class HTML::Pipeline

GitHub HTML processing filters and utilities. This module includes a small framework for defining DOM based content filters and applying them to user provided content.

See HTML::Pipeline::Filter for information on building filters.

Construct a Pipeline for running multiple HTML filters. A pipeline is created once with one to many filters, and it then can be `call`ed many times over the course of its lifetime with input.

filters - Array of Filter objects. Each must respond to call(doc,

context) and return the modified DocumentFragment or a
String containing HTML markup. Filters are performed in the
order provided.

default_context - The default context hash. Values specified here will be merged

into values from the each individual pipeline run.  Can NOT be
nil.  Default: empty Hash.

result_class - The default Class of the result object for individual

calls.  Default: Hash.  Protip:  Pass in a Struct to get
some semblance of type safety.

Constants

DocumentFragment

Our DOM implementation.

VERSION

Attributes

default_instrumentation_service[RW]

Public Class Methods

new(filters, default_context = {}, result_class = nil) click to toggle source
# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 77
def initialize(filters, default_context = {}, result_class = nil)
  raise ArgumentError, "default_context cannot be nil" if default_context.nil?
  @filters = filters.flatten.freeze
  @default_context = default_context.freeze
  @result_class = result_class || Hash
  @instrumentation_service = self.class.default_instrumentation_service
end
parse(document_or_html) click to toggle source

Parse a String into a DocumentFragment object. When a DocumentFragment is provided, return it verbatim.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 50
def self.parse(document_or_html)
  document_or_html ||= ''
  if document_or_html.is_a?(String)
    DocumentFragment.parse(document_or_html)
  else
    document_or_html
  end
end

Public Instance Methods

call(html, context = {}, result = nil) click to toggle source

Apply all filters in the pipeline to the given HTML.

html - A String containing HTML or a DocumentFragment object. context - The context hash passed to each filter. See the Filter docs

for more info on possible values. This object MUST NOT be modified
in place by filters.  Use the Result for passing state back.

result - The result Hash passed to each filter for modification. This

is where Filters store extracted information from the content.

Returns the result Hash after being filtered by this Pipeline. Contains an :output key with the DocumentFragment or String HTML markup based on the output of the last filter in the pipeline.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 97
def call(html, context = {}, result = nil)
  context = @default_context.merge(context)
  context = context.freeze
  result ||= @result_class.new
  payload = default_payload :filters => @filters.map(&:name),
    :context => context, :result => result
  instrument "call_pipeline.html_pipeline", payload do
    result[:output] =
      @filters.inject(html) do |doc, filter|
        perform_filter(filter, doc, context, result)
      end
  end
  result
end
default_payload(payload = {}) click to toggle source

Internal: Default payload for instrumentation.

Accepts a Hash of additional payload data to be merged.

Returns a Hash.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 170
def default_payload(payload = {})
  {:pipeline => instrumentation_name}.merge(payload)
end
instrument(event, payload = nil) { |payload| ... } click to toggle source

Internal: if the `instrumentation_service` object is set, instruments the block, otherwise the block is ran without instrumentation.

Returns the result of the provided block.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 157
def instrument(event, payload = nil)
  payload ||= default_payload
  return yield(payload) unless instrumentation_service
  instrumentation_service.instrument event, payload do |payload|
    yield payload
  end
end
instrumentation_name() click to toggle source
# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 68
def instrumentation_name
  @instrumentation_name || self.class.name
end
perform_filter(filter, doc, context, result) click to toggle source

Internal: Applies a specific filter to the supplied doc.

The filter is instrumented.

Returns the result of the filter.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 117
def perform_filter(filter, doc, context, result)
  payload = default_payload :filter => filter.name,
    :context => context, :result => result
  instrument "call_filter.html_pipeline", payload do
    filter.call(doc, context, result)
  end
end
setup_instrumentation(name = nil, service = nil) click to toggle source

Public: setup instrumentation for this pipeline.

Returns nothing.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 147
def setup_instrumentation(name = nil, service = nil)
  self.instrumentation_name = name
  self.instrumentation_service =
    service || self.class.default_instrumentation_service
end
to_document(input, context = {}, result = nil) click to toggle source

Like call but guarantee the value returned is a DocumentFragment. Pipelines may return a DocumentFragment or a String. Callers that need a DocumentFragment should use this method.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 128
def to_document(input, context = {}, result = nil)
  result = call(input, context, result)
  HTML::Pipeline.parse(result[:output])
end
to_html(input, context = {}, result = nil) click to toggle source

Like call but guarantee the value returned is a string of HTML markup.

# File lib/html/pipeline.rb, line 134
def to_html(input, context = {}, result = nil)
  result = call(input, context, result = nil)
  output = result[:output]
  if output.respond_to?(:to_html)
    output.to_html
  else
    output.to_s
  end
end
