Table

Represents a HTML table. Has some convenience methods for working with tabular data.

class Table : Element {

this(Document _parentDocument);

Element th(T t);

Element td(T t);

Element appendHeaderRow(T t);

Element appendFooterRow(T t);

Element appendRow(T t);

void addColumnClasses(string[] classes);

Element captionElement();

string caption [@property getter];

string caption [@property setter];

TableCell[][] getGrid(Element tablePortition);

}

Constructors

this this(Document _parentDocument): You can make this yourself but you'd generally get one of these object out of a html parse or Element.make call.

Functions

addColumnClasses void addColumnClasses(string[] classes): Takes each argument as a class name and calls Element.addClass for each element in the column associated with that index.
appendFooterRow Element appendFooterRow(T t): Passes each argument to the th method for appendHeaderRow or td method for the others, appends them all to the <tbody> element for appendRow, <thead> element for appendHeaderRow, or a <tfoot> element for appendFooterRow, and ensures it is appended it to the table.
appendHeaderRow Element appendHeaderRow(T t)
appendRow Element appendRow(T t): Passes each argument to the th method for appendHeaderRow or td method for the others, appends them all to the <tbody> element for appendRow, <thead> element for appendHeaderRow, or a <tfoot> element for appendFooterRow, and ensures it is appended it to the table.
captionElement Element captionElement(): Returns the <caption> element of the table, creating one if it isn't there.
getGrid TableCell[][] getGrid(Element tablePortition): Gets the logical layout of the table as a rectangular grid of cells. It considers rowspan and colspan. A cell with a large span is represented in the grid by being referenced several times. The tablePortition parameter can get just a <thead>, <tbody>, or <tfoot> portion if you pass one.
td Element td(T t): Creates an element with the given type and content. The argument can be an Element, Html, or other data which is converted to text with to!string
th Element th(T t): Creates an element with the given type and content. The argument can be an Element, Html, or other data which is converted to text with to!string

Properties

caption string caption [@property getter]
string caption [@property setter]: Returns or sets the text inside the <caption> element, creating that element if it isnt' there.

From Element

opIndex ElementCollection opIndex(string selector): Returns a collection of elements by selector. See: Document.opIndex
opIndex Element opIndex(size_t index): Returns the child node with the particular index.
requireElementById SomeElementType requireElementById(string id, string file, size_t line): Calls getElementById, but throws instead of returning null if the element is not found. You can also ask for a specific subclass of Element to dynamically cast to, which also throws if it cannot be done.
requireSelector SomeElementType requireSelector(string selector, string file, size_t line): ditto but with selectors instead of ids
optionSelector MaybeNullElement!SomeElementType optionSelector(string selector, string file, size_t line): If a matching selector is found, it returns that Element. Otherwise, the returned object returns null for all methods.
classes string[] classes [@property getter]: get all the classes on this element
ClassListHelper struct ClassListHelper: The object classList returns.
classList inout(ClassListHelper) classList [@property getter]
classNames alias classNames = classes: Returns a helper object to work with classes, just like javascript.
addClass Element addClass(string c): Adds a string to the class attribute. The class attribute is used a lot in CSS.
removeClass Element removeClass(string c): Removes a particular class name.
hasClass bool hasClass(string c): Returns whether the given class appears in this element.
addChild Element addChild(string tagName, string childInfo, string childInfo2)
Element addChild(Element e)
Element addChild(string tagName, Element firstChild, string info2)
Element addChild(string tagName, Html innerHtml, string info2): Family of convenience functions to quickly add a tag with some text or other relevant info (for example, it's a src for an <img> element instead of inner text). They forward to Element.make then calls appendChild.
addSibling Element addSibling(string tagName, string childInfo, string childInfo2)
Element addSibling(Element e): Another convenience function. Adds a child directly after the current one, returning the new child.
addChildren void addChildren(T t): Convenience function to append text intermixed with other children. For example: div.addChildren("You can visit my website by ", new Link("mysite.com", "clicking here"), "."); or div.addChildren("Hello, ", user.name, "!"); See also: appendHtml. This might be a bit simpler though because you don't have to think about escaping.
appendChildren void appendChildren(Element[] children): Appends the list of children to this element.
reparent void reparent(Element newParent): Removes this element form its current parent and appends it to the given newParent.
stripOut void stripOut(): Strips this tag out of the document, putting its inner html as children of the parent.
removeFromTree Element removeFromTree(): shorthand for this.parentNode.removeChild(this) with parentNode null check if the element already isn't in a tree, it does nothing.
wrapIn Element wrapIn(Element what): Wraps this element inside the given element. It's like this.replaceWith(what); what.appendchild(this);
replaceWith Element replaceWith(Element e): Replaces this element with something else in the tree.
firstInnerText string firstInnerText(): Fetches the first consecutive text nodes concatenated together.
directText string directText [@property getter]: Returns the text directly under this element.
directText string directText [@property setter]: Sets the direct text, without modifying other child nodes.
tagName string tagName;: The name of the tag. Remember, changing this doesn't change the dynamic type of the object.
attributes AttributesHolder attributes;: This is where the attributes are actually stored. You should use getAttribute, setAttribute, and hasAttribute instead.
parentDocument inout(Document) parentDocument [@property getter]: Get the parent Document object that contains this element. It may be null, so remember to check for that.
parentNode inout(Element) parentNode(): Returns the parent node in the tree this element is attached to.
make Element make(string tagName, string childInfo, string childInfo2, string[] selfClosedElements)
Element make(string tagName, Html innerHtml, string childInfo2)
Element make(string tagName, Element child, string childInfo2): Convenience function to try to do the right thing for HTML. This is the main way I create elements.
firstChild Element firstChild [@property getter]: Returns the first child of this element. If it has no children, returns null. Remember, text nodes are children too.
lastChild Element lastChild [@property getter]: Returns the last child of the element, or null if it has no children. Remember, text nodes are children too.
nextInSource Element nextInSource()
previousInSource Element previousInSource(): the next or previous element you would encounter if you were reading it in the source. May be a text node or other special non-tag object if you enabled them.
previousElementSibling Element previousElementSibling [@property getter]
nextElementSibling Element nextElementSibling [@property getter]: Returns the next or previous sibling that is not a text node. Please note: the behavior with comments is subject to change. Currently, it will return a comment or other nodes if it is in the tree (if you enabled it with Document.enableAddingSpecialTagsToDom or Document.parseSawComment) and not if you didn't, but the implementation will probably change at some point to skip them regardless.
previousSibling string previousSibling [@property setter]
nextSibling string nextSibling [@property setter]: Returns the next or previous sibling matching the tagName filter. The default filter of null will return the first sibling it sees, even if it is a comment or text node, or anything else. A filter of "*" will match any tag with a name. Otherwise, the string must match the tagName of the sibling you want to find.
getParent T getParent(string tagName): Gets the nearest node, going up the chain, with the given tagName May return null or throw. The type T will specify a subclass like Form, Table, or Link, which it will cast for you when found.

textContent alias textContent = innerText: Fetch the inside text, with all tags stripped out.
visibleText string visibleText(): Gets the element's visible text, similar to how it would look assuming the document was HTML being displayed by a browser. This means it will attempt whitespace normalization (unless it is a <pre> tag), add \n characters for <br> tags, and I reserve the right to make it process additional css and tags in the future.

nodeType int nodeType [@property getter]: .
toString string toString(): Turns the whole element, including tag, attributes, and children, into a string which could be pasted into an XML file.
isEmpty bool isEmpty(): Returns if the node would be printed to string as <tag /> or <tag></tag>. In other words, if it has no non-empty text nodes and no element nodes. Please note that whitespace text nodes are NOT considered empty; Html("<tag> </tag>").isEmpty == false.
toPrettyString string toPrettyString(bool insertComments, int indentationLevel, string indentWith): Writes out with formatting. Be warned: formatting changes the contents. Use ONLY for eyeball debugging.
writeToAppender string writeToAppender(Appender!string where): This is the actual implementation used by toString. You can pass it a preallocated buffer to save some time. Note: the ordering of attributes in the string is undefined. Returns the string it creates.

addField Element addField(string label, string name, string type, FormFieldOptions fieldOptions)
Element addField(Element label, string name, string type, FormFieldOptions fieldOptions)
