FSharp.ViewEngine

A minimal, fast view engine for F#. Inspired by Giraffe.ViewEngine, Feliz.ViewEngine, Oxpecker.ViewEngine, and Bolero.

FSharp.ViewEngine combines ideas from several F# view engines into a clean, unified DSL:

  • Computation expression syntax (like Oxpecker.ViewEngine and Bolero) for building elements
  • Feliz-style single sequence of attributes and child elements — no separate attribute and children lists
  • Attributes prefixed with underscore by convention (like Giraffe.ViewEngine, e.g. _class, _id, _hxGet), giving clean syntax and nice syntax highlighting
  • Mixed yielding in computation expressions — you can yield strings, elements, and attributes in any order without needing a special _children attribute

The result is a DSL that is as minimal and fast as possible while remaining expressive and type-safe.

Documentation site built using FSharp.ViewEngine available at https://fsharpviewengine.meiermade.com.

See sln/src/Docs for the source code.
