hydrant

Very simple markup combinators for constructing HTML.

  • No typeclasses
  • Few intermediate datatypes
  • Nothing but Text, Builders and newtypes
  • No knowledge of any HTML standards
  • Tag, attribute, tree construction combinators
  • Entity escaping functions
  • No pretty-printing, as injecting whitespace alters the rendering semantics
    • Feel free to use one as a post-processor though
    • Maybe hydrant could provide one as an optional thing

Usage

Hydrant is not meant to be a particularly nice DSL, just a simple one. If you want to construct some dirt-simple HTML in a small application, or render HTML from a templating language, you're in the right place.

module HydrantDemo where

import Data.Foldable
import Data.Text
import qualified Data.Text as T
import qualified Data.Text.Lazy as LT
import Hydrant
import System.IO (FilePath)

data Foo
  = FooPara Text [Foo]
  | FooImg FilePath

view :: Foo -> Html
view f =
  case f of
    FooPara t foos ->
      parentNode (Tag "p") [] (textNode t <> fold (fmap view foos))
    FooImg fp ->
      voidNode (Tag "img") [
          Attribute (AttributeKey "src") (AttributeValue (T.pack fp))
        ]

renderFooHtml :: Foo -> LT.Text
renderFooHtml =
  toLazyText . view
