# Furlex
Furlex is a [structured data](https://moz.com/learn/seo/schema-structured-data) extraction tool written in Elixir.
It currently supports unfurling oEmbed, Twitter Card, Facebook Open Graph, JSON-LD
and plain ole' HTML `<meta />` data out of any url you supply.
## Installation
Add `:furlex` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:furlex, "~> 0.5.0"}]
end
```
Then run `$ mix deps.get`. Also add `:furlex` to your applications list:
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:furlex]]
end
```
[Jason](http://github.com/michalmuskala/jason) is the default json library in Furlex. You can however configure Furlex to use another library. For example:
```elixir
config :furlex, :json_library, YourLibraryOfChoice
```
## Usage
To unfurl a url, simply pass it to `Furlex.unfurl/1`
```elixir
iex(1)> Furlex.unfurl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh6H7Md_L2k"
{:ok,

## Configuration
Furlex accepts a few optional configuration parameters.
You may configure additional tags to capture under the Facebook
OpenGraph and TwitterCard parsers.
```elixir
config :furlex, Furlex.Parser.Facebook,
tags: ~w(my:custom:facebook:tag another:custom:facebook:tag)
config :furlex, Furlex.Parser.Twitter,
tags: ~w(my:custom:twitter:tag)
```
You may also configure the depth of the resulting Furlex map with a `:group_keys?` boolean.
```elixir
config :furlex, group_keys?: true
```
If this option is set to false or unconfigured, Furlex will return values mapped directly beneath OpenGraph and TwitterCard keys, i.e.
```elixir
%Furlex{twitter: %{
"twitter:app:id:googleplay" => "com.google.android.youtube",
"twitter:app:id:ipad" => "544007664",
"twitter:app:id:iphone" => "544007664"
}}
```
If true, Furlex will return values grouped into colon-delimited map structures, i.e.
```elixir
%Furlex{twitter: %{
"twitter" => %{
"app" => %{
"id" => %{
"googleplay" => "com.google.android.youtube",
"ipad" => "544007664",
"iphone" => "544007664"
}
}
}
}}
```
