seltabl
A golang library for configurably parsing html sequences into stucts originally built for html tables, but can be used for any html sequence.
Enables data binding to structs and provides a simple, but dynamic way to define a table schema.
Installation
Install the package with:
go get github.com/conneroisu/seltabl
Usage
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/conneroisu/seltabl"
"github.com/conneroisu/seltabl/testdata"
)
type TableStruct struct {
A string `json:"a" seltabl:"a" hSel:"tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(1)" dSel:"tr td:nth-child(1)" cSel:"$text"`
B string `json:"b" seltabl:"b" hSel:"tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(2)" dSel:"tr td:nth-child(2)" cSel:"$text"`
}
var fixture = `
<table>
<tr>
<td>a</td>
<td>b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 1 </td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3 </td>
<td>4 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 5 </td>
<td> 6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7 </td>
<td> 8</td>
</tr>
</table>
`
func main() {
fss, err := seltabl.NewFromString[TableStruct](fixture)
if err != nil {
panic(fmt.Errorf("failed to parse html: %w", err))
}
for _, fs := range fss {
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", fs)
}
}
Output:
{A:1 B:2}
{A:3 B:4}
{A:5 B:6}
{A:7 B:8}

Functions ¶
func New ¶
New parses a string into a slice of structs.
The struct must have a field with the tag seltabl, a header selector with the tag hSel, and a data selector with the tag dSel.
The selectors responsibilties:
- header selector (hSel): used to find the header row and column for the field in the given struct.
- data selector (dSel): used to find the data column for the field in the given struct.
- cell selector (cSel): used to find the inner text or attribute of the cell.
Example:
var fixture = `
<table>
<tr>
<td>a</td>
<td>b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 1 </td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3 </td>
<td> 4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 5 </td>
<td> 6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7 </td>
<td> 8</td>
</tr>

A string `json:"a" seltabl:"a" hSel:"tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(1)" dSel:"tr td:nth-child(1)" cSel:"$text"`
B string `json:"b" seltabl:"b" hSel:"tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(2)" dSel:"tr td:nth-child(2)" cSel:"$text"`
}
func main() {
p, err := seltabl.New[fixtureStruct](fixture)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for _, pp := range p {
fmt.Printf("pp %+v\n", pp)
}
}
func NewFromReader ¶
NewFromReader parses a reader into a slice of structs.
The reader must be a valid html page with a single table.
The passed in generic type must be a struct with valid selectors for the table and data (hSel, dSel, cSel).
func NewFromString ¶
func NewFromURL ¶
NewFromURL parses a URL into a slice of structs.
The URL must be a valid html page with a single table.
The passed in generic type must be a struct with valid selectors for the table and data (hSel, dSel, cSel).
Types ¶
type Decoder ¶
type Decoder[T any] struct { // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Decoder is a struct for decoding a reader into a slice of structs.
func NewDecoder ¶
func NewDecoder[T any](r io.ReadCloser) *Decoder[T]
NewDecoder parses a reader into a slice of structs.
