This is a node.js script that reads host names from input host files and concatenates all host names to a final build file without duplicate entries to be used as a hosts file on a system, intended for blocking network connections, specifically ads on the web.
These are available options that can be passed to the concat JS module.
{
// folder to load hosts files from
scanFrom : "./hosts",
// final output file path
saveTo : "./build/hosts.txt",
// optional file with allowed hostnames
allowHosts : "./allow.txt",
// local IP to resolve to
hostIp : "127.0.0.1",
// ip/host delimeter space
lineSpace : "\t",
// line break
lineBreak : "\n",
}
Once you have a few hosts files, or any text files that contain hosts entries similar to the format of a HOSTS file, place them in the ./hosts folder, then run the script:
npm run concat
Using the contcat module manually.
// import module
var concat = require( "./concat" );
// register error event
concat.on( "error", function( error, options ){ /* ... */ } );
// register start event
concat.on( "start", function( options ){ /* ... */ } );
// register build filter event
concat.on( "build", function( data, options ){ return data; } );
// register finish event
concat.on( "finish", function( options ){ /* ... */ } );
// run script
concat.run( { /* options */ } );
