Tree model markup builder.

Project description

Pure pythonic tree structure model builder.

  • Enter tree nodes with python’s contextmanagers.

  • Cast the tree to given markup (basically it’s suited for XML).

  • Enjoy 1:1 translation from python to given markup.

XML Example

from xplant import xml_plant

x = xml_plant()
with x.node("section_a", attribute_1=1):
    with x.node("nested_1", empty=True):
        pass
    with x.node("nested_2"):
        x.comment("Can handle also comments.")
        for number in range(3):
            x.leaf("a number {:02}".format(number), num=number)
print(x)

Will give:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<section_a attribute_1="1">
  <nested_1 empty="true"></nested_1>
  <nested_2>
    <!-- Can handle also comments. -->
    <a number 00 num="0" />
    <a number 01 num="1" />
    <a number 02 num="2" />
  </nested_2>
</section_a>

HTML generation Example

css = """
    ul {
        list-style-type: none;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        overflow: hidden;
        background-color: #f2fff5;
    }
    li {
      float: left;
    }
    li a {
      display: block;
      color: white;
      text-align: center;
      padding: 14px 16px;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    li a:hover {
      background-color: #111;
    }
    p {
        margin: 15px;
    }
    code {
        background-color: #ded;
        padding: 4px;
        border-radius: 3px;
    }
"""
navigation = {
    "Home": ("../home.html", "red"),
    "Things": ("stuff.html", "green"),

}
text = [

    "The python miss a good HTML generator not vice versa.",
]

p = html5_plant()

with p.html():
    with p.head():
        p.meta(charset="utf-8")
        p.meta(http_equiv="Content-Security-Policy")
        p.line("title", "no templates, no headache")

        with p.style():
            p.text(css)

        p.comment("HERE COMES THE NAVIGATION")
        with p.ul(id="navigation"):
            p.comment("CHECK OUT THIS LIST")
            for name, (link_url, link_color) in navigation.items():
                with p.li():
                    with p.a(href=link_url, style="color:%s;" % link_color):
                        p.text("%s in %s" % (name, link_color))

        p.comment("HERE COMES MAIN SECTION")
        with p.main(style="margin:20px;"):
            for paragraph in text:
                with p.p():
                    if paragraph == "break":
                        p.br()
                    else:
                        p.text(paragraph)


print(p)

Gives such a string:

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" />
    <title>no templates, no headache</title>
