module REXML::Node

Represents a node in the tree. Nodes are never encountered except as superclasses of other objects. Nodes have siblings.

Public Instance Methods

each_recursive() { |node| ... } click to toggle source

Visit all subnodes of self recursively

# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 53
def each_recursive(&block) # :yields: node
  self.elements.each {|node|
    block.call(node)
    node.each_recursive(&block)
  }
end
find_first_recursive() { |node| ... } click to toggle source

Find (and return) first subnode (recursively) for which the block evaluates to true. Returns nil if none was found.

# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 62
def find_first_recursive(&block) # :yields: node
  each_recursive {|node|
    return node if block.call(node)
  }
  return nil

# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 38
def indent to, ind
                    if @parent and @parent.context and not @parent.context[:indentstyle].nil? then
                            indentstyle = @parent.context[:indentstyle]
                    else
                            indentstyle = '  '
                    end
                    to << indentstyle*ind unless ind<1
end
index_in_parent() click to toggle source

Returns the position that self holds in its parent's array, indexed from 1.

# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 71
def index_in_parent
  parent.index(self)+1
end
next_sibling_node() click to toggle source

@return the next sibling (nil if unset)

# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 10
def next_sibling_node
  return nil if @parent.nil?
  @parent[ @parent.index(self) + 1 ]
end
parent?() click to toggle source
# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 47
def parent?
  false;
end
previous_sibling_node() click to toggle source

@return the previous sibling (nil if unset)

# File lib/rexml/node.rb, line 16
def previous_sibling_node
  return nil if @parent.nil?
  ind = @parent.index(self)
  return nil if ind == 0
  @parent[ ind - 1 ]
end
