HTML as code

A HTML generation library based on the belief that components written in a general purpose language are better than templates.

Usage

See the tests.

Some examples:

var html = H("html",
    H("head", H("title", "Hello World!"),
    H("body",
        H("h1", "Hello World!"),
        H("p", "This is a paragraph."));
Console.WriteLine(html.RenderPretty(maxColumn: 40));

This will create the following HTML (notice the maxColumn parameter which is set to a rather low value to trigger this particular formatting - a larger maxColumn value will result in output that has longer, fewer lines):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Hello World!</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello World!</h1>
        <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    </body>
</html>

How to use components? Just write a function that returns the body element:

Element MakeBody() => H("body", H("h1", "Hello World!"), H("p", "This is a paragraph."));

(notice the return type of MakeBody, this is the Element provided by the this library)

Then you can call this function in your HTML generation code:

var html = H("html",
    H("head", H("title", "Hello World!")),
    MakeBody());

This is where the "as code" part starts to matter. We can parametrize the function acting as components.

Element MakeBody(string title, string content) => H("body", H("h1", title), H("p", content));

Using this component gives us:

var html = H("html",
    H("head", H("title", "Hello World!")),
    MakeBody("Hello World!", "This is a paragraph."));

You may have noticed that text nodes are specified as strings. These strings are escaped by the library.

To insert verbatim HTML, use the R function:

var html = H("html",
    H("head", H("title", "Hello World!")),
    H("body", H("h1", "Hello World!"), R("<p>This is a paragraph.</p>")));

If you need to flatten lists of elements, use the F function:

var html = H("html",
    H("head", H("title", "Hello World!")),
    H("body",
        H("h1", "Hello World!"),
        F(H("p", "This is a paragraph."), H("p", "Another paragraph."))));

... or you could just use a component that returns a IEnumerable<Element> instead of Element.

F is just a helper function to quickly create a list of elements.
