Collections

Tags annotated with the special 'data-collection' attribute, such as tables and lists, will be treated as
collections.

It's assumed that the member elements of that collection are the direct child descendants of the collection tag.

Scenarios

A list
A list with inline attributes but no name
A list with inline attributes and names
A table
A list, with names specified
single collection with name indicators but no data attributes
Multiple collections

A list

The data-name attribute indicates which part of the collection member to extract

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<ul data-collection="products">
  <li data-name>Car</li>
  <li data-name>Boat</li>
</ul>

Then

the page object data should be:

{products: ["Car", "Boat"]}

A list with inline attributes but no name

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<ul data-collection="products">
  <li data-condition="new">Car</li>
  <li data-condition="used">Boat</li>
</ul>

Then

the page object data should be:

{products: [{condition: 'new'}, {condition: 'used'}]}

A list with inline attributes and names

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<ul data-collection="products">
  <li data-condition="new" data-name>Car</li>
  <li data-condition="used" data-name>Boat</li>
</ul>

Then

the page object data should be:

{:products=>[
  {"Car" => {condition: "new"}},
  {"Boat"  => {condition: "used"}}]
}

A table

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<table data-collection="products">
  <tr data-condition="new">
    <td>Car</td>
  </tr>
  <tr data-condition="used">
    <td>Boat</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Then

the page object data should be:

{products: [{condition: 'new'}, {condition: 'used'}]}

A list, with names specified

The special 'data-name' attribute is used as the key for the returned set.

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<ul data-collection="products">
  <li data-condition="new" data-name>Car</li>
  <li data-condition="used" data-name>Boat</li>
</ul>

Then

the page object data should be:

{
  products: [
    {"Car" => {
      condition: "new"}
    },
    {"Boat" => {
      condition: "used"}
    }
  ]
}

single collection with name indicators but no data attributes

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<ul data-collection="products">
  <li data-name>Car</li>
  <li data-name>Boat</li>
</ul>

Then

the page object data should be:

{
  products: ['Car', 'Boat']
}

Multiple collections

Given

the following HTML fragment:

<ul data-collection="products">
  <li data-condition="new" data-name>Car</span>
  <li data-condition="used" data-name>Boat</span>
</ul>
<ul data-collection="services">
  <li data-available="yes" data-name>Wash</span>
  <li data-available="no" data-name>Engine Inspection</span>
</ul>

Then

the page object data should be:

{
  products: [
    {"Car" => {
      condition: "new"}
    },
    {"Boat" => {
      condition: "used"}
    }
  ],
  services: [
    {"Wash" => {
      available: "yes"}
    },
    {"Engine Inspection" => {
      available: "no"}
    }
  ]
}
