Is Seaside's Canvas/Brush metaphor for creating HTML available outside of Seaside?

137 posts

Hi,

I know, there are templating systems like Mustache, but I always loved Seaside's Canvas/Brush metaphor for creating HTML. Is it available as a standalone package, so it can be used outside of Seaside?

Best regards,
Martin.

Depends on what you mean with ‘outside of Seaside’ but maybe this is what you would be looking for:

WAHtmlCanvas builder render: [ :html |
html anchor
url: 'htttp://www.seaside.st';
with: 'Seaside Homepage' ]

See WABuilderCanvasTest for some examples.

Hope this helps?
Johan

Yes you can:

WAHtmlCanvas builder
render: [ :html |
html heading: 'Test'; paragraph: 'foo bar' ].

Or just instantiate any component and let it render.

Hi johan

What would be good is to have it in a separate package because I wanted
to output HTML and loading seaside
for that was heavy.

Pillar has this which is less powerful thank Seaside but good enough for
us:

canvas tag
name: 'a';
parameterAt: 'id' put: anId;
with: ''

And Zn has a very simple one too (since recently):

generateHelp
"Generate an HTML page with links to all pages I support"

^ ZnHtmlOutputStream streamContents: [ :html |
html page: (self class name, ' Help') do: [
html tag: #h3 with: 'Available Pages'.
html tag: #ul do: [
prefixMap keys sorted do: [ :each |
html tag: #li do: [
html tag: #a attributes: { #href. each } with: each ] ] ] ] ]

But Seaside's is better, though much larger.

Cool. This should come in handy at many occasions.
I will use it right away. Thank you.

Well… It’s in a separate package called ‘Seaside-Canvas’.
You should only need Seaside-Core as a prerequisite, as you can derive from the metacello config.

I did not try, but let me know if you do.

html h1: 'WATERMINT'.
html div id: 'foo'; class: 'foo'; with: [ html p: 'Foo!' ].
html div id: 'bar'; with: [ html p: 'Bar!' ].
html h1: 'BAZ!' ]].
