# HSX
⚠️ This project is a work in progress.
HSX (Hypertext S-expression) is a straightforward HTML5 generation library for Common Lisp.
This project is a fork of [flute](https://github.com/ailisp/flute/), originally created by Bo Yao.
## Usage
With the `hsx` macro, you can construct HTML using S-expressions.
```lisp
(hsx
(div :id "greeting" :class "flex"
(h1 "Hello World")
(p
"This is"
(strong "an example!"))))
```
This code generates the following HTML:
```html
<div id="greeting" class="flex">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>
This is
<strong>an example!</strong>
</p>
</div>
```
HSX elements are essentially functions, allowing you to compose them freely and embed Common Lisp code within them.
```lisp
(hsx
(div
(p :id (+ 1 1))
(ul
(loop
:for i :from 1 :to 3
:collect (li (format nil "item~a" i))))
(if t
(p "true")
(p "false"))))
```
This generates:
```html
<div>
<p id="2"></p>
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
<li>item3</li>
</ul>
<p>true</p>
</div>
```
To define a component, simply create a function that accepts keyword arguments, property lists, or both, and define the HSX element using the `defhsx` macro. The `children` property accepts the children of a component.
```lisp
(defhsx card #'%card)
(defun %card (&key title children)
(hsx
(div
(h1 title)
children)))
```
or
```lisp
(defhsx card #'%card)
(defun %card (&rest props)
(hsx
(div
(h1 (getf props :title))
(getf props :children))))
```
This can then be used as follows:
```lisp
(hsx
(card :title "card1"
(p "Lorem ipsum...")))
```
Which generates:
```html
<div>
<h1>card1</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
```
The previous definition can be simplified using the `defcomp` macro.
```lisp
(defcomp card (&key title children)
(hsx
(div
(h1 title)
children)))
```
