CSSContentParser
class CSSContentParser (View source)
CSSContentParser enables parsing & assertion running of HTML content via CSS selectors.
It works by converting the content to XHTML using tidy, rewriting the CSS selectors as XPath queries, and executing those using SimpeXML.
It was built to facilitate testing using PHPUnit and contains a number of assert methods that will throw PHPUnit assertion exception when applicable.
Tries to use the PHP tidy extension (http://php.net/tidy), and falls back to the "tidy" CLI tool. If none of those exists, the string is parsed directly without sanitization.
Caution: Doesn't fully support HTML elements like
Traits
A class that can be instantiated or replaced via DI
Methods
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
No description
Returns a number of SimpleXML elements that match the given CSS selector.
Allows querying the content through XPATH selectors.
Converts a CSS selector into an equivalent xpath expression.

create(array ...$args)
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
This method will defer class substitution to the Injector API, which can be customised via the Config API to declare substitution classes.
This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create('SiteTree'); $list = SiteTree::get();
static Injectable
singleton(string $class = null)
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).
__construct($content)
SimpleXMLElement[]
getBySelector(string $selector)
Returns a number of SimpleXML elements that match the given CSS selector.
Currently the selector engine only supports querying by tag, id, and class. See {@link getByXpath()} for a more direct selector syntax.
SimpleXMLElement[]
getByXpath(string $xpath)
Allows querying the content through XPATH selectors.
string
selector2xpath(string $selector)
Converts a CSS selector into an equivalent xpath expression.
Currently the selector engine only supports querying by tag, id, and class.
