This package provides a versatile Component templating interface primarily intended to fill the role of HTML and CSS templating for Toolips 0.3 +.
using Pkg; Pkg.add("ToolipsServables")
# or with the web-framework `Toolips`:
using Pkg; Pkg.add("Toolips")
```julia
using ToolipsServables
# using Toolips.Components
# creating components
myd::Component{:div} = div("example", text = "hello world!")
myheading::Component{:h1} = h1("myheading", text = "example")
elements::Vector{<:AbstractComponent} = [p("example", text = e) for e in 1:10]
# composing components
style!(myheading, "color" => "white", "font-size" => 10pt)
push!(myd, myheading)
set_children!(myheading, elements)
# writing components
buff = IOBuffer()
write!(buff, myd)
str = ""
write!(str, myd)
using Toolips
c = Toolips.SpoofConnection()
write!(c, myd)ToolipsServables provides an extensible HTML and CSS templating platform centralized on parametric typing and extensibility. This package provides a simple API for creating beautiful websites to write to responses through both files and a julianized API.
Alongside an interface for templating HTML files within Julia, ToolipsServables also includes a parametric File type. Files will convert into a read String of themselves when string is used on them.
f = File("my.txt")
string(f)
"hello world!"With Toolips, these types can be interpolated (or simply served) very easily!
The most crucial goal of this package is to provide a parametric HTML templating framework for Julia. This is all facilitated through the Component. The Component is equivalent to an HTML element. For example we have the HTML div and the ToolipsServables div:
using ToolipsServables
container = div("container", contenteditable = true, text = "hello world")<div id="container" contenteditable="true">hello world</div>Components are meant to be written to some output, or transformed into a String to be displayed as HTML. Using a few simple functions, we are able to compose and style these components to create our page. The main functions for these tasks are push!, style!, and occassionally set_children!. Yes, it really is that simple! Here is a simple page composition:
mainbody = body("bod")
style!(mainbody, "padding" => 25perc)
mainheader = div("myheader", align = "center")
style!(mainpadding, "background-color" => "darkgray")
message1 = h3("m", text = "you made it!")
message2 = h6("messag", text = "welcome to my HTML website!")
push!(mainheader, message1, message2)
push!(mainbody, mainheader)
touch("example.html"); open("example.html", "w") do o::IO
write!(o, mainbody)
endAlong with regular HTML element components, ToolipsServables also includes KeyFrames for creating @keyframe CSS animations and Style for creating style classes with CSS. To apply a Style or Animation, we simply use style! Style will simply take style pairs similar to style!, whereas KeyFrames must be mutated with keyframes!.
exampleclass = style("div.myclass", "color" => "blue", "font-weight" => "bold")
comp = div("examplediv", text = "sample")
style!(comp, exampleclass)
fadein = keyframes("fadein")
keyframes!(fadein, 0percent, "opacity" => 0percent, "transform" => scale(1.1))
keyframes!(fadein, 50percent, "opacity" => 100percent, "transform" => scale(1))
style!(exampleclass, fadein)
# or
# style!(comp, fadein)
# make sure to write the CSS!
write!("", fadein, exampleclass, comp)Here is a detailed templating example which includes several forms of templating:
using ToolipsServables
# (From Toolips ?):
#using Toolips.Components
# creating components:
maindiv::Component{:div} = div("centered", align = "center")
greeter_heading::Component{:h3} = h3("greeter", text = "hello world!")
# creating a style
bgstyle::Style = style("greeter_style", "color" => "white",
"font-weight" => "bold")
# styling a component directly:
style!(maindiv, "background-color" => "purple", "margin-top" => 5px)
leavebutton = button("leave", text = "leave")
gobutton = button("go", text = "go!")
style!(gobutton, leavebutton)
# creting styles
post_style = style("div.postbox", "border-radius" => 5px, "border" => "5px solid black")
fadein = keyframes("fadein")
# vv (or 0percent)
keyframes!(fadein, from, "opacity" => 0percent)
# vv (or 100percent)
keyframes!(fadein, to, "opacity" => 100percent)
style!(post_style, fadein)
# composing a body:
mainbod = body("mainbody")
# animation
style!(mainbod, fadein)
# inline styles
style!(mainbod, "padding" => 10percent, "background-color" => "lightblue")
# generating post divs
posts = ["hello world!", "post example"]
for (e, post) in enumerate(posts)
comp = div("post$(e)")
style!(comp, post_style)
posthead = h4("head$(e)", text = "$(e)")
postbody = p("body$(e)", text = post)
style!(postbody, "font-size" => 13pt, "color" => "darkgray")
push!(comp, posthead, postbody)
# push! to body:
push!(mainbod, comp)
end
# components can be written with `write!` or turned to a `String` with `string`
# <:IO, <:Toolips.AbstractConnection, `String`
@info string(mainbod)
result = write!("", post_style, fadein, mainbod)Finally, ToolipsServables also provides parsing for these components via htmlcomponent.
comp = "<div id=\\"sample\\">hello</div>"
htmlcomponent(comp)["sample"]["text"]
"hello"There are several ways to contribute to the ParametricProcesses package.
- submitting issues
- creating packages which use
ToolipsServables - forking and pull-requesting your changes to this code
- trying other chifi projects.
- contributing to other chifi projects (gives more attention here).
We are not super picky on contributions, as the goal of chifi is to get more people involved in computing. However, if you want your code merged there are definitely a few things to be aware of before contributing to this package.
- If there is no issue for what you want to do, create an issue.
- If you have multiple issues, submit multiple issues rather than typing each issue into one issue.
- Make sure the issue you are solving or feature you want to implement is still feasible on Unstable -- this is the top-level development branch which represents the latest unstable changes.
- Please format your documentation using the technique presented in the rest of the file.
- Make sure Pkg.test("ToolipsServables") works with your version of ToolipsServables before making a pull-request.
