This repo holds a few simple experiments I do on my spare time to see how easy it is to create a DOM/JS environment with/for Ruby. The code is based on Taka and the V8 JS engine as provided by TheRubyRacer.
It goes without saying that the lib is far from usable.
To install all dependencies run: bundle install
See the tests and examples directory for examples.
Here's a quickie:
require_relative 'init'
html = <<EOHTML
<html>
<head>
<title>My title!</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( '<h1>Hello</h1>' );
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EOHTML
window = DOM::Window.new( html )
# you'll see the updated HTML code
puts window.document.to_html
puts '-' * 80
# grab the automatically added element
h1 = window.eval( 'document.getElementsByTagName( "h1" )[0]' )
puts 'The first H1 is: ' + h1
answer = ( h1 == window.document.getElementsByTagName( 'h1' )[0] ) ? 'Yes' : 'No'
puts 'Does it work both ways? ' + answer
