# Query and Manipulation Library

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tenbits/selenium-query.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tenbits/selenium-query)
[![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/selenium-query.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/selenium-query)
[![TypeScript](https://badges.frapsoft.com/typescript/code/typescript.svg?v=101)](https://github.com/ellerbrock/typescript-badges/)

#### jQuery-alike API for [Selenium WebDriver](https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/index.html), [JSDom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom) and [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio)


Single API to query web-pages or html blocks with supported providers: `Selenium WebDriver`, `JSDom`, `Cheerio` _(`puppeteer` on roadmap)_. 

> Use for tests or crawlers. 

---

### Asynchronous nature

As the WebDriver methods are **async**, `Selenium Query` instance implements `Promise` and you can chain the function calls or use `async/await`. A very basic example

```javascript
let $ = require('selenium-query');
$(driver)
    .find('.foo')
    .filter('input')
    .attr('placeholder', 'Baz')
    .val()
    .then(value => console.log(value));

// or via await
let value = await $(driver).find('input.foo').val();
console.log(value);
```

### Extension methods

As with jQuery you can define an extension method and call it in your tests

```javascript
let $ = require('selenium-query');
$.fn.doBaz = function(){
    return this.each(el => {
        // do some usefull things with WebElement/JsDomElement/CherioElement
    });
};
$(driver)
	.find('input')
	.doBaz();
```

##### `constructor(WebDriver|WebElement|Array<WebElement>|SQuery|Array<SQuery>)` <a name='constructor'></a>

- [WebDriver](https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/module/selenium-webdriver/index_exports_WebDriver.html)
- [WebElement](https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/module/selenium-webdriver/index_exports_WebElement.html)

```javascript
let SQuery = require('selenium-query');
let $document = SQuery(driver);
let $inputs = $document.find('inputs');
```

## Collection

##### `length:number` <a name='length'></a>
Count of WebElements in a current set.
> :exclamation: Due to asynchronous nature, sometimes you have to wait until the promise is resolved to get the correct `length` value

##### `eq(index:number):SQuery` <a name='eq'></a>
Get the SQuery instance with only one element at the index.
> :exclamation: Once again, wait until the promise is resolved, or **chain** the manipulations
```javascript
$(driver)
    .find('button')
    .eq(0)
    .css('background-color', 'red')
    .done(() => console.log('The color has been changed.'))
// instead of an equivalent
$(driver)
    .find('button')
    .done(buttons => {
        buttons
            .eq(0)
            .done(firstButton => {
                firstButton
                    .css('background-color', 'red')
