GitHub - goradd/html5tag: html5tag generates html 5 tags (original) (raw)

html5tag

The html5tag package contains utilities to generate html 5 tags. Choose between string versions of the functions for easy tag creation, or io.Writer versions for speed.

html5tag also has a tag builder for convenience and can perform math operations on numeric style values.

html5tag does some checks to make sure tags are well-formed. For example, when adding data-* attributes, it will make sure the key used for the attribute does not violate html syntax rules.

html5tag has options to pretty-print tags and the content of tags so they appear formatted in a document. However, in certain contexts, like in inline text, or in a textarea tag, adding extra returns and spaces changes the look of the output. In these situations, use the functions that do not add spaces to the inner HTML of a tag.

Some examples:

package main

import . "github.com/goradd/html5tag"

main() {

// Render an input tag, inside a div tag, inside a body tag using different tag building mechanisms

a := NewAttributes().
SetID("myText").
Set("text", "Hi there").
Set("placeholder", "Write here").
SetClass("class1 class2").
SetStyle("width":"20em")

inputTag := RenderVoidTag("input", a)
divTag := RenderTag("div", Attriubtes{"id":"inputWrapper"}, inputTag)

bodyTag := NewTagBuilder().
    Tag("body").
    ID("bodyId").
    InnerHtml(divTag).
    String()

fmt.Print(bodyTag)

}
