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.

Synopsis

Important types.

Instances

IsString ChoiceString

Instances

IsString StaticString

data MarkupM a

CustomLeaf ChoiceString Bool	Custom leaf
Content ChoiceString	HTML content
forall b c . Append (MarkupM b) (MarkupM c)	Concatenation of two HTML pieces

Empty	Empty HTML.

Instances

Monad MarkupM
Functor MarkupM
ToMarkup Markup
IsString (MarkupM a)

ToMarkup [Markup]
Attributable (MarkupM a -> MarkupM b)
Typeable (* -> *) MarkupM

type Markup = MarkupM ()

Simplification of the MarkupM datatype.

data Tag

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

Instances

IsString Tag

data Attribute

Type for an attribute.

Instances

Monoid Attribute

data AttributeValue

The type for the value part of an attribute.

Instances

IsString AttributeValue
Monoid AttributeValue
ToValue AttributeValue

Creating custom tags and attributes.

customParent

Arguments

:: Tag	Element tag
-> Markup	Content
-> Markup	Resulting markup

Create a custom parent element

customLeaf

Arguments

:: Tag	Element tag
-> Bool	Close the leaf?
-> Markup	Resulting markup

Create a custom leaf element

attribute

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.

dataAttribute

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."

customAttribute

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.

text

Arguments

:: Text	Text to render.
-> Markup	Resulting HTML fragment.

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

preEscapedText

Arguments

:: Text	Text to insert
-> Markup	Resulting HTML fragment

Render text without escaping.

lazyText

Arguments

:: Text	Text to insert
-> Markup	Resulting HTML fragment

A variant of text for lazy Text.

preEscapedLazyText

Arguments

:: Text	Text to insert
-> Markup	Resulting HTML fragment

A variant of preEscapedText for lazy Text

string

Arguments

:: String	String to insert.
-> Markup	Resulting HTML fragment.

Create an HTML snippet from a String.

preEscapedString

Arguments

:: String	String to insert.
-> Markup	Resulting HTML fragment.

Create an HTML snippet from a String without escaping

unsafeByteString

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).

unsafeLazyByteString

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.

textTag

Arguments

:: Text	Text to create a tag from
-> Tag	Resulting tag

Create a Tag from some Text.

stringTag

Arguments

:: String	String to create a tag from
-> Tag	Resulting tag

Create a Tag from a String.

Converting values to attribute values.

textValue

Arguments

:: Text	The actual value.
-> AttributeValue	Resulting attribute value.

Render an attribute value from Text.

preEscapedTextValue

Arguments

:: Text	The actual value
-> AttributeValue	Resulting attribute value

Render an attribute value from Text without escaping.

lazyTextValue

Arguments

:: Text	The actual value
-> AttributeValue	Resulting attribute value

A variant of textValue for lazy Text

preEscapedLazyTextValue

Arguments

:: Text	The actual value
-> AttributeValue	Resulting attribute value

A variant of preEscapedTextValue for lazy Text

stringValue :: String -> AttributeValue

Create an attribute value from a String.

preEscapedStringValue :: String -> AttributeValue

Create an attribute value from a String without escaping.

unsafeByteStringValue

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.

unsafeLazyByteStringValue

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 where

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

Methods

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

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>

Instances

Attributable (MarkupM a)
Attributable (MarkupM a -> MarkupM b)

(!?) :: Attributable h => h -> (Bool, Attribute) -> h

Shorthand for setting an attribute depending on a conditional.

Example:

p !? (isBig, A.class "big") $ "Hello"

Gives the same result as:

(if isBig then p ! A.class "big" else p) "Hello"

Modifying Markup elements

contents :: MarkupM a -> MarkupM b

Take only the text content of an HTML tree.

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

Result:

Hello World!

external :: MarkupM a -> MarkupM a

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.

Querying Markup elements

null :: MarkupM a -> Bool

Check if a Markup value is completely empty (renders to the empty string).
