# Dsl
**TODO: Add description**
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/mhanberg/dsl.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/mhanberg/dsl)
Dsl is a DSL for writing HTML using Elixir.
You're probably here because you want to use Dsl to write Phoenix templates, which is why Dsl includes a [Phoenix template engine](#phoenix-templates) and Dsl-compatible [Phoenix form helpers](#phoenixhtml).
## Installation

```
Documentation can be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
and published on [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm). Once published, the docs can
be found at [https://hexdocs.pm/dsl](https://hexdocs.pm/dsl).
## Usage
```elixir
use Dsl
htm do
h2 "todos"
ul class: "list" do
for item <- @items do
li class: "item" do
div class: "checkbox" do
div class: "bullet hidden"
end
div item
end
end
end
script """
function toggleCheck({currentTarget}) {
currentTarget.children[0].children[0].classList.toggle("hidden");
}
let items = document.querySelectorAll("li");
Array.from(items).forEach(checkbox => checkbox.addEventListener("click", toggleCheck));
"""
end
```
### Components
Dsl provides an API for creating custom components that act as custom HTML elements.
These components can be given `props` that are available inside the component definition as module attributes. The contents of a components `do` block are available as a special `@children` attribute.
```elixir
defcomponent :flex do
div id: @id, class: "flex" do
@children
end
end
htm do
flex id: "my-flex" do
div "Item 1"
div "Item 2"
div "Item 3"
end
end
```
### Phoenix.HTML
Dsl provides macros for working with the helpers provided by the [Phoenix.HTML](https://www.github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html) package.
Most of the macros are purely wrappers, while the semantics of some are changed to work with Dsl.
```elixir
htm do
form_for @conn, Routes.some_path(@conn, :create) do
text_input form, :name
end
end
```
### Phoenix templates
Add the templating engine to your Phoenix configuration.
```elixir
# config.exs
config :phoenix, :template_engines, exs: Dsl.Engine
# your_app_web.ex
def view do
quote do
# ...
use Dsl # Replaces the call to import Phoenix.HTML
end
end
```
```elixir
# app.html.exs
html lang: "en" do
head do
meta charset: "utf-8"
meta http_equiv: "X-UA-Compatible", content: "IE=edge"
meta name: "viewport", content: "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"
title "YourApp · Phoenix Framework"
link rel: "stylesheet", href: Routes.static_path(@conn, "/css/app.css")
end
body do
header do
section class: "container" do
nav role: "navigation" do
ul do
li do: a("Get Started", href: "https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html")
end
end
a href: "http://phoenixframework.org/", class: "phx-logo" do
img src: Routes.static_path(@conn, "/images/phoenix.png"),
alt: "Phoenix Framework Logo"
end
end
end
main role: "main", class: "container" do
p get_flash(@conn, :info), class: "alert alert-info", role: "alert"
p get_flash(@conn, :error), class: "alert alert-danger", role: "alert"
partial render(@view_module, @view_template, assigns)
end
script type: "text/javascript", src: Routes.static_path(@conn, "/js/app.js")
end
end
```
