hatmill - HTML generation DSL for Go

License Gitlab pipeline status Go Report Card GoDoc Badge count

hatmill provides a simple set of types and helper functions for writing HTML in plain Go code, without having to deal with any template languages. It is not spectacularly fast, but is comparable in simple cases to the html/template package; run go test -bench=. -benchmem for proof. hatmill “templates” are arguably easier to read and write than many template languages.

hatmill uses semantic versioning.

Installation

There are three necessary packages:

  • gitlab.codemonkeysoftware.net/b/hatmill
  • gitlab.codemonkeysoftware.net/b/hatmill/attribute
  • gitlab.codemonkeysoftware.net/b/hatmill/element

Install them as you would any other Go package, with go get or whatever. gitlab.codemonkeysoftware.net/b/hatmill is a Go module and so will play nicely with Go ≥ 1.11.

Usage

Basic types are in gitlab.codemonkeysoftware.net/b/hatmill. The attribute and element subpackages contain helper functions for HTML5 attributes and elements. See the Example function in hatmill_test.go.

Hacking

If there is a missing attribute or element helper function, describe it in defs.json and run go generate in the repository root. If you can't figure out what you need to know by reading defs.json, internal/codegen/*, attribute/*, and element/*, then pester me to improve the documentation.
