The checking is a bit lenient at the moment: * some elements can't contain itself as any descendant: at the moment we look only at direct children. This allows some (quite exotic) invalid html documents. * some elements change their permitted content based on attributes: we don't know at compile time the attributes, therefore we always allow content as if all relevant attributes are set. * some elements can't be brethren: we look only at parent child relations, therefore if you don't specify the parent, it'll compile Never the less: these cases are seldom. In the vast majority of cases you're only allowed to construct valid html. Let's talk about /modularity/: Rosetrees of html are just ordinary haskell values which can be composed or abstracted over: >>> let table = table_ . map (tr_ . map td_) >>> :t table table :: ('Td ?> a) => [[a]] -> 'Table > ['Tr > ['Td > a]] >>> table [["A","B"],["C"]]

A	B
C

>>> import Data.Char >>> html_ . body_ . table $ map (\c -> [[c], show $ ord c]) ['a'..'d']

a	97
b	98
c	99
d	100

And here's an example module @ {\-\# LANGUAGE TypeOperators \#-\} {\-\# LANGUAGE DataKinds \#-\} module Main where import Html import qualified Html.Attribute as A main :: IO () main = print . page $ map td_ [1..(10::Int)] page :: 'Tr ?> a => a -> 'Div :> ( 'Div > [Char] # 'Div > [Char] # 'Table > 'Tr > a ) page tds = div_A [A.class_ "qux", A.id_ "baz"] ( div_ "foo" # div_ "bar" # table_ (tr_ tds) ) @ Please note that the type of page is inferable, so ask ghc-mod or whatever you use to write it for you. If you choose not to write the types, you don't need the language extensions. All text will be automatically html escaped: >>> i_ "&" & >>> div_A [A.id_ ">"] ()

If you want to opt out, wrap your types into the 'Raw' constructor. This will increase performance, but can be only used with trusted input. You can use this e.g. to embed some blaze-html code into type-of-html. >>> i_ (Raw "") Last and fast: /performance/! Don't look any further, there is no option for faster html generation. type-of-html is up to 10 times faster than blaze-html, which was until now the fastest generation library and the foundation block of lucid and shakespeare. Wait! 10 times faster? How is this possible? We supercompile lots of parts of the generation process. This is possible thanks to the new features of GHC 8.2: AppendSymbol. We represent tags as kinds and remove according to the html specification omittable closing tags with type families. Afterwards we map these tags to (a :: [Symbol]) and then fold all neighbouring Proxies with AppendSymbol. Afterwards we retrieve the Proxies with symbolVal which will be embedded in the executable as CString. All this happens at compile time. At runtime we do only generate the content and mconcat. For example, if you write: > renderText $ tr_ (td_ "test") The compiler does optimize it to the following (we don't know at compile time if we need to escape the string): > mconcat [ Data.Text.Lazy.unpackCString# ""# > , escape (Data.Text.Lazy.unpackCString# "test"#) > , Data.Text.Lazy.unpackCString# ""#) > ] If you write > renderText $ div_ (div_ ()) The compiler does optimize it to the following: > mconcat [ Data.Text.Lazy.unpackCString# "
"# ] Note that optional ending tags were chopped off (tr, td). This sort of compiletime optimization isn't for free, it'll increase compilation times. -} module Html ( renderString , renderText , renderByteString , type (>)(..) , type (:>)(..) , addAttributes , type (#)(..) , (#) , type (?>) , Raw(..) , Convert(..) , Converted , Attribute , Element(..) , module Html.Element ) where import Html.Reify import Html.Convert import Html.Element import Html.Type import Html.Attribute (addAttributes) -- | Orphan show instances to faciliate ghci development. instance Document (a > b) String => Show (a > b) where show = renderString instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-} Document (a > b) String => Show [a > b] where show = renderString instance Document (a:> b) String => Show (a:> b) where show = renderString instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-} Document (a:> b) String => Show [a:> b] where show = renderString instance Document (a # b) String => Show (a # b) where show = renderString instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-} Document (a # b) String => Show [a # b] where show = renderString
