> element with the name attribute |
