NAME
Mojo::DOM::CSS - CSS selector engine
SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::DOM::CSS;
# Select elements from DOM tree
my $css = Mojo::DOM::CSS->new(tree => $tree);
my $elements = $css->select('h1, h2, h3');DESCRIPTION
Mojo::DOM::CSS is the CSS selector engine used by Mojo::DOM, based on the HTML Living Standard and Selectors Level 3.
SELECTORS
All CSS selectors that make sense for a standalone parser are supported.
*
Any element.
my $all = $css->select('*');E
An element of type E.
my $title = $css->select('title');E[foo]
An E element with a foo attribute.
my $links = $css->select('a[href]');E[foo="bar"]
An E element whose foo attribute value is exactly equal to bar.
my $case_sensitive = $css->select('input[type="hidden"]');
my $case_sensitive = $css->select('input[type=hidden]');E[foo="bar" i]
An E element whose foo attribute value is exactly equal to any (ASCII-range) case-permutation of bar. Note that this selector is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
my $case_insensitive = $css->select('input[type="hidden" i]');
my $case_insensitive = $css->select('input[type=hidden i]');
my $case_insensitive = $css->select('input[class~="foo" i]');This selector is part of Selectors Level 4, which is still a work in progress.
E[foo~="bar"]
An E element whose foo attribute value is a list of whitespace-separated values, one of which is exactly equal to bar.
my $foo = $css->select('input[class~="foo"]');
my $foo = $css->select('input[class~=foo]');E[foo^="bar"]
An E element whose foo attribute value begins exactly with the string bar.
my $begins_with = $css->select('input[name^="f"]');
my $begins_with = $css->select('input[name^=f]');E[foo$="bar"]
An E element whose foo attribute value ends exactly with the string bar.
my $ends_with = $css->select('input[name$="o"]');
my $ends_with = $css->select('input[name$=o]');E[foo*="bar"]
An E element whose foo attribute value contains the substring bar.
my $contains = $css->select('input[name*="fo"]');
my $contains = $css->select('input[name*=fo]');E:root
An E element, root of the document.
my $root = $css->select(':root');E:nth-child(n)

my $top3 = $css->select('div:nth-child(-n+3)');E:nth-last-child(n)
An E element, the n-th child of its parent, counting from the last one.
my $third = $css->select('div:nth-last-child(3)');
my $odd = $css->select('div:nth-last-child(odd)');

my $bottom3 = $css->select('div:nth-last-child(-n+3)');E:nth-of-type(n)
An E element, the n-th sibling of its type.
my $third = $css->select('div:nth-of-type(3)');
my $odd = $css->select('div:nth-of-type(odd)');
my $even = $css->select('div:nth-of-type(even)');
my $top3 = $css->select('div:nth-of-type(-n+3)');E:nth-last-of-type(n)
An E element, the n-th sibling of its type, counting from the last one.
my $third = $css->select('div:nth-last-of-type(3)');
my $odd = $css->select('div:nth-last-of-type(odd)');
my $even = $css->select('div:nth-last-of-type(even)');
my $bottom3 = $css->select('div:nth-last-of-type(-n+3)');E:first-child
An E element, first child of its parent.
my $first = $css->select('div p:first-child');E:last-child
An E element, last child of its parent.
my $last = $css->select('div p:last-child');E:first-of-type
An E element, first sibling of its type.
my $first = $css->select('div p:first-of-type');E:last-of-type
An E element, last sibling of its type.
my $last = $css->select('div p:last-of-type');E:only-child
An E element, only child of its parent.
my $lonely = $css->select('div p:only-child');E:only-of-type
An E element, only sibling of its type.
my $lonely = $css->select('div p:only-of-type');E:empty
An E element that has no children (including text nodes).
my $empty = $css->select(':empty');E:checked
A user interface element E which is checked (for instance a radio-button or checkbox).
my $input = $css->select(':checked');E.warning
An E element whose class is "warning".
my $warning = $css->select('div.warning');E#myid
An E element with ID equal to "myid".
my $foo = $css->select('div#foo');E:not(s)
An E element that does not match simple selector s.
my $others = $css->select('div p:not(:first-child)');E F
An F element descendant of an E element.
my $headlines = $css->select('div h1');E > F
An F element child of an E element.
my $headlines = $css->select('html > body > div > h1');E + F
An F element immediately preceded by an E element.
my $second = $css->select('h1 + h2');E ~ F
An F element preceded by an E element.
my $second = $css->select('h1 ~ h2');E, F, G
Elements of type E, F and G.
my $headlines = $css->select('h1, h2, h3');E[foo=bar][bar=baz]
An E element whose attributes match all following attribute selectors.
my $links = $css->select('a[foo^=b][foo$=ar]');ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::DOM::CSS implements the following attributes.
tree
my $tree = $css->tree;
$css = $css->tree(['root']);Document Object Model. Note that this structure should only be used very carefully since it is very dynamic.
METHODS
Mojo::DOM::CSS inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.
matches
my $bool = $css->matches('head > title');Check if first node in "tree" matches the CSS selector.
select
my $results = $css->select('head > title');Run CSS selector against "tree".
select_one
my $result = $css->select_one('head > title');Run CSS selector against "tree" and stop as soon as the first node matched.
