A HTML rendering engine implemented in the Nix module system.

Yes indeed! It's the Document Object Model (DOM) implemented all over again, but with Nix modules.

Because we always wanted type-safe, correct-by-construction HTML and relative links, and we always wanted it in the most painful way.

Also because the Nix language intrudes oneself upon us as a templating engine, and is not that bad at it. A semblance of dependent types, too.

Check tests.nix for what one can do with htmnix.

Help appreciated!

1. Install Nix

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone [email protected]:fricklerhandwerk/htmnix

3. Run the tests in a loop:

   nix-shell --run test-loop

4. Edit any of the files, see repository layout for guidance

5. Add more HTML data structures to dom.nix and more tests to verify that they work.

• dom.nix

  The document object model implemented in the module system.

• tests.nix

  Unit tests for exercising the implementation.

• default.nix

  Entry point for building the project. This is where content, structure, and presentation are wired up.

• shell.nix

  Convenience wrapper to enable running nix-shell without arguments.

• lib.nix

  Reusable convenience functions. Also exposed under the lib attribute in default.nix.

• npins

  Dependencies, managed with npins.

• README.md
