onParseError?​

optional onParseError: null | ParserErrorHandler

pseudos?​

optional pseudos: Record<string, string | (elem, value?) => boolean>

Defined in: src/options.ts:81

Extension point for pseudo-classes.

Maps from names to either strings of functions.

  • A string value is a selector that the element must match to be selected.
  • A function is called with the element as its first argument, and optional parameters second. If it returns true, the element is selected.

Example​

const $ = cheerio.load(
  '<div class="foo"></div><div data-bar="boo"></div>',
  {
    pseudos: {
      // `:foo` is an alias for `div.foo`
      foo: 'div.foo',
      // `:bar(val)` is equivalent to `[data-bar=val s]`
      bar: (el, val) => el.attribs['data-bar'] === val,
    },
  },
);

$(':foo').length; // 1
$('div:bar(boo)').length; // 1
$('div:bar(baz)').length; // 0

Is the document in quirks mode?

This will lead to .className and #id being case-insensitive.

Default​

sourceCodeLocationInfo?​

optional sourceCodeLocationInfo: boolean

Defined in: node_modules/parse5/dist/parser/index.d.ts:51

Enables source code location information. When enabled, each node (except the root node) will have a sourceCodeLocation property. If the node is not an empty element, sourceCodeLocation will be a ElementLocation object, otherwise it will be Location. If the element was implicitly created by the parser (as part of tree correction), its sourceCodeLocation property will be undefined.

Default​

false
