DOM Selector

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

Monkey patch jsdom

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

const dom = new JSDOM('', {
  runScripts: 'dangerously',
  url: 'http://localhost/',
  beforeParse: window => {
    const domSelector = new DOMSelector(window);

    const matches = domSelector.matches.bind(domSelector);
    window.Element.prototype.matches = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return matches(selector, this);
    };

    const closest = domSelector.closest.bind(domSelector);
    window.Element.prototype.closest = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return closest(selector, this);
    };

    const querySelector = domSelector.querySelector.bind(domSelector);
    window.Document.prototype.querySelector = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return querySelector(selector, this);
    };
    window.DocumentFragment.prototype.querySelector = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return querySelector(selector, this);
    };
    window.Element.prototype.querySelector = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return querySelector(selector, this);
    };

    const querySelectorAll = domSelector.querySelectorAll.bind(domSelector);
    window.Document.prototype.querySelectorAll = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return querySelectorAll(selector, this);
    };
    window.DocumentFragment.prototype.querySelectorAll = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return querySelectorAll(selector, this);
    };
    window.Element.prototype.querySelectorAll = function (...args) {
      if (!args.length) {
        throw new window.TypeError('1 argument required, but only 0 present.');
      }
      const [selector] = args;
      return querySelectorAll(selector, this);
    };
  }
});

Supported CSS selectors

*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;
  }
}
