blaze-markup-0.5.1.5: A blazingly fast markup combinator library for Haskell

Safe HaskellNone

Text.Blaze.Internal

Contents

Description

The BlazeMarkup core, consisting of functions that offer the power to generate custom markup elements. It also offers user-centric functions, which are exposed through Blaze.

While this module is exported, usage of it is not recommended, unless you know what you are doing. This module might undergo changes at any time.

Tag, open tag, end tag, content

forall b . CustomParent ChoiceString (MarkupM b)

Custom parent

Leaf StaticString StaticString StaticString

Tag, open tag, end tag

CustomLeaf ChoiceString Bool

Custom leaf

Content ChoiceString

HTML content

forall b c . Append (MarkupM b) (MarkupM c)

Concatenation of two HTML pieces

AddAttribute StaticString StaticString ChoiceString (MarkupM a)

Add an attribute to the inner HTML. Raw key, key, value, HTML to receive the attribute.

AddCustomAttribute ChoiceString ChoiceString (MarkupM a)

Add a custom attribute to the inner HTML.

Empty

Empty HTML.

type Markup = MarkupM ()Source

Simplification of the MarkupM datatype.

data Tag Source

Type for an HTML tag. This can be seen as an internal string type used by BlazeMarkup.

Instances

data Attribute Source

Type for an attribute.

Instances

data AttributeValue Source

The type for the value part of an attribute.

Creating custom tags and attributes.

customParentSource

Arguments

:: Tag

Element tag

-> Markup

Content

-> Markup

Resulting markup

Create a custom parent element

customLeafSource

Arguments

:: Tag

Element tag

-> Bool

Close the leaf?

-> Markup

Resulting markup

Create a custom leaf element

attributeSource

Arguments

:: Tag

Raw key

-> Tag

Shared key string for the HTML attribute.

-> AttributeValue

Value for the HTML attribute.

-> Attribute

Resulting HTML attribute.

Create an HTML attribute that can be applied to an HTML element later using the ! operator.

dataAttributeSource

Arguments

:: Tag

Name of the attribute.

-> AttributeValue

Value for the attribute.

-> Attribute

Resulting HTML attribute.

From HTML 5 onwards, the user is able to specify custom data attributes.

An example:

 <p data-foo="bar">Hello.</p>

We support this in BlazeMarkup using this funcion. The above fragment could be described using BlazeMarkup with:

 p ! dataAttribute "foo" "bar" $ "Hello."

customAttributeSource

Arguments

:: Tag

Name of the attribute

-> AttributeValue

Value for the attribute

-> Attribute

Resulting HTML attribtue

Create a custom attribute. This is not specified in the HTML spec, but some JavaScript libraries rely on it.

An example:

 <select dojoType="select">foo</select>

Can be produced using:

 select ! customAttribute "dojoType" "select" $ "foo"

Converting values to Markup.

textSource

Arguments

:: Text

Text to render.

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment.

Render text. Functions like these can be used to supply content in HTML.

preEscapedTextSource

Arguments

:: Text

Text to insert

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment

Render text without escaping.

lazyTextSource

Arguments

:: Text

Text to insert

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment

A variant of text for lazy Text.

preEscapedLazyTextSource

Arguments

:: Text

Text to insert

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment

A variant of preEscapedText for lazy Text

stringSource

Arguments

:: String

String to insert.

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment.

Create an HTML snippet from a String.

preEscapedStringSource

Arguments

:: String

String to insert.

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment.

Create an HTML snippet from a String without escaping

unsafeByteStringSource

Arguments

:: ByteString

Value to insert.

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment.

Insert a ByteString. This is an unsafe operation:

  • The ByteString could have the wrong encoding.
  • The ByteString might contain illegal HTML characters (no escaping is done).

unsafeLazyByteStringSource

Arguments

:: ByteString

Value to insert

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment

Insert a lazy ByteString. See unsafeByteString for reasons why this is an unsafe operation.

Converting values to tags.

textTagSource

Arguments

:: Text

Text to create a tag from

-> Tag

Resulting tag

Create a Tag from some Text.

stringTagSource

Arguments

:: String

String to create a tag from

-> Tag

Resulting tag

Create a Tag from a String.

Converting values to attribute values.

textValueSource

Arguments

:: Text

The actual value.

-> AttributeValue

Resulting attribute value.

Render an attribute value from Text.

preEscapedTextValueSource

Arguments

:: Text

The actual value

-> AttributeValue

Resulting attribute value

Render an attribute value from Text without escaping.

lazyTextValueSource

Arguments

:: Text

The actual value

-> AttributeValue

Resulting attribute value

A variant of textValue for lazy Text

preEscapedLazyTextValueSource

Arguments

:: Text

The actual value

-> AttributeValue

Resulting attribute value

A variant of preEscapedTextValue for lazy Text

stringValue :: String -> AttributeValueSource

Create an attribute value from a String.

preEscapedStringValue :: String -> AttributeValueSource

Create an attribute value from a String without escaping.

unsafeByteStringValueSource

Arguments

:: ByteString

ByteString value

-> AttributeValue

Resulting attribute value

Create an attribute value from a ByteString. See unsafeByteString for reasons why this might not be a good idea.

unsafeLazyByteStringValueSource

Arguments

:: ByteString

ByteString value

-> AttributeValue

Resulting attribute value

Create an attribute value from a lazy ByteString. See unsafeByteString for reasons why this might not be a good idea.

Setting attributes

class Attributable h whereSource

Used for applying attributes. You should not define your own instances of this class.

Methods

(!) :: h -> Attribute -> hSource

Apply an attribute to an element.

Example:

 img ! src "foo.png"

Result:

 <img src="foo.png" />

This can be used on nested elements as well.

Example:

 p ! style "float: right" $ "Hello!"

Result:

 <p style="float: right">Hello!</p>

Modifying Markup elements

contents :: MarkupM a -> MarkupM bSource

Take only the text content of an HTML tree.

 contents $ do
     p ! $ "Hello "
     p ! $ "Word!"

Result:

 Hello World!

external :: MarkupM a -> MarkupM aSource

Mark HTML as external data. External data can be:

  • CSS data in a style tag;
  • Script data in a script tag.

This function is applied automatically when using the style or script combinators.
