Websitegenerator

websitegenerator is a basic static html/css generator.

Use cases:

• Create templates for repetitive HTML and call them simply with code and parameters
• On-the-fly HTML/CSS generation for HTTP servers (Note: generating and stringifying is pretty expensive and unoptimised)

Writing HTML and CSS is very close to actually writing it, so no steep learning curve is required for learning this library.

Example:

import websitegenerator
# Css:
# ----
var css: CssStyleSheet = newCssStyleSheet("styles.css")

const
    # Sugar css class:
    classCenter: CssElement = ".center-everything"{
        "margin" := "auto",
        "text-align" := "center"
    } # this is a class because the name starts with a `.`

    # Normal css class:
    classArticleBox: CssElement = newCssClass("article-box",
        # no need here for the `.`, because it is already declaring a class
        backgroundColour(rgb(69, 69, 69)),
        colour(White),
        border("10px")
    )

# Both are classes:
assert classArticleBox.isClass
assert classCenter.isClass

css.add(
    # Sugar css element:
    "h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6"{
        "text-decoration" := "underline"
    },

    # Classes from above:
    # you need to add them here, so they generate in the `styles.css`
    classCenter,
    classArticleBox
)


# Html:
# -----

var html: HtmlDocument = newHtmlDocument("index.html") # creating empty document

# Adding to the HTML head:
html.addToHead(
    charset("utf-8") # will generate `<meta charset="utf-8" />`
)

# Adding to HTML body:
# Note: `html.add()` and `html.addToBody()` are equivalent
html.add(
    article(
        h1("Important article"),
        p("Some very crucial stuff is happening.\nRead with caution!")
        # `\n` will be replaced with `<br />` in `p(...)` automatically
    ),
    footer("Thank you for reading")
)

# Add stylesheet to html:
html.setStyle(css)

# Sets the target directory:
setTargetDirectory(".output")

# Write css and html to disk:
css.writeFile()
html.writeFile()
