"""
Return a new Item Loader for populating the given item. If no item is
given, one is instantiated automatically using the class in
:attr:`default_item_class`.
When instantiated with a :param ``selector`` parameter the :class:`ItemLoader` class
provides convenient mechanisms for extracting data from web pages
using parsel_ selectors.
:param item: The item instance to populate using subsequent calls to
:meth:`~ItemLoader.add_xpath`, :meth:`~ItemLoader.add_css`,
or :meth:`~ItemLoader.add_value`.
:type item: :class:`dict` object
:param selector: The selector to extract data from, when using the
:meth:`add_xpath` (resp. :meth:`add_css`) or :meth:`replace_xpath`
(resp. :meth:`replace_css`) method.
:type selector: :class:`~parsel.selector.Selector` object
The item, selector and the remaining keyword arguments are
assigned to the Loader context (accessible through the :attr:`context` attribute).
.. attribute:: item
The item object being parsed by this Item Loader.
This is mostly used as a property so when attempting to override this
value, you may want to check out :attr:`default_item_class` first.
.. attribute:: context
The currently active :ref:`Context <loaders-context>` of this Item Loader.
Refer to <loaders-context> for more information about the Loader Context.
.. attribute:: default_item_class
An Item class (or factory), used to instantiate items when not given in
the ``__init__`` method.
.. warning:: Currently, this factory/class needs to be
callable/instantiated without any arguments.
If you are using ``dataclasses``, please consider the following
alternative::
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Optional
@dataclass
class Product:
name: Optional[str] = field(default=None)
price: Optional[float] = field(default=None)
.. attribute:: default_input_processor
The default input processor to use for those fields which don't specify
one.
.. attribute:: default_output_processor
The default output processor to use for those fields which don't specify
one.
.. attribute:: selector
The :class:`~parsel.selector.Selector` object to extract data from.
It's the selector given in the ``__init__`` method.
This attribute is meant to be read-only.
