CapybaraScraper

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/capybara_scraper. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capybara_scraper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capybara_scraper

To use this gem you'll want to require 'capybara_scraper' and then create a Browser object which you can call .visit on to go to specific urls. Once you visit a page, you can call .page on the browser object and that will return a Nokogiri node structure for the html of the page.

@browser = CapybaraScraper::Browser.new
@browser.visit("https://www.islands.com/top-20-best-islands-to-live-on/")
doc = @browser.page #=> returns HTMl doc parsed by Nokogiri
doc.css("#article-body") #=> returns Nokogiri data structure for nodes matching the id 'article-body'

If you're transitioning from using Nokogiri without integrating capybara and poltergeist, you can do something like this as well:

doc = CapybaraScraper::Browser.new.visit("https://www.islands.com/top-20-best-islands-to-live-on/").page

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
