API

HTMLNode.create(input: string): HTMLNodeInterface[]

Parses the input HTML string and returns an array of HTMLNodeInterface objects representing the DOM structure.

HTMLNodeInterface

An interface representing a parsed HTML node with the following properties and methods:

Properties

• tagName: string: The tag name of the node.
• attributes: { [key: string]: string }: The attributes of the node.
• children: HTMLNodeInterface[]: The child nodes of the node.
• content?: string: The content of the node.

Methods

• html(): string: Returns the HTML representation of the node.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div><p>Hello</p></div>')[0];
    console.log(node.html()); // Outputs: <div><p>Hello</p></div>

• text(): string: Returns the text content of the node.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div>Hello <span>world</span></div>')[0];
    console.log(node.text()); // Outputs: Hello world

• getElementById(id: string): HTMLNodeInterface | null: Finds a child node by its ID.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div><p id="para">Hello</p></div>')[0];
    console.log(node.getElementById('para')); // Outputs the <p> node with id="para"

• getElementsByClass(className: string): HTMLNodeInterface[]: Finds child nodes by their class name.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div class="container"><p class="text">Hello</p></div>')[0];
    console.log(node.getElementsByClass('text')); // Outputs an array with the <p> node

• hidden(): void: Hides the node by setting display: none; in its style attribute.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div>Hello</div>')[0];
    node.hidden();
    console.log(node.html()); // Outputs: <div style="display: none;">Hello</div>

• show(): void: Shows the node by removing display: none; from its style attribute.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div style="display: none;">Hello</div>')[0];
    node.show();
    console.log(node.html()); // Outputs: <div>Hello</div>

• remove(): void: Marks the node as removed.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div>Hello</div>')[0];
    node.remove();
    console.log(node.html()); // Outputs: ''

• unRemove(): void: Unmarks the node as removed.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div>Hello</div>')[0];
    node.remove();
    node.unRemove();
    console.log(node.html()); // Outputs: <div>Hello</div>

• filterAttributes(whitelist: string[]): void: Filters the node's attributes based on a whitelist.
  • Example:

    const node = HTMLNode.create('<div onclick="alert(\'hello\')" class="container">Hello</div>')[0];
    node.filterAttributes(['class']);
    console.log(node.html()); // Outputs: <div class="container">Hello</div>
