Overview

A NodeSet is an Enumerable that contains a list of Nokogiri::XML::Node objects.

Typically a NodeSet is returned as a result of searching a Document via Nokogiri::XML::Searchable#css or Nokogiri::XML::Searchable#xpath.

Note that the ‘#dup` and `#clone` methods perform shallow copies; these methods do not copy the Nodes contained in the NodeSet (similar to how Array and other Enumerable classes work).

#[](*args) ⇒ Object

start, length

-> NodeSet or nil

range

-> NodeSet or nil

slice(index) -> Node or nil
slice(start, length) -> NodeSet or nil
slice(range) -> NodeSet or nil

Element reference - returns the node at index, or returns a NodeSet containing nodes starting at start and continuing for length elements, or returns a NodeSet containing nodes specified by range. Negative indices count backward from the end of the node_set (-1 is the last node). Returns nil if the index (or start) are out of range.

#at(*args) ⇒ Object Also known as: %

call-seq: search *paths, [namespace-bindings, xpath-variable-bindings, custom-handler-class]

Search this object for paths, and return only the first result. paths must be one or more XPath or CSS queries.

See Searchable#search for more information.

Or, if passed an integer, index into the NodeSet:

node_set.at(3) # same as node_set[3]

  end

  super
end

#attr(key, value = nil, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: set, attribute

Set attributes on each Node in the NodeSet, or get an attribute from the first Node in the NodeSet.

To get an attribute from the first Node in a NodeSet:

node_set.attr("href") # => "https://www.nokogiri.org"

Note that an empty NodeSet will return nil when #attr is called as a getter.

To set an attribute on each node, key can either be an attribute name, or a Hash of attribute names and values. When called as a setter, #attr returns the NodeSet.

If key is an attribute name, then either value or block must be passed.

If key is a Hash then attributes will be set for each key/value pair:

node_set.attr("href" => "https://www.nokogiri.org", "class" => "member")

If value is passed, it will be used as the attribute value for all nodes:

node_set.attr("href", "https://www.nokogiri.org")

If block is passed, it will be called on each Node object in the NodeSet and the return value used as the attribute value for that node:

node_set.attr("class") { |node| node.name }

#wrap(node_or_tags) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

wrap(markup) -> self
wrap(node) -> self

Wrap each member of this NodeSet with the node parsed from markup or a dup of the node.

Parameters

  • markup (String) Markup that is parsed, once per member of the NodeSet, and used as the wrapper. Each node’s parent, if it exists, is used as the context node for parsing; otherwise the associated document is used. If the parsed fragment has multiple roots, the first root node is used as the wrapper.

  • node (Nokogiri::XML::Node) An element that is ‘#dup`ed and used as the wrapper.

Returns

self, to support chaining.

⚠ Note that if a String is passed, the markup will be parsed once per node in the NodeSet. You can avoid this overhead in cases where you know exactly the wrapper you wish to use by passing a Node instead.

Also see Node#wrap

Example with a String argument:

doc = Nokogiri::HTML5(<<~HTML)
  <html><body>
    <a>a</a>
    <a>b</a>
    <a>c</a>
    <a>d</a>
  </body></html>
HTML
doc.css("a").wrap("<div></div>")
doc.to_html
# => <html><head></head><body>
#      <div><a>a</a></div>
#      <div><a>b</a></div>
#      <div><a>c</a></div>
#      <div><a>d</a></div>
#    </body></html>

Example with a Node argument

💡 Note that this is faster than the equivalent call passing a String because it avoids having to reparse the wrapper markup for each node.

doc = Nokogiri::HTML5(<<~HTML)
  <html><body>
    <a>a</a>
    <a>b</a>
    <a>c</a>
    <a>d</a>
  </body></html>
HTML
doc.css("a").wrap(doc.create_element("div"))
doc.to_html
# => <html><head></head><body>
#      <div><a>a</a></div>
#      <div><a>b</a></div>
#      <div><a>c</a></div>
#      <div><a>d</a></div>
#    </body></html>
