FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Usage

The Scraper plugin exposes a full-featured crawler object to your Twig template, allowing you to fetch, parse, and filter DOM elements from a remote source document.

Instantiating a client

When invoking the plugin, you can choose whether to use SimpleHtmlDom or Symfony components to instantiate your crawler:

I generally recommend using the Symfony components; they are more powerful and resilient to malformed source code. (The SimpleHtmlDom crawler is included to provide backwards compatibility with Craft 2 projects.)

Using the Symfony client

When you opt for Symfony components, the get method instantiates a full BrowserKit client, giving you access to all the BrowserKit and DomCrawler methods.

You can iterate over the DOM elements from your source document like this:
