I am using gem nokogiri for Nokogiri::XML::Node manipulations.here are the some examples of performing the basics operations on the Nokogiri::XML::Node.you can perform these operations with Nokogiri::XML::Node.
Say for the example you have the Nokogiri::XML::Node named node,now here are some basic operation with this node.
1. Get parent:
node.parent #=> will return of the xpath of the node in document.2. Get xpath:
node.path #=>will return of the xpath of the node in document3. Get node at some path in document:
_node = doc.xpath('some_path')
#=>where doc is a nokogiri document.it will return a nodeset if you want to get the exact node then do this.
_node = doc.xpath('some_path')[0] or _node = doc.xpath('some_path').first4. Get children:
node.children
#=>will return the ```nodeset``` of childs of node your can select them according to your need.5. Add children:
node.add_child('child_html')
#=> add child in as the last child.6. Add siblings:
node.add_next_sibling('some_html') #=> add a sibling node after the node in parent.
node.add_previous_sibling('some_html') #=> add a sibling node before the node in parent node.7. Replace a node:
node.replace("replace_node's_html") #=> replace a node by given html.8. Styling a node:
node['class'] = 'some_css_class' #=> add a css class to node.
css_class = node['class'] #=> get the css_class of the node.9. Show html:
node.to_html #=> will return html of the node.Thanks for reading this.
Enjoy!!!
