ElementList¶

class splinter.element_list.ElementList(list, driver=None, find_by=None, query=None)¶

Bases: object

Collection of elements.

Each member of the collection is by default an instance of ElementAPI.

Beyond the traditional list methods, ElementList provides some other methods, listed below.

There is a peculiar behavior on ElementList: you never get an IndexError. Instead, you get an ElementDoesNotExist exception when trying to access a non-existent item:

>>> element_list = ElementList([])
>>> element_list[0] # raises ElementDoesNotExist

property first¶

An alias to the first element of the list.

Example

>>> assert element_list[0] == element_list.first

is_empty() → bool¶

Check if the ElementList is empty.

Returns:: True if the list is empty, else False
Return type:: bool

property last¶

An alias to the last element of the list.

Example

>>> assert element_list[-1] == element_list.last
