Casperjs iterating over a list of links using casper.each

Question

I am trying to use Casperjs to get a list of links from a page, then open each of those links, and add to an array object a particular type of data from those pages.

Answer 1

If I understand your problem correctly, to solve, give items[] a global scope. In your code, I would have done the following:

var items = [];
this.each(listOfLinks, function(self, link) {

    var eachPageHref = link.href;

    console.log("Creating new array in object for " + eachPageHref);

    object[date][eachPageHref] = []; // array for page to store names

    self.thenOpen(eachPageHref, function () {

        this.evaluate(function() {
        // Perform DOM manipulation to get items
        items.push(whateverThisItemIs);
      });
    });

Hope this helps.
