What is css-select?

The css-select package is a CSS selector engine that enables querying and manipulating HTML and XML documents using CSS selectors. It can be used to select elements from a DOM tree, similar to how you would select elements in the browser using CSS.

What are css-select's main functionalities?

Selecting elements

This feature allows you to select elements from a DOM tree using CSS selectors. The code sample demonstrates selecting all <p> elements from a given HTML string.

const cssSelect = require('css-select');
const parseHTML = require('htmlparser2').parseDocument;
const dom = parseHTML('<div><p>Hello World</p></div>');
const elems = cssSelect('p', dom);
console.log(elems[0].children[0].data); // 'Hello World'

Matching elements

This feature checks if a given element matches a CSS selector. The code sample demonstrates checking if the first child of the root element has a class 'foo'.

const cssSelect = require('css-select');
const parseHTML = require('htmlparser2').parseDocument;
const dom = parseHTML('<div class='foo'><p>Hello World</p></div>');
const isMatch = cssSelect.is(dom.children[0], '.foo');
console.log(isMatch); // true

Pseudo-selectors

This feature allows the use of pseudo-selectors to select elements. The code sample demonstrates selecting the first child of a list.

const cssSelect = require('css-select');
const parseHTML = require('htmlparser2').parseDocument;
const dom = parseHTML('<ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li></ul>');
const firstItem = cssSelect(':first-child', dom);
console.log(firstItem[0].children[0].data); // 'Item 1'
