HTML DSL AFAICT

Hiccup

Pkg.add("Hiccup")

Hiccup.jl is a super-simple library designed to make making HTML easy in Julia. It's heavily inspired by Clojure's Hiccup DSL.

julia> using Hiccup

julia> Hiccup.div("#foo.bar", "hi")
<div class="bar" id="foo">hi</div>

HTML nodes are stored as the Node{T} type which renders itself smartly.

julia> Node(:img, "#id.class1.class2", Dict(:src=>"http://www.com"))
<img src="http://www.com" id="id" class="class1 class2" />

julia> tag(ans)
:img

A bunch of utility functions, with the names of tags, are provided which make this a bit more legible. You can import more with @tags:

julia> @tags img, svg

julia> svg("#id.class1.class2", Dict(:src=>"http://www.com"))
<svg class="class1 class2" src="http://www.com" id="id"></svg>

And that's basically it.

hiccup.jl's Issues

Hiccup produces a set of warnings on Julia 0.4 - tag a new version?

Maybe it is time to tag a new version so that new users on Julia 0.4 have better out-of-box experience? All those warnings are already fixed on master.

th, colgroup (table tags) should be exported

Please export th and colgroup ; other table tags are caption, col, thead, tbody, tfoot.

Broken on 0.6

I'm getting

Tag a new version?

The last released version doesn't work on the nightly. It would be nice to just put a new tag on this.

adding attributes containing dashes

Hello. This looks like a useful utility for those generating HTML server-side. I need to be able to create attributes that contain a dash in them, such as the following. Currently, this is super inconvenient. I'm wondering might be a good alternative?

julia> button(Dict(Symbol("hx-post")=>"/clicked",Symbol("hx-swap")=>"outerHTML"), "Click Me")
<button hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-post="/clicked">Click Me</button>

Precompilation broken on master

The failure is on the exporttags line (Hiccup.jl:123)

Hiccup.div conflicts with Base.div

div is an export of Hiccup.jl, but is also a part of Base. In newer versions of Julia this export is not useful because it is shadowed by Base.div, and the result is that neither Base.div nor Hiccup.div can be used unqualified. Probably the best solution is to export div under a different name.

Nested divs with id errorv

Hiccup could not provide wrigth nested divs.
sorry by html output...

Ex:
julia> div("#outer",div("#medium", div("#inner")))
"div id="outer" >div id="medium" >div>#inner /div>/div>/div>"

julia> div("#outer",div("#medium", div("#inner","")))
"div id="outer">div id="medium">div id="inner">/div>/div>/div>"

Generating a script tag containing JavaScript code

I tried to generate a script tag that contains a JavaScript code like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
console.log(1);
</script>

However, I couldn't find a way because script doesn't work as I expected when it takes a Dict argument:

julia> using Hiccup

julia> @tags script
script (generic function with 1 method)

julia> script("console.log(1);")
<script>console.log(1);</script>

julia> script("console.log(1);", Dict(:type=>"text/javascript"))
<script type="text/javascript" class="log"></script>

Is this an intended behavior or a bug?

Deprecate exported tags?

It seems to me that it's a lot more flexible for a package to simply declare the @tags that it uses than to have Hiccup export a fixed list of them. Thoughts?

Tag new release?

On v0.5, tests don't pass, but on master it does. Could you tag a new release please?
