Sneeze

Render Elixir data-structures to HTML. Inspired by Hiccup.

Installation

Sneeze is available from Hex.pm:

def deps do
  [{:sneeze, "~> 1.1"}]
end

Usage

The Sneeze.render/1 function will render a list of 'nodes' to html. A node can be any of:

A tag: [:br]
A tag with a body: [:p, "hello"]
A tag with attributes: [:input, %{type: "text", class: "form-field", name: "widget-input"}]
A tag with attributes and a body: [:p, %{class: "article-content"}, "hello"]
A bare, stringable node: 22
A "raw html" node, which will not be escaped: [:__@raw_html, "<span>derp</span>"]

Of course, the body of any node can be an arbitrary number of other nodes, like so: [:p, %{id: "status"}, [:span, "woo"]]

Examples

Sneeze.render([:p %{class: "greeting"} "hello world"])
# => <p class="greeting">hello world</p>

Sneeze.render([:br])
# => <br />

Sneeze.render([:span, "<a>will be escaped</a>"])
# => <span>&lt;a&gt;will be escaped&lt;/a&gt</span>;

Sneeze.render([:div, [:__@raw_html, "<span>totally not escaped</span>"]])
# => <div><span>totally not escaped</span></div>

Sneeze.render(
  [:ul, %{class: "super-cool-list"},
   [:li,
    [:a, %{href: "/"},        "Home"]],
   [:li,
    [:a, %{href: "/about"},   "About"]],
   [:li,
    [:a, %{href: "/contact"}, "Contact"]]]
)
# => <ul class="super-cool-list"><li><a href="/">Home</a></li>...</ul

Sneeze.render([
  [:__@raw_html, "<!DOCTYPE html>"],
  [:head,
   [:title, "wat"]],
  [:body,
   [:div, %{id: "main-content"}, "hello"]]
]
# => <!DOCTYPE html><head><title>wat</title></head><body><div id="main-content">hello</div></body>
