# HSX
HSX (Hypertext S-expression) is a simple and powerful HTML (Living Standard)
generation library for Common Lisp.
This project is a fork of [ailisp/flute](https://github.com/ailisp/flute/).
## Warning
This software is still in ALPHA quality. The APIs are likely to change.
Please check the [release notes](https://code.skyizwhite.dev/paku/hsx/releases)
for updates.
## Getting Started
### Basic Usage
Use the `hsx` macro to create HTML elements. Attributes are specified using a
property list after the element name, and child elements are nested directly
inside.
```lisp
(hsx
(div :id "example" :class "container"
(h1 "Welcome to HSX")
(p "This is an example paragraph.")))
```
This generates:
```html
<div id="example" class="container">
<h1>Welcome to HSX</h1>
<p>This is an example paragraph.</p>
</div>
```
To convert an HSX object into an HTML string, use the `render-to-string`
function:
```lisp
(render-to-string
(hsx ...))
```
### Embedding Content
HSX allows you to embed Common Lisp forms directly within your HTML structure.
When working with HSX elements inside embedded Lisp forms, you should use the
`hsx` macro again.
```lisp
(hsx
(div
(p :id (format nil "id-~a" (random 100)))
(ul
(loop
:for i :from 1 :to 5 :collect
(hsx (li (format nil "Item ~a" i)))))
(if (> (random 10) 5)
(hsx (p "Condition met!"))
(hsx (p "Condition not met!")))))
```
This might generate:
```html
<div>
<p id="id-42"></p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
<li>Item 5</li>
</ul>
<p>Condition not met!</p>
</div>
```
### Using Fragments
To group multiple elements without adding an extra wrapper, use the fragment
`<>`.
```lisp
(hsx
(<>
(h1 "Grouped Elements")
(p "First paragraph.")
(p "Second paragraph.")))
```
This generates:
```html
<h1>Grouped Elements</h1>
<p>First paragraph.</p>
<p>Second paragraph.</p>
```
### Creating Components
You can define reusable components using the `defcomp` macro. Component names
must begin with a tilde (`~`). Properties should be declared using `&key`,
`&rest`, or both. The body must return an HSX element.
```lisp
(defcomp ~card (&key title children)
(hsx
(div :class "card"
(h1 title)
children)))
```
Alternatively, you can use a property list:
```lisp
(defcomp ~card (&rest props)
(hsx
(div :class "card"
(h1 (getf props :title))
(getf props :children))))
```
Usage example:
```lisp
(hsx
(~card :title "Card Title"
(p "This is a card component.")))
```
Generates:
```html
<div class="card">
<h1>Card Title</h1>
<p>This is a card component.</p>
</div>
```
