Domini

A small, simple package for generating HTML documents. The syntax aims to immitate HTML as closely as possible for legibility and ease of use.

Index

• HTML
  • Attributes
  • Content
  • Closing tags
  • Event attributes
• JavaScript
  • JSON type hints

HTML

Attributes

Attributes without a value are entered as positional arguments.
Attributes with a value are entered as keyword arguments.

To specify attributes that collide with reserved Python keywords, append an underscore and it will be removed.

Python

from domini.html import dialog

dialog('open', class_='mydialog')

HTML

<dialog open class='mydialog'>

Content

To add children to an element, there are a few different methods you can use. The content can be either an iterable or a lone element. These elements can be either other tags or plain strings.

• add adds the children to the current object.
• > returns a shallow copy of the element with the children added.
• >> returns a deep copy of the element with the children added.

ul(class_='todo')> (
    li()> 'Buy a fruit basket.',
    li()> (
        'Read ', a(href='https://wikipedia.org/')> 'Wikipedia',
        ' to learn more about things you may not have otherwise cared about.',
    ),
)

Closing tags

A tag is only closed if content is provided. E.g. <p></p> as opposed to <p>. This can be an empty tuple.

p()> ()

For open tags like <br> and <hr>, you simply do br() and hr().

Event attributes

Enumerators for event attributes are available at domini.html.events. You can either use Event, which contains all different event attributes in one, or use an enumerator for a specific category of events.

from domini.html.events import (
    # These are the categories.
    WindowEvent, FormEvent, KeyboardEvent,
    MouseEvent, DragEvent, ClipboardEvent,
    MediaEvent, MiscEvent,
)

JavaScript

JSON type hints

Type hints for the types that are typically used to represent JSON data in Python.

# Either of the following JSON types;
#   JSONBasic | JSONArray | JSONObject
from domini.js import JSON

# The basic, immutable types;
#   None | bool | int | float | str.
from domini.js import JSONBasic

# List and dictionary of JSON values
#   list[JSON] and dict[str, JSON]
from domini.js import JSONArray, JSONObject
