Transform via getElementContent

[LydiaF]

Hi @ibrod83,

Thank you so much for this package, it is extremely useful.

I have a feature suggestion: ability to return objects from getElementContent. This way we can keep the data together.

At the moment I'm doing this...

const x = new CollectContent('a[id="some_id"]', {
    name: 'x',
    getElementContent: (a, b, c) => {
      const href = c.attr('href').substr(7)
      const html = c.html()
      return `${html}___${href}` // would like to return { html, href }
    },
  })

Something unexpected happens when you try to return an object, you get what you would get if you didn't have the getElementContent option.

Thanks for considering!

Lydia

Hey, I'm not really working on this package anymore. Do you maybe want to do it yourself and create a PR?

hey @LydiaF! Check out the latest version; I had wanted the same thing and submitted a PR to return all data types for getElementContent
