HTML nodes in Rust. [powered by rstml].
If you want to use this purely for building websites in rust, consider using my other library, hypertext. It puts performance and type-checking first, and supports this crate's syntax as well as maud's syntax, which is much cleaner.
- Text escaping
- Pretty-printing
- Customizable compile-time type-checked elements and attributes (docs)
- completely optional, and can be mixed with untyped elements when needed!
let shopping_list = vec!["milk", "eggs", "bread"];
let shopping_list_html = html! {
<div>
<h1>Shopping List</h1>
<ul>
{ shopping_list.into_iter().zip(1..).map(|(item, i)| html! {
<li class="item">
<input type="checkbox" id={format!("item-{i}")}>
<label for={format!("item-{i}")}>{text!("{item}")}</label>
</li>
}) }
</ul>
</div>
};
HTML Output
// the `#` flag enables pretty-printing
println!("{shopping_list_html:#}");
<div>
<h1>
Shopping List
</h1>
<ul>
<li class="item">
<input type="checkbox" id="item-1">
<label for="item-1">
milk
</label>
</li>
<li class="item">
<input type="checkbox" id="item-2">
<label for="item-2">
eggs
</label>
</li>
<li class="item">
<input type="checkbox" id="item-3">
<label for="item-3">
bread
</label>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
