NAME

jQuery - complete jQuery port to Perl

SYNOPSIS

  ##OOP style
  use jQuery;
  my $j = jQuery->new('http://someurl.com');
  
  ##or insert html directly
  my $j = jQuery->new('<html>...</html>');
  
  $j->jQuery('p')->append( sub {
    my $i = shift;
    my $html = shift;
    return "<strong>Hello</strong>";
  } )->css('color','red');
  
  print $j->as_HTML;
  
  ##non OOP - more like jQuery.js style
  jQuery->new($html);

  jQuery("p")->append( sub{
      my $i = shift;
      my $html = shift;
      return "<strong>Hello</strong>";
  } )->css('color','red');
  
  print jQuery->as_HTML;

DESCRIPTION

This is another attempt to port jQuery to Perl "the DOM part and what ever could be run on the server side NOT client side"

To create this module I went through jQuery.js and some times literally translated javascript functions to their perl equivalent, which made my job way easier than thinking of how and why I can do this or that. of course some other times I had to roll my own hacks :)

How this differ from other Perl jQuery modules?

First, I wrote this long time ago, I wasn't sure if there were any jQuery modules then or maybe I didn't search CPAN well, then later I found pQuery which is nice, clean and written by Ingy döt Net

Here are some differences

* it uses XML::LibXML as it's parsing engine
* Work just like jQuery.js. Translate jQuery.js by simply replace . with -> "with some minor twists"
* Almost all jQuery DOM functions are supported

jQuery

Method for matching a set of elements in a document

jQuery( selector, [ context ] )
jQuery( element )
jQuery( elementArray )
jQuery( jQuery object )
jQuery( <html> )

this Method

this method in loop represents current selected node

jQuery('div')->each(sub{
    this->addClass('hola');
});

Caveats

When dealing with multiple HTML document at once always use OO style

my $j1 = jQuery->new($html1);
my $j2 = jQuery->new($html2);

##then

$j1->jQuery('div')->find('..')->addClass('..');
my $nodes = $j2->('div');
$nodes->find('span')->css('border','1px solid red');

print $j1->as_HTML();
print $j2->as_HTML();

This way, different documents will never overlap, you may use the non OO style but you need to be careful then

jQuery->new($html1);
jQuery('div')->find('..')->addClass('..');
jQuery->as_HTML;

##always use a new constructure when switching documents
##the previous will be lost
jQuery->new($html2);
my $nodes = jQuery('div');
$nodes->find('..')->css('border','1px solid red');
jQuery->as_HTML;

Dependencies

* XML::LibXML 1.70 and later
* LWP::UserAgent
* HTML::Entities
* HTTP::Request::Common
