A javascript implementation of the W3C DOM.
npm install jsdom
or
git clone http://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom.git
cd jsdom
npm link .
Bootstrapping a DOM is generally a difficult process involving many error prone steps. We didn't want jsdom to fall into the same trap and that is why a new method, jsdom.env(), has been added in jsdom 0.2.0 which should make everyone's lives easier.
// Count all of the links from the nodejs build page
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
jsdom.env("http://nodejs.org/dist/", [
'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js'
], function(errors, window) {
console.log("there have been", window.$("a").length, "nodejs releases!");
});
or with raw html
// Run some jQuery on a html fragment
var jsdom = require('jsdom');
jsdom.env('<p><a class="the-link" href="http://jsdom.org>JSDOM\'s Homepage</a></p>', [
'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js'
], function(errors, window) {
console.log("contents of a.the-link:", window.$("a.the-link").text());
});
or with a configuration object
// Print all of the news items on hackernews
var jsdom = require('jsdom');
jsdom.env('http://news.ycombinator.com/', [
'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js'
], function(errors, window) {
var $ = window.$;
console.log('HN Links');
$('td.title:not(:last) a').each(function() {
console.log(' -', $(this).text());
});
});
jsdom.env is built for ease of use, which is rare in the world of the DOM! Since the web has some absolutely horrible javascript on it, as of jsdom 0.2.0 jsdom.env will not process external resources (scripts, images, etc). If you want to process the javascript use one of the methods below (jsdom.jsdom or jsdom.jQueryify)
jsdom.env(html, [scripts], [options], callback)
-
html(required) May be a url, html fragment, or file -
scripts(optional) May contain files or urls -
callback(required) Takes 2 arguments:errors: array of errorswindow: a brand new window
example: jsdom.env(html, function(
errors,window) {})
If you would like to specify a configuration object
jsdom.env({ /* config */ })
- config.html : see
htmlabove - config.scripts : see
scriptsabove - config.done : see
callbackabove
If you want to spawn a document/window and specify all sorts of options this is the section for you. This section covers the jsdom.jsdom method:
var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom,
doc = jsdom(markup, level, options),
window = doc.createWindow();
-
markupis a full html/xml document to be parsed -
levelisnull(which means level3) by default, but you can pass another level if you'd like.var jsdom = require('jsdom'), doc = jsdom.jsdom('<html><body></body></html>', jsdom.dom.level1.core) -
optionssee the Flexibility section below
One of the goals of jsdom is to be as minimal and light as possible. This section details how
someone can change the behavior of Documents on the fly. These features are baked into
the DOMImplementation that every Document has, and may be tweaked in two ways:
-
When you create a new
Documentusing the jsdom builder (require('jsdom').jsdom())var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom, doc = jsdom("<html><body></body></html>", null, { features: { FetchExternalResources : ['img'] } });
Do note, that this will only affect the document that is currently being created. All other documents will use the defaults specified below (see: Default Features)
-
Previous to creating any documents you can modify the defaults for all future documents
require('jsdom').defaultDocumentFeatures = { FetchExternalResources : ['script'], ProcessExternalResources : false, MutationEvents : false, QuerySelector : false }
Default features are extremely important for jsdom as they lower the configuration requirement and present developers a set of consistent default behaviors. The following sections detail the available features, their defaults, and the values that jsdom uses.
FetchExternalResources
Default: ['script']
Allowed: ['script', 'img', 'css', 'frame', 'link'] or false
Enables/Disables fetching files over the filesystem/http
ProcessExternalResources
default: ['script']
allowed: ['script'] or false
Disabling this will disable script execution (currently only javascript).
MutationEvents
default: '2.0'
allowed : '2.0' or false
Initially enabled to be up to spec. Disable this if you do not need mutation events and want jsdom to be a bit more efficient.
Note: ProcessExternalResources requires this to be enabled
QuerySelector
default : false
allowed : true
This feature is backed by sizzle but currently causes problems with some libraries. Enable this if you want document.querySelector and friends, but be aware that many libraries feature detect for this, and it may cause you a bit of trouble.
var jsdom = require("jsdom"),
window = jsdom.createWindow();
console.log(window.document);
// output: undefined
var jsdom = require("jsdom"),
doc = new (jsdom.dom.level1.core.Document)();
console.log(doc.nodeName);
// outputs: #document
var jsdom = require("./lib/jsdom").jsdom,
document = jsdom("<html><head></head><body>hello world</body></html>"),
window = document.createWindow();
console.log(window.document.innerHTML);
// output: '<html><head></head><body>hello world</body></html>'
console.log(window.innerWidth)
// output: 1024
console.log(typeof window.document.getElementsByClassName);
// outputs: function
var jsdom = require("jsdom"),
window = jsdom.jsdom().createWindow();
jsdom.jQueryify(window, 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js' , function() {
window.$('body').append('<div class="testing">Hello World, It works</div>');
console.log(window.$('.testing').text());
});
