referer-parser Go library

This is the Go implementation of referer-parser, the library for extracting search marketing data from referer (sic) URLs.

The implementation uses the shared 'database' of known referers found in referers.yml.

This is forked version of referer-parser.

Installation

$ go get github.com/Promignis/referer-parser

Usage

package main

import (
  "log"

  "github.com/Promignis/referer-parser"
)

func main() {
  referer_url := "http://www.google.com/search?q=gateway+oracle+cards+denise+linn&hl=en&client=safari"
  r := refererparser.Parse(referer_url)

  log.Printf("Known:%v", r.Known)
  log.Printf("Referer:%v", r.Referer)
  log.Printf("Medium:%v", r.Medium)
  log.Printf("Search parameter:%v", r.SearchParameter)
  log.Printf("Search term:%v", r.SearchTerm)
  log.Printf("Host:%v", r.URI)
}

referers.yml embed

The referers.json is embedded in the package using go-bindata.

$ go-bindata -ignore=\\.yml -pkg refererparser data/...

Functions

func Asset

func Asset(name string) ([]byte, error)

Asset loads and returns the asset for the given name. It returns an error if the asset could not be found or could not be loaded.

func AssetDir

func AssetDir(name string) ([]string, error)

AssetDir returns the file names below a certain directory embedded in the file by go-bindata. For example if you run go-bindata on data/... and data contains the following hierarchy:

data/
  foo.txt
  img/
    a.png
    b.png

then AssetDir("data") would return []string{"foo.txt", "img"} AssetDir("data/img") would return []string{"a.png", "b.png"} AssetDir("foo.txt") and AssetDir("notexist") would return an error AssetDir("") will return []string{"data"}.

func AssetInfo

func AssetInfo(name string) (os.FileInfo, error)

AssetInfo loads and returns the asset info for the given name. It returns an error if the asset could not be found or could not be loaded.

func AssetNames

func AssetNames() []string

AssetNames returns the names of the assets.

func MustAsset

func MustAsset(name string) []byte

MustAsset is like Asset but panics when Asset would return an error. It simplifies safe initialization of global variables.

func RestoreAsset

func RestoreAsset(dir, name string) error

RestoreAsset restores an asset under the given directory

func RestoreAssets

func RestoreAssets(dir, name string) error

RestoreAssets restores an asset under the given directory recursively

Types

type RefererResult

type RefererResult struct {
	Known           bool
	Referer         string
	Medium          string
	SearchParameter string
	SearchTerm      string
	URI             *url.URL
}

RefererResult holds the extracted data

func Parse

func Parse(uri string) (refResult *RefererResult)

Parse an url and extract referer, it returns a RefererResult.

func (*RefererResult) MarshalZerologObject

func (r *RefererResult) MarshalZerologObject(e *zerolog.Event)

func (*RefererResult) SetCurrent

func (ref *RefererResult) SetCurrent(curl string)

SetCurrent is used to set the "internal" medium if needed.
