Diglett is an extended web crawler based on the [Symfony DomCrawler Component](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/dom_crawler.html). It allows to use extended and custom css selectors to easily get data from a web page.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.1.18 or higher

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Diglett includes a webclient that returns a Diglett instance, but you can also inject your own Symfony Crawler object into the Diglett class. From your Diglett object, you can start using the different functions that implement the specialized css filter functions.

```
$diglett = \Jerodev\Diglett\WebClient::get('https://www.tabletopfinder.eu/');
$firstParagraph = $diglett->getText("p:first()");
```

Built-in selector functions
