extract/html-table/rollup.config.mjs (2)

1-5: LGTM! The Rollup configuration is correctly set up.

The file structure and implementation look good. It correctly imports the buildConfig function, creates a configuration object, and exports it as the default. This setup aligns with standard Rollup configuration practices and likely integrates well with other Flatfile projects.

For consistency and future extensibility, consider using a named constant for the configuration options:

 import { buildConfig } from '@flatfile/rollup-config';

-const config = buildConfig({});
+const CONFIG_OPTIONS = {};
+const config = buildConfig(CONFIG_OPTIONS);

 export default config;

This approach makes it easier to add or modify configuration options in the future without changing the structure of the file.


1-5: Consider adding testing instructions and documentation for the new plugin.

While the Rollup configuration is correctly set up, there are a few additional considerations for the @flatfile/plugin-extract-html-table plugin:

  1. Testing: The PR objectives mention a need for testing instructions. Consider adding a README.md or TESTING.md file with clear instructions on how to test the HTML table extraction functionality.

  2. Documentation: It would be beneficial to include documentation on how to use this new plugin, perhaps in a README.md file or in the project's main documentation.

  3. Dependencies: Ensure that all necessary dependencies for this plugin are correctly listed in the package.json file.

Would you like assistance in creating templates for testing instructions or usage documentation for this new plugin?

extract/html-table/src/index.ts (4)

4-9: Great interface design, consider adding type for maxDepth.

The HTMLTableExtractorOptions interface is well-structured and provides good flexibility for configuring the extraction process. The property names are clear and self-explanatory.

Consider adding a specific type for maxDepth to prevent potential type-related issues:

 export interface HTMLTableExtractorOptions {
   handleColspan?: boolean
   handleRowspan?: boolean
-  maxDepth?: number
+  maxDepth?: number
   debug?: boolean
 }

11-13: Well-implemented factory function, consider adding return type.

The HTMLTableExtractor function is well-implemented as a factory for creating an HTML table extractor. Good job on using default parameters and leveraging the imported functions.

For improved clarity and type safety, consider adding a return type annotation:

-export const HTMLTableExtractor = (options: HTMLTableExtractorOptions = {}) => {
+export const HTMLTableExtractor = (options: HTMLTableExtractorOptions = {}): Extractor => {
   return Extractor('html', 'html-tables', parseBuffer, options)
 }

15-15: Good export of parser, consider adding type information.

Exporting htmlTableParser as a direct reference to parseBuffer is a good way to provide access to the parsing functionality. The naming is clear and consistent with the module's purpose.

To improve type safety and developer experience, consider adding type information:

-export const htmlTableParser = parseBuffer
+export const htmlTableParser: typeof parseBuffer = parseBuffer

1-15: Overall, excellent implementation of HTML table extractor.

The code is well-structured, focused, and follows good practices. The minor suggestions for improvement are related to type annotations, which would enhance type safety and developer experience.

Great job on implementing this new feature!

As requested in the PR description, I can help with summarizing this PR for the Changelog and provide instructions for testing. Would you like me to draft a Changelog entry and suggest a testing strategy?

extract/html-table/samples/simple_table.html (3)

1-7: LGTM! Consider adding viewport meta tag for responsiveness.

The HTML structure and metadata are well-formed and follow HTML5 standards. The use of UTF-8 charset and a descriptive title are good practices.

For better responsiveness on mobile devices, consider adding a viewport meta tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

8-32: LGTM! Consider enhancing table accessibility and semantic structure.

The table structure is clear and well-organized. The use of <th> elements for the header row is correct.

To improve accessibility and semantic structure, consider the following enhancements:

  1. Add a <caption> element to provide a title for the table.
  2. Use <thead> and <tbody> to group header and body rows.
  3. Add scope attributes to the <th> elements.
  4. Consider adding aria-label attributes to provide more context.

Here's an example of how you could refactor the table:

<table aria-label="Employee Information Table">
    <caption>Employee Information</caption>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col">Name</th>
            <th scope="col">Position</th>
            <th scope="col">Department</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>John Doe</td>
            <td>Software Engineer</td>
            <td>IT</td>
        </tr>
        <!-- ... other rows ... -->
    </tbody>
</table>

These changes will improve screen reader compatibility and overall accessibility of the table.


1-32: Consider adding more complex table samples.

This simple table provides a good starting point for testing the HTML table extractor plugin. However, to ensure comprehensive testing, consider adding more samples that demonstrate:

  1. Tables with colspan and rowspan attributes
  2. Nested tables
  3. Tables with merged cells
  4. Tables with varying number of columns per row
  5. Tables with header cells (<th>) in both rows and columns

These additional samples would help ensure that the extractor can handle a wide range of table structures commonly found in HTML documents.

extract/html-table/samples/complex_table.html (1)

8-9: LGTM: Clear structure with a minor styling suggestion.

The body content is well-structured with a clear header and table element. The table border attribute is used for visual clarity, which is fine for this sample file.

For production code, consider using CSS for styling instead of the HTML border attribute. This separation of concerns improves maintainability and flexibility.

extract/html-table/README.md (3)

23-30: Adjust heading level for consistency and consider adding parameter object name.

The Parameters section provides clear descriptions of the optional parameters. However, there are two minor improvements to consider:

  1. Change the heading level on line 25 from h4 to h3 for consistency with the document structure.
  2. Consider adding the name of the parameter object (e.g., extractorOptions) to provide context for these options.

Here's a suggested change for the heading:

-#### `options` - `object` - (optional)
+### `extractorOptions` - `object` - (optional)

The rest of the content in this section looks good and provides valuable information for users.

25-25: Expected: h3; Actual: h4
Heading levels should only increment by one level at a time

(MD001, heading-increment)


32-35: Consider adding brief descriptions for API calls.

The API Calls section lists the relevant API calls used by the plugin. To enhance user understanding, consider adding brief descriptions of what each API call does in the context of the plugin. For example:

## API Calls

- `api.files.download`: Used to download the HTML file for parsing.
- `api.files.update`: Used to update the file with the extracted table data.

This additional context would help users better understand how the plugin interacts with the Flatfile API.


37-61: Improve heading structure in the Usage section.

The Usage section provides valuable information on how to install, import, and use the plugin. However, the structure can be improved by using proper headings instead of emphasized text. Here's a suggested change:

 ## Usage

-**install**
+### Installation
 ```bash
 npm install @flatfile/plugin-extract-html-table

-import
+### Import

import { HTMLTableExtractor } from '@flatfile/plugin-extract-html-table';

-listener.js
+### Example Usage

const listener = new FlatfileListener();

listener.use(
  HTMLTableExtractor({
    handleColspan: true,
    handleRowspan: true,
    maxDepth: 3,
    debug: false
  })
);

These changes will improve the document structure and make it easier for users to navigate the Usage section.

The content itself is clear and provides a good example of how to use the plugin. Great job on including a practical code snippet!

`1-7`: **Consider enhancing the head section for better accessibility and SEO.**

The basic HTML structure is correct. However, consider the following improvements:

1. Add a meta description tag for better SEO.
2. Include a viewport meta tag for responsive design.
3. Consider adding additional meta tags like author and keywords if relevant.


Example implementation:

```html
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta name="description" content="Sample HTML with multiple tables demonstrating company data structure">
    <title>Multiple Tables Example</title>
</head>

10-27: Enhance the Employee Information table for better accessibility and semantic structure.

The table structure is correct, but consider the following improvements:

  1. Add a <caption> element to provide a title for the table.
  2. Use <thead> and <tbody> to group header and body rows.
  3. Add scope="col" to the <th> elements for better screen reader support.

Example implementation:

<table>
    <caption>Employee Information</caption>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col">Name</th>
            <th scope="col">Position</th>
            <th scope="col">Department</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>John Doe</td>
            <td>Software Engineer</td>
            <td>IT</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Jane Smith</td>
            <td>Marketing Specialist</td>
            <td>Marketing</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

1-78: Enhance the overall document structure for better semantics and context.

The current structure logically separates the two main sections. Consider the following improvements:

  1. Wrap the main content in a <main> tag for better document outline.
  2. Use <section> tags to group related content.
  3. Add a brief introductory paragraph to provide context for the sample data.
  4. Consider adding a <footer> with relevant information about the sample.

Example implementation:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <!-- ... (head content as suggested earlier) ... -->
</head>
<body>
    <main>
        <h1>Company Data</h1>
        <p>This sample demonstrates various table structures for representing company data.</p>

        <section>
            <h2>Employee Information</h2>
            <!-- Employee Information table (as suggested earlier) -->
        </section>

        <section>
            <h2>Department Budget</h2>
            <!-- Department Budget table (as suggested earlier) -->
        </section>
    </main>
    <footer>
        <p>This is a sample HTML file for demonstrating table extraction capabilities.</p>
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

These changes improve the semantic structure of the document and provide more context for the sample data.

65-67: Remove unnecessary debug logging of large content

Logging the entire content in debug mode can clutter the console and impact performance, especially with large HTML files.

Consider removing or summarizing this debug statement:

-    console.log('Content to parse:', content)
+    console.log('Content length:', content.length)

This provides useful information without overwhelming the debug output.

5-5: Simplification of extractor configuration

The changes have significantly simplified the listener configuration by using only the HTMLTableExtractor. This is in line with the PR objective of introducing HTML table extraction functionality.

However, there are a few points to consider:

  1. The removal of other extractors (ExcelExtractor, DelimiterExtractor) might impact existing functionality. Ensure that this change is intentional and doesn't break any existing features.

  2. The automap functionality and error handling have been removed. Verify if these are now handled internally by the HTMLTableExtractor or if they need to be reimplemented.

  3. The configuration is now less flexible as it doesn't allow for different extractors based on file types or other conditions. Confirm if this level of simplification meets all use cases.

To ensure that the HTMLTableExtractor is properly configured and no critical functionality has been lost, run the following script:

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Check HTMLTableExtractor configuration and usage

# Test 1: Verify HTMLTableExtractor import and usage
if ! rg --type typescript -q "import.*HTMLTableExtractor.*from '@flatfile/plugin-extract-html-table'" flatfilers/sandbox/src/index.ts; then
  echo "HTMLTableExtractor import not found"
fi

if ! rg --type typescript -q "listener\.use\(HTMLTableExtractor\(\)\)" flatfilers/sandbox/src/index.ts; then
  echo "HTMLTableExtractor not used in listener configuration"
fi

# Test 2: Check for any remaining references to removed extractors
if rg --type typescript -q "ExcelExtractor|DelimiterExtractor" flatfilers/sandbox/src/index.ts; then
  echo "Found references to removed extractors"
fi

# Test 3: Look for any error handling or automap functionality
if rg --type typescript -q "automap|try.*catch" flatfilers/sandbox/src/index.ts; then
  echo "Found potential error handling or automap functionality"
fi

Consider documenting the rationale behind this simplification and any potential limitations it might introduce. This will help future maintainers understand the design decisions made here.


1-2: Verify the removal of unused imports

The changes look good. However, it seems that some imports might have been removed along with the deleted extractors. To ensure code cleanliness:

Run the following script to check for any unused imports that might have been left behind:

If any unused imports are found, please remove them to keep the code clean and maintainable.

✅ Verification successful

No Unused Imports Found

Unused imports have been successfully removed from flatfilers/sandbox/src/index.ts.

The current implementation extracts headers by selecting all <th> elements. In tables with complex headers—such as those with multiple header rows, nested headers, or headers utilizing colspan and rowspan—this method may not accurately capture the intended header structure.

Consider verifying how the header extraction handles complex table structures. You might need to enhance the implementation to properly parse multi-level headers and associate them correctly with the data columns.


112-115: ⚠️ Potential issue

Verify correct processing of rowspan in handleRowspan function

The handleRowspan function attempts to handle cells with rowspan by parsing the cell content as HTML to access attributes. However, since the cell content is plain text, parsing it won't retrieve the original rowspan attributes.

Consider refactoring the code to:

  • Store the original HTML elements or their attributes when initially parsing the table.
  • Pass these elements or relevant metadata to the handleRowspan function.
  • Avoid re-parsing cell content, which may not contain the necessary attributes.

Ensure that cells with rowspan are correctly processed and that the table structure is accurately maintained.

4-9: LGTM: Well-defined interface. Consider adding JSDoc comments.

The HTMLTableExtractorOptions interface is well-structured with appropriate optional properties. To enhance code readability and maintainability, consider adding JSDoc comments to describe the purpose of each option.

Here's an example of how you could add JSDoc comments:

/**
 * Configuration options for the HTML table extractor.
 */
export interface HTMLTableExtractorOptions {
  /** Whether to handle colspan attributes in table cells. */
  handleColspan?: boolean;
  /** Whether to handle rowspan attributes in table cells. */
  handleRowspan?: boolean;
  /** Maximum depth for nested table parsing. */
  maxDepth?: number;
  /** Enable debug mode for additional logging. */
  debug?: boolean;
}

11-13: LGTM: Well-implemented wrapper function. Consider using object destructuring.

The HTMLTableExtractor function is a well-designed wrapper around the Extractor. It's concise and follows the single responsibility principle. To further improve readability, consider using object destructuring for the options parameter.

Here's a suggested improvement:

export const HTMLTableExtractor = ({
  handleColspan,
  handleRowspan,
  maxDepth,
  debug
}: HTMLTableExtractorOptions = {}) => {
  return Extractor('html', 'html-tables', parseBuffer, {
    handleColspan,
    handleRowspan,
    maxDepth,
    debug
  })
}

This change makes it clearer which options are being passed to the Extractor function.


15-15: LGTM: Good alias export. Consider adding a type annotation.

The export of htmlTableParser as an alias for parseBuffer is a good practice, providing a more descriptive name for the functionality. To improve type safety and documentation, consider adding a type annotation to this export.

Here's a suggested improvement:

export const htmlTableParser: typeof parseBuffer = parseBuffer;

This change explicitly declares that htmlTableParser has the same type as parseBuffer, which can help with type inference in consuming code.

23-30: Adjust heading level for consistency and clarity.

The Parameters section provides clear and detailed information about the options object and its properties. However, to maintain consistent document structure:

Please update the heading level on line 25:

-#### `options` - `object` - (optional)
+### `options` - `object` - (optional)

This change will improve the document's hierarchy and readability.

32-35: Consider expanding the API Calls section with more details.

While the API Calls section lists the relevant methods, it could be more informative. To enhance user understanding:

Consider adding brief descriptions or examples of how these API calls are used in the context of the HTML table extractor. For example:

## API Calls

- `api.files.download`: Used to download the HTML file for parsing.
- `api.files.update`: Used to update the file status after extraction is complete.

Example:
```javascript
const file = await api.files.download(fileId);
// ... extraction logic ...
await api.files.update(fileId, { status: 'completed' });

This addition would provide users with a clearer understanding of how these API calls integrate with the plugin's functionality.

`37-61`: **Improve section structure for better readability.**

The Usage section provides clear instructions for installing, importing, and using the plugin. However, to improve consistency and adhere to Markdown best practices:


1. Replace bold text with proper Markdown headings for subsections:

```diff
-**install**
+### Install
-**import**
+### Import
-**listener.js**
+### Listener Configuration
  1. Consider adding a brief explanation before the listener configuration example to provide context.

These changes will enhance the document's structure and readability while maintaining the valuable content you've provided.

1-7: Enhance HTML metadata for improved responsiveness and accessibility.

While the basic HTML structure is correct, consider the following enhancements:

  1. Add a viewport meta tag for better responsiveness on mobile devices.
  2. Include a meta description for improved SEO.
  3. Consider adding additional meta tags for social media sharing (Open Graph, Twitter Cards).

Here's an example of how to implement these suggestions:

 <head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
+    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
+    <meta name="description" content="Company data including employee information and department budgets">
     <title>Multiple Tables Example</title>
 </head>

8-27: Improve "Employee Information" table accessibility and semantics.

The table structure is correct, but it can be enhanced for better accessibility and semantic meaning. Consider the following improvements:

  1. Add a <caption> element to provide a title for the table.
  2. Use scope attributes on <th> elements to explicitly associate headers with their respective rows or columns.
  3. Wrap the table header in a <thead> element and the body in a <tbody> element for better structure.

Here's an example of how to implement these suggestions:

 <h2>Employee Information</h2>
 <table>
+    <caption>Employee Details</caption>
+    <thead>
         <tr>
-            <th>Name</th>
-            <th>Position</th>

29-76: Restructure the "Department Budget" table for improved accessibility and responsiveness.

I agree with the previous review comment suggesting alternative structures for the Department Budget table. The current nested table structure, while effective for representing hierarchical data, may indeed pose challenges for screen readers and mobile devices.

To expand on the previous suggestions:

  1. Using a single table with grouped rows (as demonstrated in the previous comment) is an excellent solution that maintains the data hierarchy while improving accessibility.
  2. If you prefer to keep the current structure, consider the following additional improvements:
    a. Add ARIA attributes to enhance the relationship between the main table and nested tables.
    b. Use CSS for responsive design, ensuring the table is readable on mobile devices.
    c. Implement a summary or caption for each nested table to provide context.

Here's an example of how to implement these suggestions while keeping the current structure:

<table aria-label="Department Budget Overview">
    <caption>Department Budget Breakdown</caption>
    <tr>
        <th scope="col">Department</th>
        <th scope="col">Budget</th>
        <th scope="col">Expenses</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <th scope="row">IT</th>
        <td>$500,000</td>
        <td>
            <table aria-label="IT Department Expenses" summary="Breakdown of IT department expenses">
                <caption>IT Expenses</caption>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="col">Category</th>
                    <th scope="col">Amount</th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row">Hardware</th>
                    <td>$200,000</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row">Software</th>
                    <td>$150,000</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <!-- Similar structure for Marketing department -->
</table>

Remember to add appropriate CSS for responsiveness, such as horizontal scrolling or stacking on smaller screens.

19-22: ⚠️ Potential issue

Add error handling for empty or invalid HTML content

Currently, if the buffer is empty or contains invalid HTML, the parseBuffer function may throw unhandled exceptions.

Consider adding error handling to manage such scenarios gracefully:

       const content = buffer.toString('utf-8')
+      if (!content.trim()) {
+        throw new Error('The provided HTML content is empty.')
+      }
+      if (!parse(content).querySelector('table')) {
+        throw new Error('No tables found in the provided HTML content.')
+      }
       const tables = extractTablesFromHTML(content, options)

This ensures that users receive meaningful error messages when the input is not as expected.

Likely invalid or redundant comment.


31-38: ⚠️ Potential issue

Consider handling extra cells to prevent data loss

Currently, if a row has more cells than there are headers, the extra cells are ignored. This can lead to potential data loss.

Consider modifying the code to handle extra cells by assigning default header names to them:

           if (cellIndex < table.headers.length) {
             record[table.headers[cellIndex]] = { value: cell }
-          } else if (options.debug) {
-            console.warn(
-              `Row ${index + 1} has more cells than headers. Ignoring extra cell:`,
-              cell
-            )
+          } else {
+            const columnName = `Column_${cellIndex + 1}`
+            record[columnName] = { value: cell }
+            if (options.debug) {
+              console.warn(
+                `Added default header for extra cell in Row ${index + 1}:`,
+                columnName
+              )
+            }
           }

This ensures all data is captured and prevents potential data loss.

Likely invalid or redundant comment.


78-80: ⚠️ Potential issue

Handle headers defined in first row when <th> elements are absent

Some HTML tables use <td> elements in the first row as headers instead of <th> elements. The current implementation might fail to extract headers in such cases.

Consider modifying the header extraction logic to fall back to the first row's cells when <th> elements are not present:

       // Extract headers
-      table.querySelectorAll('th').forEach((header) => {
-        headers.push(header.text.trim())
-      })
+      const headerElements = table.querySelectorAll('th')
+      if (headerElements.length === 0) {
+        // Use first row's cells as headers if no <th> elements are found
+        const firstRow = table.querySelector('tr')
+        if (firstRow) {
+          firstRow.querySelectorAll('td, th').forEach((cell) => {
+            headers.push(cell.text.trim())
+          })
+        }
+      } else {
+        headerElements.forEach((header) => {
+          headers.push(header.text.trim())
+        })
+      }

This enhances the extractor's robustness across different table structures.

2-2: LGTM: Import statement for HTMLTableExtractor

The import statement for HTMLTableExtractor from '@flatfile/plugin-extract-html-table' is correct and aligns with the PR objective of introducing HTML table extraction functionality.


Line range hint 1-7: Clarify removal of RSS feed functionality

The entire configuration for RSS feed imports and associated actions has been removed. This is a significant change that may impact existing users. Could you please clarify:

  1. Is the removal of RSS feed functionality intentional?
  2. If intentional, how should existing users of this functionality migrate?
  3. If not intentional, should we maintain both RSS feed and HTML table extraction capabilities?

To assess the impact of this change, let's search for usage of the removed functionality:

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Search for usage of removed RSS feed functionality

# Search for imports of removed functionality
rg --type typescript 'import.*@flatfile/plugin-markdown-extractor'

# Search for usage of rssImport or configureSpace
rg --type typescript 'rssImport|configureSpace'

5-5: Verify HTMLTableExtractor configuration

The listener configuration using HTMLTableExtractor is correct and consistent with the PR objective. However, please verify if any additional configuration options are required for the HTMLTableExtractor to function optimally.

To ensure proper usage of HTMLTableExtractor, let's check its documentation or implementation:

extract/html-table/README.md (2)

1-22: LGTM: Clear and informative introduction and features section

1-9: LGTM: Imports and interface definition look good.

The imports are appropriate for the functionality being implemented, and the HTMLTableExtractorOptions interface provides a good set of configuration options for the HTML table extractor.


15-17: LGTM: Comprehensive debug logging

The implementation of debug logging throughout the file is thorough and well-placed. It provides useful information about the parsing and extraction process, which will be helpful for troubleshooting and understanding the code's behavior during development and debugging sessions.

Also applies to: 44-49, 51-53, 65-67, 73-75, 82-84, 102-104, 119-121, 124-126


1-154: Overall assessment: Solid implementation with room for improvements

The parser.ts file provides a comprehensive implementation of HTML table extraction functionality. It handles various aspects of table parsing, including colspan and rowspan attributes, and includes thorough debug logging. The code is well-structured and modular.

Several improvements have been suggested in previous comments, including:

  1. Handling of extra cells in rows
  2. Error handling for empty or invalid HTML content
  3. Improved handling of nested tables
  4. Handling headers when <th> elements are absent
  5. Enhanced colspan handling for better data alignment
  6. Minor optimization using optional chaining

Implementing these suggestions will further enhance the robustness and reliability of the HTML table extractor. Overall, this is a solid foundation for the feature, and with the proposed improvements, it will be well-equipped to handle various HTML table structures effectively.

78-80: ⚠️ Potential issue

Handle headers defined in first row when <th> elements are absent

Some HTML tables use <td> elements in the first row as headers instead of <th> elements. The current implementation might fail to extract headers in such cases.

Consider modifying the header extraction logic to fall back to the first row's cells when <th> elements are not present:

       // Extract headers
-      table.querySelectorAll('th').forEach((header) => {
-        headers.push(header.text.trim())
-      })
+      const headerElements = table.querySelectorAll('th')
+      if (headerElements.length === 0) {
+        // Use first row's cells as headers if no <th> elements are found
+        const firstRow = table.querySelector('tr')
+        if (firstRow) {
+          firstRow.querySelectorAll('td, th').forEach((cell) => {
+            headers.push(cell.text.trim())
+          })
+        }
+      } else {
+        headerElements.forEach((header) => {
+          headers.push(header.text.trim())
+        })
+      }

This enhances the extractor's robustness across different table structures.
