* Description
Very basic Python functions to generate HTML in a compasable way.

* Usage

Very much inspired from React.

A component is any function that returns the result of a ~create_element~ call. This function that the element name,

Let us first define a Text component. We will create a text element without any attributes:

#+begin_src python :session
from chp import create_element, create_prop, render_element

def Text(t):
return create_element("span", [], t)

t = Text("YourLabs")
render_element(t)
# outputs => "<span >YourLabs</span>"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: <span >YourLabs</span>

Let's now use this component to display text inside of a link:


#+begin_src python :session
def Link(href, children):
href = create_prop("href", href)
return create_element("a", [href], children)

l = Link("yourlabs.org", [Text("YourLabs")])
render_element(l)
# outputs => "<a href="yourlabs.org"><span >YourLabs</span></a>"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: <a href="yourlabs.org"><span >YourLabs</span></a>

Let us now define a Menu component that will create links inside of a nav element based on some input. Let's also rename out ~create_element~ and ~create_prop~ functions to ~ce~ and ~cp~ respectively

#+begin_src python :session
ce = create_element
cp = create_prop

def Menu(links=[]):
c = [] # menu children links array
for l in links:
el = Link(l["href"], [Text(l["text"])])
c.append(el)

return ce("nav", [cp("class", "menu")], c)

links = [
{
"href": "yourlabs.org",
"text": "YourLabs",
},
{
"href": "novamedia.nyc",
"text": "NovaMedia",
},
]

m = Menu(links)
render_element(m)
# outputs => <nav class="menu"><a href="yourlabs.org"><span >YourLabs</span></a><a href="novamedia.nyc"><span >NovaMedia</span></a></nav>
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:

Pretty printed, this final output is:
#+begin_src html
<nav class="menu">
<a href="yourlabs.org">
<span>YourLabs</span>
</a>
<a href="novamedia.nyc">
<span>NovaMedia</span>
</a>
</nav>
#+end_src

Feel free to check out the app.py and components.py files to see how a full page can be built easily using this method. The app.py file writes the html output to another file called output.html.

* Trying it
#+begin_src bash
git clone git@github.com:tbinetruy/CHIP.git
cd CHIP

python app.py # write html to output.html file
firefox output.html
#+end_src

* Examples

To run the example project:
- pip install --user --editable path/to/chp[dev]
- yarn install; yarn start
- chp-django runserver
- py.test path/to/chp

#+begin_src python
import chp

def FormSchema(is_checked):
return chp.Form([
chp.Row([
chp.Input('username'),
chp.CheckboxField(is_checked),
])
])

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
def render(self):
is_checked = 'checked' # self.checked
return mark_safe(FormSchema(is_checked).render_element(Form))

#+end_src

~phtml~ becomes a string containing the following html code:

#+begin_src html
<form class="mdc-layout-grid__cell">
<div class="mdc-layout-grid__inner">
<input class="mdc-input__native-control" type="text" id="{{ id }}" value="{{ value }}" name="username"></input>
<div class="mdc-form-field">
<div class="mdc-checkbox">
<input class="mdc-checkbox__native-control" type="checkbox" id="{{ id }}" name="password"></input>
<div class="mdc-checkbox-background"></div>
<label for="{{ id }}">{{ label }}</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div >
{% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
{{ error }}
{% endfor %}
</div>
</form>
#+end_src

- Testing of the pyreact.py file. Some of the high level results were copy pasted into tests.org
