NightmareJS: How to block loading resources?

Question

I am making a small scraper with nightmareJS but loading all the external resources takes ages and consumes tons of bandwidth.

How can I only load the basic page html (without images, css etc)?

I couldn't find any relevant information online, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Answer 1

like this :)

const nightmare = Nightmare({
    show: true,
    webPreferences: {
        images: false
    }
});

Answer 2

You can use webRequest.onBeforeRequest in tandem with Nightmare's .action() to filter content.

You might want to check out nightmare-load-filter (disclaimer: I'm the author), I believe that does what you're looking to do.
