mvcoconut/coconut.html

Coconut rendering plain old HTML.

Coconut HTML backend

A special coconut backend to render plain HTML, for use in static generators and server side rendering.

Usage:

coconut.html.Renderer.render('
  <div>Hello world!</div>
');

This will give you a tink.HtmlString, which you can serve, dump into a file, or process in any other way you may see fit.

Code removal

Because coconut.html can run on any platform, it removes quite a bit of code intended for client side use:

• DOM event handlers
• refs
• life cycle callbacks
• any fields annotated with @:clientside

All the removed code is not type checked, so that views which compile fine for the server may produce errors when you switch to client.

coconut.html's Issues

Add support for implicits.

attribute missing in rendered result

function main() trace(coconut.html.Renderer.render('<Analytics />'));

class Analytics extends coconut.ui.View {
    function render() 
        <script defer src='https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js' data-cf-beacon='{"token": "xxxx"}'></script>
    ;
}

Traces: <script defer src="https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js"></script> with the extra attribute missing. Nothing in the compiler output, apart from some deprecation warnings and Your coconut backend seems to be out of date (it's not).

Allow using tink.domspec.Style as style.

Ideally would use @:from macro to allow flattening to string at compile time.

Views with type parameters don't work.
