# libwebnovel

This crate deals with webnovels. You can see it as a way to access different
webnovel hosting sites and be able to get their contents.

### Example
Say you want to create a software that will generate epubs from a given
fiction url. This could be expressed by something like the following:

```rust
use libwebnovel::{Backend, Backends, Chapter};

fn main() {
    // Get the backend matching the given URL
    let fiction_backend = Backends::new("https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21220/mother-of-learning").unwrap();
    // Get all the chapters of the webnovel
    let chapters = fiction_backend.get_chapters().unwrap();

    // write the resulting epub
    let epub_path = format!("{}.epub", fiction_backend.title().unwrap());
    let mut f = File::create(&epub_path).unwrap();
    write_chapters_to_epub(&mut f, &chapters).unwrap();

    // Since this code example also serves as sortof an integration test, remove the created file :p
    std::fs::remove_file(epub_path).unwrap();
}

fn write_chapters_to_epub(writer: &impl Write, chapters: &[Chapter]) -> Result<(), io::Error> {
    // do stuff to create the ebook here
    Ok(())
}
```

### TODO

- [ ] Find a way to handle something other than content:
  - [ ] images
  - [ ] tables
  - [ ] chapter headers ?
  - [ ] chapter footers ?
- [ ] Add more backends, such as libread.
- [ ] create a binary
