this meteor server code uses cheerio , tries extract text 'john', tried few different ways below no avail.
console.log(e.next.children.eq(1).text()); console.log(e.next.children.last().text()); console.log(e.next.contents().last().text());
how can done cheerio? thanks
resobj.$("table").contents().filter(function() { return this.nodetype == 8; }).each(function(i, e) { if (e.nodevalue.trim() == 'contacts') { console.log(e.next.contents('td').eq(1).text()); //<---------- console.log(e.nextsibling.nodetype); // returns 3 } }); <!-- contacts --> <tr> <td class="label" valign="top" align="right" style="white-space:nowrap"> names of people: </td> <td class="displayvalue" valign="top"> john </td> </tr>
cheerio jquery (for part), why building complex structure when need is:
$('table .displayvalue').each(function () { console.log($(this).text()); }); let's break down code have:
// tables contents, filter data resobj.$("table").contents().filter(function() { // return comments? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-us/docs/web/api/node/nodetype ... should using === return this.nodetype == 8; // loop through of filtered elements }).each(function(i, e) { // check string of comment text want --- bad style if (e.nodevalue.trim() == 'contacts') { console.log(e.next.contents('td').eq(1).text()); //<---------- console.log(e.nextsibling.nodetype); // returns 3 } }); so reasons why going through these loops, selector has class accessible?
