swift-html-kitura
Kitura plugin for type-safe, transformable HTML views using swift-html.
Motivation
The most popular choice for rendering HTML in a Kitura web app is to use the Stencil templating language, but it exposes your application to runtime errors and invalid HTML. Our plugin prevents these runtime issues at compile-time by embedding HTML directly into Swift’s powerful type system. It uses the swift-html DSL for constructing HTML documents using plain Swift data structures.
Usage
To use the plugin all you have to do is return a Node value from your router callback:
import HtmlKituraSupport
import Kitura
let router = Router()
router.get("/") { request, response, next in
response.send(
Node.h1("Hello, type-safe HTML on Kitura!")
)
next()
}
Kitura.addHTTPServer(onPort: 8080, with: router)
Kitura.run()Take it for a spin
We've included a sample Kitura application in this repo to show off its usage. To run the app immediately, simply do:
swift run HtmlKituraSupportExample- Open your browser to
http://localhost:8080
The HTML for that page is constructed and rendered with swift-html!
If you want to run the app in Xcode so that you can play around with the HTML, try this:
git clone https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-html-kituracd swift-html-kituramake xcodeproj- Select the
HtmlKituraSupportExampletarget - Build and run
cmd+R - Open your browser to
http://localhost:8080
