# Microformats2

A [Microformats2](http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2) parser for Elixir.

## Installation

This parser is [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/packages/microformats2):

1. Add microformats2 to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

   ```elixir
   def deps do
     [{:microformats2, "~> 0.3.1"}]
   end
   ```

2. If you want to directly `parse` from URLs, add `tesla` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

   ```elixir
   def deps do
     [{:microformats2, "~> 0.3.1"},
      {:tesla, "~> 1.3.0"}]
   end
   ```

## Usage

Give the parser an HTML string and the URL it was fetched from:

```elixir
Microformats2.parse("""
<div class="h-card">
  <img class="u-photo" alt="photo of Mitchell"
        src="https://webfwd.org/content/about-experts/300.mitchellbaker/mentor_mbaker.jpg"/>
  <a class="p-name u-url"
      href="http://blog.lizardwrangler.com/">Mitchell Baker</a>
  (<a class="u-url" href="https://twitter.com/MitchellBaker">@MitchellBaker</a>)
  <span class="p-org">Mozilla Foundation</span>
  <p class="p-note">
    Mitchell is responsible for setting the direction and scope of the Mozilla Foundation and its activities.
  </p>
  <span class="p-category">Strategy</span>
  <span class="p-category">Leadership</span>
</div>
""", "http://example.org")
```

It will parse the object to a structure like that:

```elixir
%{
  "items" => [
    %{
      "properties" => %{
        "category" => ["Strategy", "Leadership"],
        "name" => ["Mitchell Baker"],
        "note" => ["Mitchell is responsible for setting the direction and scope of the Mozilla Foundation and its activities."],
        "org" => ["Mozilla Foundation"],
        "photo" => [
          %{
            "alt" => "photo of Mitchell",
            "value" => "https://webfwd.org/content/about-experts/300.mitchellbaker/mentor_mbaker.jpg"
          }
        ],
        "url" => ["http://blog.lizardwrangler.com/",
         "https://twitter.com/MitchellBaker"]
      },
      "type" => ["h-card"]
    }
  ],
  "rel-urls" => %{},
  "rels" => %{}
}
```

You can also provide HTML trees already parsed with Floki:

```elixir
Microformats2.parse(Floki.parse("<div class=\"h-card\">...</div>"), "http://example.org")
```

Or URLs if you have Tesla installed:

```elixir
Microformats2.parse("http://example.org")
```

## Dependencies

We need [Floki](https://github.com/philss/floki) for HTML parsing and optionally
[Tesla](https://github.com/teamon/tesla) for fetching URLs.
