A Ruby DSL to generate HTML and CSS.
Inspired by markaby with some specialized additions for certain kinds of elements.
require 'paggio/now'
# html! avoids outputting the doctype and <html> tags
html! do
div.content! do
p <<-EOS
I like trains
EOS
end
end
This will output:
<div id="content">
<p>
I like trains.
</p>
</div>
Inspired by SCSS with some nice CSS unit handling monkey-patching.
require 'paggio/now'
css do
rule '.content' do
background :black
color :white
rule '&:hover' do
background :white
color :black
end
rule '.stuff' do
font size: 50.px
end
end
end
This will output:
.content {
background: black;
color: white;
}
.content .stuff {
font-size: 50px;
}
.content:hover {
background: white;
color: black;
}
Because why not.
require 'sinatra'
require 'paggio'
get '/' do
Paggio.html do
head do
title "Yo, I'm on Sinatra"
style do
rule 'html', 'body' do
width 100.%
height 100.%
# reset some stuff
margin 0
padding 0
position :absolute
top 0
background :black
color :white
end
rule '#content' do
width 50.%
height 100.%
margin 0, :auto
border left: [3.px, :solid, :white],
right: [3.px, :solid, :white]
text align: :center
font size: 23.px
rule '& > div' do
padding 20.px
end
end
end
end
body do
div.content! do
div 'Hello world!'
end
end
end
end
You'll need the kramdown
gem.
require 'paggio/now'
require 'paggio/markdown'
html do
markdown <<-MD
Here comes a bunch of **shitty** markdown.
MD
end
Since paggio does internal heredoc indentation pruning, you don't have to worry about that.
You'll need the --pre sourcify
gem and the opal
gem.
require 'paggio/now'
require 'paggio/script'
html do
head do
script src: 'js/opal.js'
script src: 'js/browser.js'
script do
alert 'Yo dawg'
end
end
end
Don't you just love instance_eval
? Well, I do, but sometimes it's not the
best tool for the job, in fact you cannot call local methods or access instance
variables inside the DSLs since they're evaluated in another context.
Well, fear not, doing that is as easy as adding a parameter to the DSL block.
class Page
def initialize(title, content)
@title = title
@content = content
end
def to_html
Paggio.html do |_|
_.html do
_.head do
title @title
end
_.body do
@content
end
end
end
end
end
puts Page.new("foo", "bar").to_html
Because HAML, SCSS and CoffeeScript are too mainstream.
On a serious note, why have templating systems and syntax sugar when you can just write Ruby?
