class Nokogiri::XSLT::Stylesheet

A Stylesheet represents an XSLT Stylesheet object. Stylesheet creation is done through Nokogiri.XSLT. Here is an example of transforming an XML::Document with a Stylesheet:

doc   = Nokogiri::XML(File.read('some_file.xml'))
xslt  = Nokogiri::XSLT(File.read('some_transformer.xslt'))

xslt.transform(doc) # => Nokogiri::XML::Document

Many XSLT transformations include serialization behavior to emit a non-XML document. For these cases, please take care to invoke the #serialize method on the result of the transformation:

doc   = Nokogiri::XML(File.read('some_file.xml'))
xslt  = Nokogiri::XSLT(File.read('some_transformer.xslt'))
xslt.serialize(xslt.transform(doc)) # => String

or use the #apply_to method, which is a shortcut for ‘serialize(transform(document))`:

doc   = Nokogiri::XML(File.read('some_file.xml'))
xslt  = Nokogiri::XSLT(File.read('some_transformer.xslt'))
xslt.apply_to(doc) # => String

See Nokogiri::XSLT::Stylesheet#transform for more information and examples.

Parse an XSLT::Stylesheet from document.

Parameters

document (Nokogiri::XML::Document) the document to be parsed.

Returns: Nokogiri::XSLT::Stylesheet

Public Instance Methods

apply_to(document, params = []) → String

Source

# File lib/nokogiri/xslt/stylesheet.rb, line 44
def apply_to(document, params = [])
  serialize(transform(document, params))
end

Apply an XSLT stylesheet to an XML::Document and serialize it properly. This method is equivalent to calling #serialize on the result of #transform.

Parameters

document is an instance of XML::Document to transform
params is an array of strings used as XSLT parameters, passed into #transform

Returns: A string containing the serialized result of the transformation.

See Nokogiri::XSLT::Stylesheet#transform for more information and examples.

Transform an XML::Document as defined by an XSLT::Stylesheet.

Parameters

document (Nokogiri::XML::Document) the document to be transformed.
params (Hash, Array) strings used as XSLT parameters.

Returns: Nokogiri::XML::Document

Example of basic transformation:

xslt = <<~XSLT
  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:param name="title"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <h1><xsl:value-of select="$title"/></h1>
        <ol>
          <xsl:for-each select="staff/employee">
            <li><xsl:value-of select="employeeId"></li>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </ol>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:stylesheet>
XSLT

xml = <<~XML
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <staff>
    <employee>
      <employeeId>EMP0001</employeeId>
      <position>Accountant</position>
    </employee>
    <employee>
      <employeeId>EMP0002</employeeId>
      <position>Developer</position>
    </employee>
  </staff>
XML

doc = Nokogiri::XML::Document.parse(xml)
stylesheet = Nokogiri::XSLT.parse(xslt)

⚠ Note that the h1 element is empty because no param has been provided!

stylesheet.transform(doc).to_xml
# => "<html><body>\n" +
#    "<h1></h1>\n" +
#    "<ol>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0001</li>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0002</li>\n" +
#    "</ol>\n" +
#    "</body></html>\n"

Example of using an input parameter hash:

⚠ The title is populated, but note how we need to quote-escape the value.

stylesheet.transform(doc, { "title" => "'Employee List'" }).to_xml
# => "<html><body>\n" +
#    "<h1>Employee List</h1>\n" +
#    "<ol>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0001</li>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0002</li>\n" +
#    "</ol>\n" +
#    "</body></html>\n"

Example using the XSLT.quote_params helper method to safely quote-escape strings:

stylesheet.transform(doc, Nokogiri::XSLT.quote_params({ "title" => "Aaron's List" })).to_xml
# => "<html><body>\n" +
#    "<h1>Aaron's List</h1>\n" +
#    "<ol>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0001</li>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0002</li>\n" +
#    "</ol>\n" +
#    "</body></html>\n"

Example using an array of XSLT parameters

You can also use an array if you want to.

stylesheet.transform(doc, ["title", "'Employee List'"]).to_xml
# => "<html><body>\n" +
#    "<h1>Employee List</h1>\n" +
#    "<ol>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0001</li>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0002</li>\n" +
#    "</ol>\n" +
#    "</body></html>\n"

Or pass an array to XSLT.quote_params:

stylesheet.transform(doc, Nokogiri::XSLT.quote_params(["title", "Aaron's List"])).to_xml
# => "<html><body>\n" +
#    "<h1>Aaron's List</h1>\n" +
#    "<ol>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0001</li>\n" +
#    "<li>EMP0002</li>\n" +
#    "</ol>\n" +
#    "</body></html>\n"
