Simple package that helps with creating html strings.
Project description
This is a package which was inspired by the annoyance of writing html strings when working with serving modules like flask.
pip install htmlhelpersBasic usage
First, lets make some strings with basic html elements.
from htmlhelpers import htmlstring as hsCreate an html element:
hs.p("We love volleyball!")
# <p>We love volleyball!</p>or one with attributes:
hs.p("We love volleyball!", attr_str='style="text-align:right"')
# <p style="text-align:right">We love volleyball!</p>Or build a hierarchy:
hs.html(hs.p("Still love volleyball!"))
# <html><p>Still love volleyball!</p></html>Build a list:
hs.ul("".join[hs.li("cats"), hs.li("dogs")])
# <ul><li>cats</li><li>dogs</li></ul>Although once a list like that begins to grow, things can start to look a little messy. For more complex html expressions, we will be using the notion on a tag_series and a tag_phrase.
from htmlhelpers import htmlphrase as hpSay we have a rappidly growing list. We can use a series to quickly create many of the same html elements in succession. We can use a tag_series.
list_of_animals = ["cats", "dogs", "rabbits"]
animals = hp.tag_series(hs.li, list_of_animals)
hs.ul(animals)
# <ul><li>cats</li><li>dogs</li><li>rabits</li></ul>As the structure becomes deeper, we can further simplify our code with a tag_phrase.
hp.tag_phrase([hs.html, hs.div, hs.ul], animals)
# <html><div><ul><li>cats</li><li>dogs</li><li>rabits</li></ul></div></html>Lastly, you can format the string in a much more human readable way, by setting the formatting=True in the tag_series function.
hp.tag_phrase([hs.html, hs.div, hs.ul], animals, formatting=True)
"""
<html>
<div>
<ul>
<li>cats</li>
<li>dogs</li>
<li>rabits</li>
</ul>
</div>
</html>
"""Optionally, you can pass one of these html phrase strings (any multilevel heirarchy) into the format_phrase function, found in htmlhelpers.htmlformat
Hope this helps at least a little! :)
