webforge-dom
============

[](#webforge-dom)

A very very very very very simple aproach to build an api like jquery for html (testing) in php. It provides some helper for DOM\*\*\* Classes in PHP (that were difficult to debug before).

uses the symfony CSSSelector class

installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) to install.

```
composer require -v --prefer-source webforge/dom:1.0.*

```

to run the tests use:

```
phpunit

```

usage
-----

[](#usage)

Lets say, we're operating on this html:

```
Please Login

    Bitte geben sie ein Passwort ein:

    Bitte bestätigen sie das Passwort:

Reset your password
```

```
$hiddenInput = Query::create('form.main', $this->html)->find('input[name="submitted"]');

// returns an instanceof Query with the html:
```

```
$fieldsetUserData = Query::create('form.main', $this->html)->find('fieldset')->eq(0);
```

returns an instanceof Query with the html: `attr('href');
// 'http://www.ps-webforge.com'
```

works like the jquery `attr`

```
$innerHtml = Query::create('fieldset:first', $this->html)->html();

// ''
```

Returns the html from all children combined.

```
$html = Query::create('fieldset:first [name="email"]', $this->html)->outerHtml();

// ''
```

Returns the html from the element and all its children combined.

Note: The output from outerHtml() and html() is not exactly identical to the parts in the original html, because it is reformatted internally by the PHP-DOM functions.

```
$true = Query::create('fieldset:first', $this->html)->hasClass('user-data');
```

```
$true = Query::create('fieldset:first', $this->html)->hasClass('group');
```

```
$false = Query::create('fieldset:first', $this->html)->hasClass('user-data.group');
```

Checks if the element has a specific, single class.

issues
------

[](#issues)

- a selector like `something:eq(0)` does not exactly behave like it would be in jquery. Currently it is rewritten to :nth-of-type(0). But this is not exactly the same
- it's currently not possible to do a find() on a set of matched elements (PR welcome)
- hasClass does not work with combined classes like: `user-data.group`
