Object Oriented HTML Construction Toolkit for Python

Project description

# OOHTML Object Oriented HTML Construction Toolkit for Python

Simple Usage

you can construct HTML in two ways, first with feeding the Constructor:

>>> from OOHTML import *
>>> C = Constructor()
>>> C.feed(o('html'),                  #open HTML tag
             o('head'),                #open Head
             c('head'),                #close Head
             o('body'),
               o('div'),
                 r('Hello World!'),    #raw content
                 s('area'),            #singleton (self closing element)
               c('div'),
             c('body'),
            c('html'))

Or using class methods, the above example can be rewriten as:

>>> from OOHTML import *
>>> C = Constructor()
>>> C.open('html').open('head').close('head').open('body')
>>> C.open('div').raw('Hello World!').single('area').close('div')
>>> C.close('body').close('html')

to render the constructor as html, you can use render() method:

>>> C.render()

Each of opening, singleton or raw elements can have an id (not the HTML ID of the element) so they can be accessible:

>>> R = r('Hello World', 'message') #a raw element with id 'message'
>>> O = o('div', {}, 'menu')        #opening element with id 'menu'
>>> S = s('img', {}, 'bg')          #singleton with id 'bg'
>>> C.feed(R)
>>> C.getElementById('message')
>>> C.removeElementById('message')

You can insert a Constructor object inside another Constructor:

>>> sampleConstructor = Constructor()
>>> C.addAfterId('sampleID', sampleConstructor)

There are numerous methods for accessing elements and changing its data:

>>> C.getElementById('message').value          #Raw elements use .value to store their data
>>> C.getElementById('sample').attributes      #Opening and Singleton elements have .attribute
>>> C.getElementById('sample').tag             #Opening, Closing & Singleton elements have .tag
>>> C.getElementById('sample').id              #All elements have .id

Opening and Singleton Elements can have attributes:

>>> div = o('div', {'class':['message', 'floater']}, 'contents')
>>> C.feed(div)
>>> div.addAtributes({'id': ['sample']})

You can use this attributes to select elements:

>>> C.getElementsByAttributes({'class': ['test']})    #This returns a generator

To show you an example:

>>> from OOHTML import *
>>> C = Constructor()

>>> C.feed(o('html'),
         o('head'),
           o('script', {'type': ['text/javascript'], 'src':['script.js']}),
           c('script'),
           o('style', {'type': ['text/css'], 'src':['style.css']}),
           c('style'),
         c('head'),
         o('body'),
           o('div', {'class':['message']}),
             r('Hello World!!!', 'message'),
             s('img', {'alt': ['Hello'], 'src':['img.jpeg']}),
           c('div'),
           o('div', {'class':['message', 'floater']}, 'contents'), c('div'),
         c('body'),
       c('html'))

>>> C.getElementById('message').value = "HTML CONSTRUCTOR!!!"
>>> C.addAfterId('contents', Constructor().open('div').raw('OOHTML').single('br').close('div'))
>>> print(C.render())

The above outputs:

<html>
    <head>
        <script type = "text/javascript" src = "script.js">
        </script>
        <style type = "text/css" src = "style.css">
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class = "message">
            HTML CONSTRUCTOR!!!
            <img src = "img.jpeg" alt = "Hello"/>
        </div>
        <div class = "message floater">
            <div>
                OOHTML
                <br/>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
