Quick start

Quick start

Install with Composer:

composer require phpgt/cssxpath

Here we can translate a selector by constructing Translator and casting it to a string:

use Gt\CssXPath\Translator;

$translator = new Translator("form label>input[name=email]");
echo (string)$translator;
// .//form//label/input[@name="email"]

The constructor accepts three main arguments:

• cssSelector (required): selector string to translate.
• prefix (optional, default .//): XPath prefix used at the start of each selector.
• htmlMode (optional, default true): whether element/attribute names are matched in HTML mode.

You can also call asXPath() if you prefer an explicit method name:

$xpath = (new Translator(".c-menu li.selected"))->asXPath();

Next, we'll learn about using with DOMDocument.
