# jsdom
|
|
|
|
A JavaScript implementation of the WHATWG DOM and HTML standards.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm install jsdom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this gives you trouble with errors about installing Contextify, especially on Windows, see [below](#contextify).
|
|
|
|
## Human contact
|
|
|
|
see: [mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/jsdom)
|
|
|
|
## Easymode
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can use it with a URL
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Count all of the links from the Node.js build page
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
|
|
jsdom.env(
|
|
"http://nodejs.org/dist/",
|
|
["http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"],
|
|
function (errors, window) {
|
|
console.log("there have been", window.$("a").length, "nodejs releases!");
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or with raw HTML
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Run some jQuery on a html fragment
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
|
|
jsdom.env(
|
|
'<p><a class="the-link" href="https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom">jsdom\'s Homepage</a></p>',
|
|
["http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"],
|
|
function (errors, window) {
|
|
console.log("contents of a.the-link:", window.$("a.the-link").text());
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or with a configuration object
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Print all of the news items on hackernews
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
|
|
jsdom.env({
|
|
url: "http://news.ycombinator.com/",
|
|
scripts: ["http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"],
|
|
done: function (errors, window) {
|
|
var $ = window.$;
|
|
console.log("HN Links");
|
|
$("td.title:not(:last) a").each(function() {
|
|
console.log(" -", $(this).text());
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or with raw JavaScript source
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Print all of the news items on hackernews
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
var fs = require("fs");
|
|
var jquery = fs.readFileSync("./jquery.js", "utf-8");
|
|
|
|
jsdom.env({
|
|
url: "http://news.ycombinator.com/",
|
|
src: [jquery],
|
|
done: function (errors, window) {
|
|
var $ = window.$;
|
|
console.log("HN Links");
|
|
$("td.title:not(:last) a").each(function () {
|
|
console.log(" -", $(this).text());
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How it works
|
|
`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`)
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
jsdom.env(string, [scripts], [config], callback);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The arguments are:
|
|
|
|
- `string`: may be a URL, file name, or HTML fragment
|
|
- `scripts`: a string or array of strings, containing file names or URLs that will be inserted as `<script>` tags
|
|
- `config`: see below
|
|
- `callback`: takes two arguments
|
|
- `error`: either an `Error` object if something failed initializing the window, or an array of error messages from the DOM if there were script errors
|
|
- `window`: a brand new `window`
|
|
|
|
_Example:_
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
jsdom.env(html, function (errors, window) {
|
|
// free memory associated with the window
|
|
window.close();
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you would like to specify a configuration object only:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
jsdom.env(config);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `config.html`: a HTML fragment
|
|
- `config.file`: a file which jsdom will load HTML from; the resulting window's `location.href` will be a `file://` URL.
|
|
- `config.url`: sets the resulting window's `location.href`; if `config.html` and `config.file` are not provided, jsdom will load HTML from this URL.
|
|
- `config.scripts`: see `scripts` above.
|
|
- `config.src`: an array of JavaScript strings that will be evaluated against the resulting document. Similar to `scripts`, but it accepts JavaScript instead of paths/URLs.
|
|
- `config.jar`: a custom cookie jar, if desired; see [mikeal/request](https://github.com/mikeal/request) documentation.
|
|
- `config.done`: see `callback` above.
|
|
- `config.document`:
|
|
- `referrer`: the new document will have this referrer.
|
|
- `cookie`: manually set a cookie value, e.g. `'key=value; expires=Wed, Sep 21 2011 12:00:00 GMT; path=/'`.
|
|
- `cookieDomain`: a cookie domain for the manually set cookie; defaults to `127.0.0.1`.
|
|
- `config.features` : see `Flexibility` section below. **Note**: the default feature set for jsdom.env does _not_ include fetching remote JavaScript and executing it. This is something that you will need to **carefully** enable yourself.
|
|
|
|
Note that `config.done` is required, as is one of `config.html`, `config.file`, or `config.url`.
|
|
|
|
## For the hardcore
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom;
|
|
var doc = jsdom(markup, level, options);
|
|
var window = doc.parentWindow;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `markup` is an HTML/XML document to be parsed. You can also pass `null` or an undefined value to get a basic document with empty `<head>` and `<body>` tags. Document fragments are also supported (including `""`), and will behave as sanely as possible (e.g. the resulting document will lack the `head`, `body` and `documentElement` properties if the corresponding elements aren't included).
|
|
|
|
- `level` is `null` (which means level3) by default, but you can pass another level if you'd like.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
var doc = jsdom.jsdom("<html><body></body></html>", jsdom.level(1, "core"));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `options` See the explanation of the `config` object above.
|
|
|
|
### Flexibility
|
|
|
|
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 `Document`s on the fly. These features are baked into the `DOMImplementation` that every `Document` has, and may be tweaked in two ways:
|
|
|
|
1. When you create a new `Document` using the jsdom builder (`require("jsdom").jsdom()`)
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom;
|
|
var 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).
|
|
|
|
2. Before creating any documents, you can modify the defaults for all future documents:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
require("jsdom").defaultDocumentFeatures = {
|
|
FetchExternalResources: ["script"],
|
|
ProcessExternalResources: false
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Default Features
|
|
|
|
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", "iframe", "link"]` or `false`
|
|
|
|
Enables/disables fetching files over the file system/HTTP.
|
|
|
|
`ProcessExternalResources`
|
|
|
|
- _Default_: `["script"]`
|
|
- _Allowed_: `["script"]` or `false`
|
|
|
|
Disabling this will disable script execution (currently only JavaScript).
|
|
|
|
`SkipExternalResources`
|
|
|
|
- _Default_: `false`
|
|
- _Allowed_: `/url to be skipped/` or `false`
|
|
- _Example_: `/http:\/\/example.org/js/bad\.js/`
|
|
|
|
Do not download and process resources with url matching a regular expression.
|
|
|
|
### Canvas
|
|
|
|
jsdom includes support for using the [canvas](https://npmjs.org/package/canvas) package to extend any `<canvas>` elements with the canvas API. To make this work, you need to include canvas as a dependency in your project, as a peer of jsdom. If jsdom can find the canvas package, it will use it, but if it's not present, then `<canvas>` elements will behave like `<div>`s.
|
|
|
|
## More Examples
|
|
|
|
### Creating a document
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
var doc = new (jsdom.level(1, "core").Document)();
|
|
|
|
console.log(doc.nodeName); // outputs: #document
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Creating a browser-like BOM/DOM/Window
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom;
|
|
var document = jsdom("<html><head></head><body>hello world</body></html>");
|
|
var window = document.parentWindow;
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### jQueryify
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom");
|
|
var window = jsdom.jsdom().parentWindow;
|
|
|
|
jsdom.jQueryify(window, "http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js", function () {
|
|
window.$("body").append('<div class="testing">Hello World, It works</div>');
|
|
|
|
console.log(window.$(".testing").text());
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Passing objects to scripts inside the page
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom;
|
|
var window = jsdom().parentWindow;
|
|
|
|
window.__myObject = { foo: "bar" };
|
|
|
|
var scriptEl = window.document.createElement("script");
|
|
scriptEl.src = "anotherScript.js";
|
|
window.document.body.appendChild(scriptEl);
|
|
|
|
// anotherScript.js will have the ability to read `window.__myObject`, even
|
|
// though it originated in Node!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running the tests
|
|
|
|
First you'll want to `npm install`. To run all the tests, use `npm test`, which just calls `node test/runner`.
|
|
|
|
Using `test/runner` directly, you can slice and dice which tests your want to run from different levels. Usage is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
test/runner --help
|
|
Run the jsdom test suite
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-s, --suites suites that you want to run. ie: -s level1/core,1/html,html [string]
|
|
-f, --fail-fast stop on the first failed test
|
|
-h, --help show the help
|
|
-t, --tests choose the test cases to run. ie: -t jquery
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Contextify
|
|
|
|
[Contextify](https://npmjs.org/package/contextify) is a dependency of jsdom, used for running `<script>` tags within the
|
|
page. In other words, it allows jsdom, which is run in Node.js, to run strings of JavaScript in an isolated environment
|
|
that pretends to be a browser environment instead of a server. You can see how this is an important feature.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, doing this kind of magic requires C++. And in Node.js, using C++ from JavaScript means using "native
|
|
modules." Native modules are compiled at installation time so that they work precisely for your machine; that is, you
|
|
don't download a contextify binary from npm, but instead build one locally after downloading the source from npm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, getting C++ compiled within npm's installation system can be tricky, especially for Windows users. Thus,
|
|
one of the most common problems with jsdom is trying to use it without the proper compilation tools installed.
|
|
Here's what you need to compile Contextify, and thus to install jsdom:
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
* A recent copy of the *x86* version of [Node.js for Windows](http://nodejs.org/download/), *not* the x64 version.
|
|
* A copy of [Visual C++ 2010 Express](http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2010-express).
|
|
* A copy of [Python 2.7](http://www.python.org/download/), installed in the default location of `C:\Python27`.
|
|
|
|
There are some slight modifications to this that can work; for example full versions of Visual Studio usually work, and
|
|
sometimes you can even get an x64 version of Node.js working too. But it's tricky, so start with the basics!
|
|
|
|
### Mac
|
|
|
|
* XCode needs to be installed
|
|
* "Command line tools for XCode" need to be installed
|
|
* Launch XCode once to accept the license, etc. and ensure it's properly installed
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
You'll need various build tools installed, like `make`, Python 2.7, and a compiler toolchain. How to install these will
|
|
be specific to your distro, if you don't already have them.
|
