Proximal.Xmlel (proximal v0.2.3)

Xmlel is a struct data which is intended to help with the parsing of the XML elements.

Summary

Types

t()

Xmlel.t defines the xmlel element which contains the name, the attrs (attributes) and children for the XML tags.

Functions

Provide the name of the children tags.

This function removes the extra spaces inside of the stanzas starting from xmlel to ensure we can perform matching in a proper way.

This function is a helper function to translate the tuples coming from Saxy into de data parameter to the Proximal.Xmlel structs.

Deletes an attribute by name from a xmlel struct.

This function is a helper function to translate the content of the xmlel structs to the tuples needed by Saxy.

Access the value stored under key passing the stanza in Proximal.Xmlel format into the xmlel parameter.

Access the value under key and update it at the same time for the xmlel using the function passed as paramter.

Retrieve an attribute by name from a xmlel struct. If the value is not found the default value is used instead. If default is not provided then nil is used as default value.

Creates a Xmlel struct passing the name of the stanza, the attrs as a map or keyword list to create the attributes and children for the payload of the XML tag. This is not recursive so it's intended the children has to be in a correct format.

Parser a xml string into Proximal.Xmlel struct.

Pop the value under key passed an Proximal.Xmlel struct as element.

Add or set a value by name as attribute inside of the xmlel struct passed as parameter.

Add or set one or several attributes using fields inside of the xmlel struct passed as parameter. The fields data are in keyword list format.

Sigil to use ~X to provide XML string and transform it to Xmlel struct. Note that we are not using addons.

Xmlel.t defines the xmlel element which contains the name, the attrs (attributes) and children for the XML tags.

Functions

children_tag_names(xmlel)

Provide the name of the children tags.

Examples:

iex> import Proximal.Xmlel, only: [sigil_x: 2]
iex> xmlel = ~x[<root><child1/><child2/><child3/></root>]
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.children_tag_names(xmlel)
["child1", "child2", "child3"]

clean_spaces(xmlel)

This function removes the extra spaces inside of the stanzas starting from xmlel to ensure we can perform matching in a proper way.

Examples:

iex> "<foo>\n    <bar>\n        Hello<br/>world!\n    </bar>\n</foo>"
iex> |> Proximal.Xmlel.parse()
iex> |> Proximal.Xmlel.clean_spaces()
iex> |> to_string()
"<foo><bar>Hello<br/>world!</bar></foo>"

decode(data)

This function is a helper function to translate the tuples coming from Saxy into de data parameter to the Proximal.Xmlel structs.

Examples:

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.decode({"foo", [], []})
%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", name: "foo", attrs: %{}, children: []}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.decode({"foo", [], [{:characters, "1&1"}]})
%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", name: "foo", children: ["1&1"]}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.decode({"bar", [{"id", "10"}], ["Hello!"]})
%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "bar", name: "bar", attrs: %{"id" => "10"}, children: ["Hello!"]}

delete_attr(xmlel, name)

Examples:

iex> attrs = %{"id" => "100", "name" => "Alice"}
iex> xmlel = %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: attrs}
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr(xmlel, "name")
"Alice"
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.delete_attr(xmlel, "name")
iex> |> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr("name")
nil

encode(xmlel)

Examples:

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.encode(%Proximal.Xmlel{name: "foo"})
{"foo", [], []}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.encode(%Proximal.Xmlel{name: "bar", attrs: %{"id" => "10"}, children: ["Hello!"]})
{"bar", [{"id", "10"}], [{:characters, "Hello!"}]}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.encode(%TestBuild{name: "bro"})
{"bro", [], []}

fetch(xmlel, key)

Access the value stored under key passing the stanza in Proximal.Xmlel format into the xmlel parameter.

Examples:

iex> import Proximal.Xmlel
iex> el = ~x(<foo><c1 v="1"/><c1 v="2"/><c2/></foo>)
iex> fetch(el, "c1")
{:ok, [%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "1"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}, %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "2"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}]}
iex> fetch(el, "nonexistent")
:error

get_and_update(xmlel, key, function)

Access the value under key and update it at the same time for the xmlel using the function passed as paramter.

Examples:

iex> import Proximal.Xmlel
iex> el = ~x(<foo><c1 v="1"/><c1 v="2"/><c2/></foo>)
iex> fun = fn els ->
iex> values = Enum.map(els, fn %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => v}} = el -> %Proximal.Xmlel{el | attrs: %{"v" => "v" <> v}} end)
iex> {els, values}
iex> end
iex> get_and_update(el, "c1", fun)
{[%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "1"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}, %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "2"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}], %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{}, children: [%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "v1"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}, %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "v2"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}, %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{}, children: [], name: "c2", full_name: "c2"}], name: "foo", full_name: "foo"}}

get_attr(xmlel, name, default \\ nil)

Retrieve an attribute by name from a xmlel struct. If the value is not found the default value is used instead. If default is not provided then nil is used as default value.

Examples:

iex> attrs = %{"id" => "100", {"ns1", "name"} => "Alice"}
iex> xmlel = %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: attrs}
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr(xmlel, "name")
"Alice"
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr(xmlel, "id")
"100"
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr(xmlel, "ns1:name")
"Alice"
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr(xmlel, "surname")
nil

new(name, attrs \\ %{}, children \\ [])

@spec new(name :: String.t(), attrs() | [{attr_name(), attr_value()}], children()) ::
  t()

Creates a Xmlel struct passing the name of the stanza, the attrs as a map or keyword list to create the attributes and children for the payload of the XML tag. This is not recursive so it's intended the children has to be in a correct format.

The children could be or binaries (strings) representing CDATA or other Proximal.Xmlel elements.

Examples:

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.new("foo")
%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", attrs: %{}, children: [], name: "foo"}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.new("bar", %{"id" => "10"})
%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "bar", attrs: %{"id" => "10"}, children: [], name: "bar"}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.new("bar", [{"id", "10"}])
%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "bar", attrs: %{"id" => "10"}, children: [], name: "bar"}

parse(xml)

Parser a xml string into Proximal.Xmlel struct.

Examples:

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.parse("<foo/>")
{%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", name: "foo", attrs: %{}, children: []}, ""}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.parse("<foo bar='10'>hello world!</foo>")
{%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", name: "foo", attrs: %{"bar" => "10"}, children: ["hello world!"]}, ""}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.parse("<foo><bar>hello world!</bar></foo>")
{%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", name: "foo", attrs: %{}, children: [%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "bar", name: "bar", attrs: %{}, children: ["hello world!"]}]}, ""}

iex> Proximal.Xmlel.parse("<foo/><bar/>")
{%Proximal.Xmlel{full_name: "foo", name: "foo", attrs: %{}, children: []}, "<bar/>"}

pop(element, key)

Pop the value under key passed an Proximal.Xmlel struct as element.

Examples:

iex> import Proximal.Xmlel
iex> el = ~x(<foo><c1 v="1"/><c1 v="2"/><c2/></foo>)
iex> pop(el, "c1")
{[%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "1"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}, %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{"v" => "2"}, children: [], name: "c1", full_name: "c1"}], %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{}, children: [%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{}, children: [], name: "c2", full_name: "c2"}], name: "foo", full_name: "foo"}}

Examples:

iex> attrs = %{"id" => "100", "name" => "Alice"}
iex> %Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: attrs}
iex> |> Proximal.Xmlel.put_attr("name", "Bob")
iex> |> Proximal.Xmlel.get_attr("name")
"Bob"

put_attrs(xmlel, fields)

Add or set one or several attributes using fields inside of the xmlel struct passed as parameter. The fields data are in keyword list format.

Examples:

iex> fields = %{"id" => "100", "name" => "Alice", "city" => "Cordoba"}
iex> Proximal.Xmlel.put_attrs(%Proximal.Xmlel{name: "foo"}, fields) |> to_string()
"<foo city=\"Cordoba\" id=\"100\" name=\"Alice\"/>"

"<foo id=\"100\" name=\"Alice\"/>"

sigil_X(string, addons)

Sigil to use ~X to provide XML string and transform it to Xmlel struct. Note that we are not using addons.

Examples:

iex> import Proximal.Xmlel
iex> ~X|<foo>
iex> </foo>
iex> |
%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{}, children: ["\n "], name: "foo", full_name: "foo"}

sigil_x(string, addons)

Sigil to use ~x to provide XML string and transform it to Xmlel struct removing spaces and breaking lines. Note that we are not using addons.

Examples:

iex> import Proximal.Xmlel
iex> ~x|<foo>
iex> </foo>
iex> |
%Proximal.Xmlel{attrs: %{}, children: [], name: "foo", full_name: "foo"}
