DOM Selector

build CodeQL npm (scoped)

A CSS selector engine.

Install

npm i @asamuzakjp/dom-selector

Usage

import { DOMSelector } from '@asamuzakjp/dom-selector';
import { JSDOM } from 'jsdom';

const { window } = new JSDOM();
const {
  closest, matches, querySelector, querySelectorAll
} = new DOMSelector(window);

matches(selector, node, opt)

matches - equivalent to Element.matches()

Parameters

  • selector string CSS selector
  • node object Element node
  • opt object? options
    • opt.noexcept boolean? no exception
    • opt.warn boolean? console warn e.g. unsupported pseudo-class

Returns boolean true if matched, false otherwise

closest(selector, node, opt)

closest - equivalent to Element.closest()

Parameters

  • selector string CSS selector
  • node object Element node
  • opt object? options
    • opt.noexcept boolean? no exception
    • opt.warn boolean? console warn e.g. unsupported pseudo-class

Returns object? matched node

querySelector(selector, node, opt)

querySelector - equivalent to Document.querySelector(), DocumentFragment.querySelector() and Element.querySelector()

Parameters

  • selector string CSS selector
  • node object Document, DocumentFragment or Element node
  • opt object? options
    • opt.noexcept boolean? no exception
    • opt.warn boolean? console warn e.g. unsupported pseudo-class

Returns object? matched node

querySelectorAll(selector, node, opt)

querySelectorAll - equivalent to Document.querySelectorAll(), DocumentFragment.querySelectorAll() and Element.querySelectorAll()
NOTE: returns Array, not NodeList

Parameters

  • selector string CSS selector
  • node object Document, DocumentFragment or Element node
  • opt object? options
    • opt.noexcept boolean? no exception
    • opt.warn boolean? console warn e.g. unsupported pseudo-class

Returns Array<(object | undefined)> array of matched nodes

*1: ElementInternals.states, i.e. CustomStateSet, is not implemented in jsdom, so you need to apply a patch in the custom element constructor.

class LabeledCheckbox extends window.HTMLElement {
  #internals;
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.#internals = this.attachInternals();
    // patch CustomStateSet
    if (!this.#internals.states) {
      this.#internals.states = new Set();
    }
    this.addEventListener('click', this._onClick.bind(this));
  }
  get checked() {
    return this.#internals.states.has('checked');
  }
  set checked(flag) {
    if (flag) {
      this.#internals.states.add('checked');
    } else {
      this.#internals.states.delete('checked');
    }
  }
  _onClick(event) {
    this.checked = !this.checked;
  }
}
