FT functions

source

attrmap

 attrmap (o)

source

valmap

 valmap (o)

source

FT

 FT (tag:str, cs:tuple, attrs:dict=None, void_=False, **kwargs)

A ‘Fast Tag’ structure, containing tag,children,and attrs

source

ft

 ft (tag:str, *c, void_:bool=False, attrmap:<built-
     infunctioncallable>=<function attrmap>, valmap:<built-
     infunctioncallable>=<function valmap>, ft_cls=<class '__main__.FT'>,
     **kw)

Create an FT structure for to_xml()

The main HTML tags are exported as ft partials.

Attributes are passed as keywords. Use ‘klass’ and ‘fr’ instead of ‘class’ and ‘for’, to avoid Python reserved word clashes.

Html

 Html (*c, doctype=True, **kwargs)

An HTML tag, optionally preceeded by !DOCTYPE HTML

samp = Html(
    Head(Title('Some page')),
    Body(Div('Some text\nanother line', (Input(name="jph's"), Img(src="filename", data=1)),
             cls=['myclass', 'another'],
             style={'padding':1, 'margin':2}))
)
pprint(samp)
(!doctype((),{'html': True}),
 html((head((title(('Some page',),{}),),{}), body((div(('Some text\nanother line', input((),{'name': "jph's"}), img((),{'src': 'filename', 'data': 1})),{'class': 'myclass another', 'style': 'padding:1; margin:2'}),),{})),{}))
elem = P('Some text', id="myid")
print(elem.tag)
print(elem.children)
print(elem.attrs)
p
('Some text',)
{'id': 'myid'}

You can get and set attrs directly:

elem.id = 'newid'
print(elem.id, elem.get('id'), elem.get('foo', 'missing'))
elem
newid newid missing
p(('Some text',),{'id': 'newid'})

source

Safe

*str(object=’’) -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.__str__() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to ‘strict’.*

Conversion to XML/HTML

source

to_xml

 to_xml (elm, lvl=0, indent=True, do_escape=True)

Convert ft element tree into an XML string

h = to_xml(samp, do_escape=False)
print(h)
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Some page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="myclass another" style="padding:1; margin:2">
Some text
another line      <input name="jph's">
<img src="filename" data="1">    </div>
  </body>
</html>

class PageTitle:
    def __ft__(self): return H1("Hello")

class HomePage:
    def __ft__(self): return Div(PageTitle(), Div('hello'))

h = to_xml(Div(HomePage()))
expected_output = """<div>
  <div>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <div>hello</div>
  </div>
</div>
"""
assert h == expected_output
print(h)
<div>
  <div>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <div>hello</div>
  </div>
</div>

h = to_xml(samp, indent=False)
print(h)
<!doctype html><html><head><title>Some page</title></head><body><div class="myclass another" style="padding:1; margin:2">Some text
another line<input name="jph's"><img src="filename" data="1"></div></body></html>

Interoperability both directions with Django and Jinja using the html() protocol:

def _esc(s): return s.__html__() if hasattr(s, '__html__') else Safe(escape(s))

r = Safe('<b>Hello from Django</b>')
print(to_xml(Div(r)))
print(_esc(Div(P('Hello from fastcore <3'))))
<div><b>Hello from Django</b></div>

<div>
  <p>Hello from fastcore &lt;3</p>
</div>

Display

highlight

 highlight (s, lang='html')

showtags

 showtags (s)

You can also reorder the children to come after the attrs, if you use this alternative syntax for FT where the children are in a second pair of () (behind the scenes this is because FT implements __call__ to add children).

Body(klass='myclass')(
    Div(style='padding:3px')(
        'Some text 1<2',
        I(spurious=True)('in italics'),
        Input(name='me'),
        Img(src="filename", data=1)
    )
)
<body class="myclass">
  <div style="padding:3px">
Some text 1&lt;2<i spurious>in italics</i>    <input name="me">
<img src="filename" data="1">  </div>
</body>
