NAME

WWW::Mechanize::Chrome::Node - represent a Chrome HTML node in Perl

SYNOPSIS

    (my $node) = $mech->selector('.download');
    print $node->get_attribute('class'); # "download"

MEMBERS

attributes

The attributes this node has

nodeName

The (tag) name of this node, with a namespace

nodeId

The nodeId of this node

localName

The local (tag) name of this node

backendNodeId

The id of this node within Chrome

cachedNodeId

The cached id of this node for this session

objectId

Another id of this node within Chrome

driver

The Chrome::DevToolsProtocol::Transport instance used to communicate with Chrome

mech

A weak reference to the WWW::Mechanize::Chrome instance used to communicate with Chrome.

CONSTRUCTORS

fetchNode

  WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->fetchNode(
      nodeId => $nodeId,
      driver => $mech->driver,
  )->get()

Returns a Future that returns a populated node.

METHODS

->get_attribute

  print $node->get_attribute('outerHTML');

Fetches the attribute of the node from Chrome

  print $node->get_attribute('href', live => 1);

Force a live query of the attribute to Chrome. If the attribute was declared on the node, this overrides the stored value and queries Chrome again for the current value of the attribute.

->set_attribute

  $node->set_attribute('href' => 'https://example.com');

Sets or creates an attribute of a node. To remove an attribute, pass in the attribute value as undef.

Note that this invalidates the nodeId of every node so you may or may not need to refetch all other nodes or receive stale values.

->get_tag_name

  print $node->get_tag_name();

Fetches the tag name of this node

->get_text

  print $node->get_text();

Returns the text of the node and the contained child nodes.

->set_text

  $node->set_text("Hello World");

Sets the text of the node and the contained child nodes.
