CSS selector :has pseudo-class

[Bilge]

Description
It would be very useful to have the :has pseudo-class. It is currently in working draft state, although JQuery implemented it years ago.

Example

$crawler->filter('.foo:has(.bar)');

yes but my hopes are low

[nicolas-grekas]

Hope doesn't work, sending PRs does :)
Would you like having a look? If nobody cares to implement this, we'd better close.

[Bilge]

I dunno. I'm hoping really hard, here.

[momala454]

i have no knowledge in xpath or how this library works, and i'm currently using another (outdated) library. The missing :has was one thing that prevented me from using it
i don't know if :contains() is supported, which is also a selector i would like

[nicolas-grekas]

I don't know either. Might be a nice opportunity to learn about it if you're up for having a look.

[momala454]

the last PR i submitted to other projects were ignored, it does not make me want to learn xpath and symfony css selector to make a new pr :)

[nicolas-grekas]

Sorry about that 😞
This doesn't change the dynamics of OSS: ppl that need something are the best to contribute. Who else otherwise? 🤷

Hello? This issue is about to be closed if nobody replies.

has() is now supported in Chrome and Opera since August/September of this year.

https://github.com/scrapy/cssselect (the python code from which the CssSelector component was ported) has added support for :has() in their 1.2.0 release

Relevant PR: scrapy/cssselect#115.
