Q: How to parse Html Document with Nokogiri?

Answer: In model:

1) Put this line in your gem file.

    gem 'nokogiri'

2) Require these after installing nokogiri gem in you project.

require 'open-uri' # required for this
require 'net/http' # not for this its used in my project
require 'uri'#not required for this [Its just used in my project]
require 'rubygems' #no need of it in rails project as Gems are automatically loaded.
require 'nokogiri' #no need of it in rails project as Gems are automatically loaded.

3) Write this method in your model

def self.html_parser
    html_file = open("#{Rails.root}/abc.html").read
    html_string = Nokogiri::HTML(html_file)
    html_string.css('div.facility .faci').each do |facility|
          puts facility.css('.facAltText').text
          puts facility.at_css('img')[:src]
          puts facility.at_css(".prodLink")[:href]
    end
