Iterates over a cheerio object, executing a function for each matched
element. When the callback is fired, the function is fired in the context of
the DOM element, so this refers to the current element, which is equivalent
to the function parameter element. To break out of the each loop early,
return with false.

fruits[i] = $(this).text();
});

Iterates over a cheerio object, reducing the set of selector elements to those that match the selector or pass the function's test.
This is the definition for using type guards; have a look below for other
ways to invoke this method. The function is executed in the context of the
selected element, so this refers to the current element.

Pass each element in the current matched set through a function, producing a new Cheerio object containing the return values. The function can return an individual data item or an array of data items to be inserted into the resulting set. If an array is returned, the elements inside the array are inserted into the set. If the function returns null or undefined, no element will be inserted.
$('li')
.map(function (i, el) {
// this === el
return $(this).text();
})
.toArray()
.join(' ');
//=> "apple orange pear"
The mapped elements, wrapped in a Cheerio collection.
Function to execute.
Remove elements from the set of matched elements. Given a Cheerio object that
represents a set of DOM elements, the .not() method constructs a new
Cheerio object from a subset of the matching elements. The supplied selector
is tested against each element; the elements that don't match the selector
will be included in the result.
The .not() method can take a function as its argument in the same way that
.filter() does. Elements for which the function returns true are excluded
from the filtered set; all other elements are included.
$('li').not('.apple').length;
//=> 2
$('li').not(function (i, el) {
// this === el
return $(this).attr('class') === 'orange';
}).length; //=> 2

//=> 'Orange'
$('li').slice(1, 2).length;
//=> 1
The elements matching the specified range.
Optional start: numberA position at which the elements begin to be selected. If negative, it indicates an offset from the end of the set.
Optional end: numberA position at which the elements stop being selected. If negative, it indicates an offset from the end of the set. If omitted, the range continues until the end of the set.
