ExplorableSiteTree

A site that exposes its keys so it can be traversed

JSON Keys protocol support

If you use ExplorableSiteTree to wrap a site that supports the JSON Keys protocol, the ExplorableSiteTree instance will be able to programmatically return the keys at a given route. See that protocol for more details.

For example, you can use the ori CLI to display the keys of a given site route using the custom explore: protocol, which returns an ExplorableSiteTree.

$ ori keys explore://weborigami.org/samples/greetings/
- Alice
- Bob
- Carol

You can also use ori to display the complete contents of all pages at a given route:

$ ori explore://weborigami.org/samples/greetings/
Alice: Hello, Alice.
Bob: Hello, Bob.
Carol: Hello, Carol.

Above, the custom explore: protocol retrieves the route’s keys defined in the .keys.json, then makes separate requests for each of those pages.

ExplorableSiteTree class

A SiteTree that implements the JSON Keys protocol. This enables a keys() method that can return the keys of a site route even though such a mechanism is not built into the HTTP protocol.

ExplorableSiteTree() constructor

async keys()

Returns: Promise>

Returns the keys of the site route. For this to work, the route must have a .keys.json file that contains a JSON array of string keys.
