Get link and href text from html doc with Nokogiri & Ruby?

Question

I\'m trying to use the nokogiri gem to extract all the urls on the page as well their link text and store the link text and url in a hash.

    &

Another way:

h = doc.css('a[href]').each_with_object({}) { |n, h| h[n.text.strip] = n['href'] }
# yields {"Foo"=>"#foo", "Bar"=>"#bar"}

And if you're worried that you might have the same text linking to different things then you collect the hrefs in arrays:

h = doc.css('a[href]').each_with_object(Hash.new { |h,k| h[k] = [ ]}) { |n, h| h[n.text.strip] << n['href'] }
# yields {"Foo"=>["#foo"], "Bar"=>["#bar"]}
