Typed Html

Overview

The html! macro introduced in this Rust crate brings a unique approach to building fully type-checked HTML documents with a syntax reminiscent of JSX. This feature enables developers to craft HTML structures directly within their Rust code, making the process of creating web applications more seamless and integrated. Though the project is currently not maintained, it showcases an interesting utility for those looking to enhance their HTML writing experience while leveraging the Rust programming paradigm.

Features

• JSX-Compatible Syntax: The macro largely adheres to JSX syntax but requires text nodes to be quoted, enabling a smoother transition for developers familiar with React.
• Rust Expression Support: Element attributes can accept simple Rust expressions, allowing for dynamic attribute assignment while remaining within the constraints of the Rust type system.
• Valid HTML5 Enforcement: Guarantees that only valid HTML5 tags and attributes are accepted, helping maintain standards and minimizing potential errors.
• Basic Structure Validation: Ensures that elements adhere to defined parent-child relationships based on HTML specifications, though some checks are limited due to the parser's capabilities.
• Attribute Type Checking: The macro checks the types of attribute values, helping catch potential errors in assigning inappropriate types at compile time.
• Dynamic Class Handling: Facilitates easy assignment of CSS classes by allowing string literals, significantly simplifying the process of styling without complex constructs.
• DOM Tree Integration: Supports generating nested nodes by accepting structures that implement IntoIterator, making it easy to create complex HTML layouts.
