Text.Blaze.Internal

The BlazeMarkup core, consisting of functions that offer the power to generate custom markup elements. It also offers user-centric functions, which are exposed through Blaze.

While this module is exported, usage of it is not recommended, unless you know what you are doing. This module might undergo changes at any time.

Creating custom tags and attributes.

customParent

Arguments

:: Tag

Element tag

-> Markup

Content

-> Markup

Resulting markup

Create a custom parent element

customLeaf

Arguments

:: Tag

Element tag

-> Bool

Close the leaf?

-> Markup

Resulting markup

Create a custom leaf element

attribute

Arguments

:: Tag

Raw key

-> Tag

Shared key string for the HTML attribute.

-> AttributeValue

Value for the HTML attribute.

-> Attribute

Resulting HTML attribute.

Create an HTML attribute that can be applied to an HTML element later using the ! operator.

dataAttribute

Arguments

:: Tag

Name of the attribute.

-> AttributeValue

Value for the attribute.

-> Attribute

Resulting HTML attribute.

From HTML 5 onwards, the user is able to specify custom data attributes.

An example:

<p data-foo="bar">Hello.</p>

We support this in BlazeMarkup using this function. The above fragment could be described using BlazeMarkup with:

p ! dataAttribute "foo" "bar" $ "Hello."

customAttribute

Arguments

:: Tag

Name of the attribute

-> AttributeValue

Value for the attribute

-> Attribute

Resulting HTML attribtue

Create a custom attribute. This is not specified in the HTML spec, but some JavaScript libraries rely on it.

An example:

<select dojoType="select">foo</select>

Can be produced using:

select ! customAttribute "dojoType" "select" $ "foo"

Converting values to Markup.

text

Arguments

:: Text

Text to render.

lazyText

Arguments

:: Text

Text to insert

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment

• The ByteString could have the wrong encoding.
• The ByteString might contain illegal HTML characters (no escaping is done).

unsafeLazyByteString

Arguments

:: ByteString

Value to insert

-> Markup

Resulting HTML fragment

Insert a lazy ByteString. See unsafeByteString for reasons why this is an unsafe operation.

Comments

textComment :: Text -> Markup

Create a comment from a Text value. The text should not contain "--". This is not checked by the library.

lazyTextComment :: Text -> Markup

Create a comment from a String value. The text should not contain "--". This is not checked by the library.

Setting attributes

class Attributable h

Used for applying attributes. You should not define your own instances of this class.

Minimal complete definition

(!)

Instances

Attributable (MarkupM a)

Defined in Text.Blaze.Internal

Methods

(!) :: MarkupM a -> Attribute -> MarkupM a

Attributable (MarkupM a -> MarkupM b)

Defined in Text.Blaze.Internal

Methods

(!) :: (MarkupM a -> MarkupM b) -> Attribute -> MarkupM a -> MarkupM b

(!) :: Attributable h => h -> Attribute -> h

Apply an attribute to an element.

Example:

img ! src "foo.png"

Result:

<img src="foo.png" />

This can be used on nested elements as well.

Example:

p ! style "float: right" $ "Hello!"

Result:

<p style="float: right">Hello!</p>

(!?) :: Attributable h => h -> (Bool, Attribute) -> h

Shorthand for setting an attribute depending on a conditional.

Example:

p !? (isBig, A.class "big") $ "Hello"

Gives the same result as:

(if isBig then p ! A.class "big" else p) "Hello"

Modifying Markup elements

contents :: MarkupM a -> MarkupM a

Take only the text content of an HTML tree.

contents $ do
    p ! $ "Hello "
    p ! $ "Word!"

Result:

Hello World!

external :: MarkupM a -> MarkupM a

Mark HTML as external data. External data can be:

• CSS data in a style tag;
• Script data in a script tag.

This function is applied automatically when using the style or script combinators.

Querying Markup elements

null :: MarkupM a -> Bool

Check if a Markup value is completely empty (renders to the empty string).
