Swift library for generating HTML using Result Builder

Features

  • Clean & clear syntax
  • Composable & extensible
  • Conditional and iteration support
  • Underlying generation with libxml2 for always valid results
  • Built-in convenient builders and modifiers for common cases
  • Raw HTML integration

Usage

Tree builder

An HTML tree is built by combining Node which is a protocol implemented on Element and String

let tree = Element.html(head: {
    Element.metadata(charset: "UTF-8")
    Element(name: "title") { "Hello world" }
}, body: {
    Element.division {
        Element(name: "h1") { "Hello" }
        Element.paragraph { "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, <consectetur> adipiscing elit, sed & eiusmod." }
    }
})
print(tree.renderHTML())

Will output:

<html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>Hello world</title></head><body><div><h1>Hello</h1><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, &lt;consectetur&gt; adipiscing&nbsp;elit, sed &amp; eiusmod.</p></div></body></html>

Condition and Iteration

Conditions (if, if else, switch) and iterations (for ... in) will work the same as imperative control-flow.

let cond1 = true
let cond2 = false
let elements = ["Lorem", "ipsum"]
let treeControlFlow = Element.html(head: {
    Element.metadata(charset: "UTF-8")
    Element(name: "title") { "Hello world" }
}, body: {
    Element.division {
        if cond1 {
            Element(name: "h1") { "Hello" }
        }
        if cond2 {
            Element(name: "h1") { "Hello" }
        } else {
            Element(name: "h1") { "world" }
        }
        ForEach(elements) { el in
            Element.paragraph { el }
        }
    }
})
print(treeControlFlow.renderHTML())

Will output:

<html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>Hello world</title></head><body><div><h1>Hello</h1><h1>world</h1><p>Lorem</p><p>ipsum</p></div></body></html>

Modifiers

Element is modifiable while building the tree. There is 3 built-in modifiers, identifier, class and attributes

let modifierTree = Element.division {
    Element.paragraph { "Hello world" }.identifier("title")
}.class("container")
print(modifierTree.renderHTML())

Will output:

<div class="container"><p id="title">Hello world</p></div>

attributes takes a closure with inout attributes that you can modify:

let div = Element.division {
}.attributes {
    $0[.relationship] = "hello"
    $0[.source] = "world"
}
print(div.renderHTML())

Will output:

<div rel="hello" src="world"></div>

Raw HTML

You can include raw html in the tree with RawHTML

let rawHTMLTree = try Element.division {
    try RawHTML("""
        <h1>hello world</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit</p>
        """)
}

Will output:

<div><h1>hello world</h1><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit</p></div>
