Feature Request: New extractor to download javascript/ts sourcemap files for any compiled/minified .js assets used in archived pages

[jensolsson]

I love how ArchiveBox is downloading javascript files from a specific site, however to make minified javascript readable it would be great to also include the .map file (called javascript source maps. If I understand correctly they are the same name but ends in .js.map instead of .js). Can this be added easily ?

If someone would give me some pointers on where to start I could probably do the work

This would likely require a new extractor, since none of our existing extractors try to download or are even aware of .map files.

You can check out our docs on that process here: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox#contributing-a-new-extractor

Though to be honest this one would be fairly low on my priority list as it's just for developer experience and doesn't visually impact replay fidelity.

If you're interested in contributing an extractor, we'd love to have help adding one of these higher-impact ones, and I'm offering $250~$1000+ bounties for contributions at the moment:

• an extractor to save discussion threads from forums, comment sections, reddit, twitter, etc as markdown/json
• an extractor to fetch galleries of images e.g. gallery-dl
• an extractor to fetch linked 3D assets like meshes, shaders, STL files, and other CAD models
• an extractor to fetch research papers referenced by DOI numbers from scihub/jstor/etc

Hello @pirate, if this bounty is still up I'll like to work on it

The bounty is unfortunatley no longer available, but once the plugin ecosystem is released in v0.9.0 https://docs.sweeting.me/s/archivebox-plugin-ecosystem-announcement it should be much easier to contribute new extractors, please check back in a bit!
