A utility to parse and query HTML into an object shape. Heavily inspired by gdom.
hpq.parse( '<figure><img src="img.png" alt="Image"><figcaption>An Image</figcaption></figure>', {
src: hpq.attr( 'img', 'src' ),
alt: hpq.attr( 'img', 'alt' ),
caption: hpq.text( 'figcaption' )
} );
// { src: "img.png", alt: "Image", caption: "An Image" }
hpq.parse( '<blockquote><p>...</p><p>...</p><cite>Andrew</cite></blockquote>', {
text: hpq.query( 'p', hpq.text() ),
cite: hpq.text( 'cite' )
} );
// { text: [ "...", "..." ], cite: "Andrew" }Download the generated script file or install via NPM if you have a front-end build process:
npm install hpq
hpq assumes that it's being run in a browser environment. If you need to simulate this in Node, consider jsdom.
Pass a markup string or DOM element to the top-level parse function, along with the object shape you'd like to match. Keys of the matcher object will align with the returned object shape, where values are matcher functions; one of the many included matchers or your own accepting the node under test.
parse( source: string | Element, matchers: Object | Function ): Object | mixed
Given a markup string or DOM element, creates an object aligning with the shape of the matchers object, or the value returned by the matcher function. If matchers is an object, its keys are the desired parameter names and its values are matcher functions that will each extract the value of their desired parameter.
Matcher functions accept a single parameter node (a DOM element) and return the requested value.
attr( selector: ?string, name: string ): Function
Generates a function which matches node of type selector, returning an attribute by name if the attribute exists. If no selector is passed, returns attribute of the query element.
prop( selector: ?string, name: string ): Function
Generates a function which matches node of type selector, returning an attribute by property if the attribute exists. If no selector is passed, returns property of the query element.
html( selector: ?string ): Function
Convenience for prop( selector, 'innerHTML' ) .
text( selector: ?string ): Function
Convenience for prop( selector, 'textContent' ) .
query( selector: string, matchers: Object | Function )
Creates a new matching context by first finding elements matching selector using querySelectorAll before then running another parse on matchers scoped to the matched elements.
