ts-xpath

ts-xpath

This is a modified version of js-xpath. It is adapted for use with TypeScript and is compiled using npm run build.

Usage

npm install ts-xpath

import { XPathParser } from 'ts-xpath';

let parser = new XPathParser();
let parsed = parser.parse("//node");

xpath-models.ts provides a default XPathModels which does not support the hashtag preprocessor. If you want to support hashtags within xpaths, you can use:

let hashtagConfig: XPathModels.HashtagConfig = {
  isValidNamespace: (namespace: string) => boolean,
  hashtagToXPath: (hashtagExpr: string) => string | null,
  toHashtag: (xpath: IXPathExpression) => string | null
}
parser.hashtagConfig = hashtagConfig;

hashtags use the format #namespace/arbitrarily/long/path and do not support filtering

Tests

• Run npm run test to run tests.

Known Limitations

• Filter expressions are not supported due to a known bug in jison.
• See the failing tests for examples of expressions that are known not to work.

Build

This is built using jison. To build the parser file yourself run:

$ npm run build - This will build both the distribution (webpack) package in dist/ and rebuild the Jison parser (src/jison/xpath.js) from the src/jison/ files. $ npm run jison - Rebuild parser.js from the Jison specification files. $ npm run dist - Rebuild the browser friendly distribution from the current source files.

For more information on jison see the jison project website at: http://zaach.github.com/jison/.
