Overview

The HTML package includes general functions for manipulating html tags, comments and the like. It includes specific functions for manipulating attributes inside of tags, including various special attributes like styles, classes, data-* attributes, etc.

Many of the routines return a boolean to indicate whether the data actually changed. This can be used to prevent needlessly redrawing html after setting values that had no affect on the attribute list.

Functions

func AddAttributeValue added in v0.0.3 

func AddAttributeValue(originalValues string, newValues string) (string, bool)

AddAttributeValue is a utility function that appends the given space separated words to the end of the given string, if the words are not already in the string. This is primarily used for adding classes to a class attribute, but other attributes use this structure as well, like aria-labelledby and aria-describedby attributes.

Returns the new string, and a value indicating whether it changed or not. The final string returned will have no duplicates. Since the order of a class list in html makes a difference, you should take care in the order of the classes you add if this matters in your situation.

func AttributeString 

func AttributeString(i interface{}) string

AttributeString is a helper function to convert an interface type to a string that is appropriate for the value in the Set function.

func Comment 

func Comment(s string) string

Comment turns the given text into an html comment and returns the rendered comment

func HasWord added in v0.0.3 

func HasWord(words string, testWord string) (found bool)

HasWord searches the list of strings for the given word.

func Indent 

func Indent(s string) (out string)

Indent will add space to the front of every line in the string. Since indent is used to format code for reading while we are in development mode, we do not need it to be particularly efficient. It will not do this for textarea tags, since that would change the text in the tag.

func MergeStyleStrings added in v0.2.0 

func MergeStyleStrings(s1, s2 string) string

MergeStyleStrings merges the styles found in the two style strings. s2 wins conflicts

func RandomString 

func RandomString(n int) string

RandomString generates a pseudo random string of the given length Characters are drawn from legal HTML values that do not need encoding. The distribution is not perfect, so its not good for crypto, but works for general purposes This also works for GET variables

func RemoveAttributeValue added in v0.0.3 

func RemoveAttributeValue(originalValues string, removeValue string) (string, bool)

Use RemoveAttributeValue to remove a value from the list of space-separated values given. You can give it more than one value to remove by separating the values with spaces in the removeValue string. This is particularly useful for removing a class from a class list in a class attribute.

func RemoveClassesWithPrefix 

func RemoveClassesWithPrefix(class string, prefix string) (string, bool)

RemoveClassesWithPrefix will remove all classes from the class string with the given prefix. Many CSS frameworks use families of classes, which are built up from a base family name. For example, Bootstrap uses 'col-lg-6' to represent a table that is 6 units wide on large screens and Foundation uses 'large-6' to do the same thing. This utility removes classes that start with a particular prefix to remove whatever sizing class was specified. Returns the resulting class list, and true if the list actually changed.

Example 
classes, changed := RemoveClassesWithPrefix("col-6 col-brk col4-other", "col-")
fmt.Println(classes + ":" + strconv.FormatBool(changed))

Output:

col4-other:true

func RenderImage 

func RenderImage(src string, alt string, attributes Attributes) string

RenderImage renders an image tag with the given sourc, alt and attribute values.

func RenderLabel 

func RenderLabel(labelAttributes Attributes, label string, ctrlHtml string, mode LabelDrawingMode) string

RenderLabel is a utility function to render a label, together with its text. Various CSS frameworks require labels to be rendered a certain way.

func RenderTag 

func RenderTag(tag string, attr Attributes, innerHtml string) string

RenderTag renders a standard html tag with a closing tag. innerHtml is html, and must already be escaped if needed. The tag will be surrounded with newlines to force general formatting consistency. This will cause the tag to be rendered with a space between it and its neighbors if the tag is not a block tag. In the few situations where you would want to get rid of this space, call RenderTagNoSpace()

Example 
fmt.Println(RenderTagNoSpace("div", NewAttributesFrom(map[string]string{"id": "me", "name": "you"}), "Here I am"))

Output:

<div id="me" name="you">Here I am</div>

func RenderTagNoSpace 

func RenderTagNoSpace(tag string, attr Attributes, innerHtml string) string

RenderTagNoSpace is similar to RenderTag, but should be used in situations where the tag is an inline tag that you want to visually be right next to its neighbors with no space.

func RenderVoidTag 

func RenderVoidTag(tag string, attr Attributes) (s string)

RenderVoidTag renders a void tag using the given tag name and attributes.

Example 
fmt.Println(RenderVoidTag("img", NewAttributesFrom(map[string]string{"src": "thisFile"})))

Output:

<img src="thisFile" />

func StyleString 

func StyleString(i interface{}) string

StyleString converts an interface type that is being used to set a style value to a string that can be fed into the SetStyle* functions

func TextToHtml 

func TextToHtml(in string) (out string)

TextToHtml does a variety of transformations to make standard text presentable as HTML. It escapes characters needing to be escaped and turns newlines into breaks and double newlines into paragraphs.

Example 
s := TextToHtml("This is a & test.\n\nA paragraph\nwith a forced break.")
fmt.Println(s)

Output:

This is a &amp; test.<p>A paragraph<br />with a forced break.

func ToDataAttr 

func ToDataAttr(s string) (string, error)

ToDataAttr is a helper function to convert a name from camelCase to kabob-case for data attributes in particular. data-* html attributes have special conversion rules. Attribute names should always be lower case. Dashes in the name get converted to camel case javascript variable names. For example, if you want to pass the value with key name "testVar" to javascript by printing it in the html, you would use this function to help convert it to "data-test-var", after which you can retrieve in javascript by calling ".data('testVar')". on the object. This will also test for the existence of a camel case string it cannot handle

Example 
s, _ := ToDataAttr("thisIsMyTest")
fmt.Println(s)

Output:

this-is-my-test

func ToDataKey added in v0.2.0 

func ToDataKey(s string) (string, error)

ToDataKey is a helper function to convert a name from kabob-case to camelCase. data-* html attributes have special conversion rules. Key names should always be lower case. Dashes in the name get converted to camel case javascript variable names. For example, if you want to pass the value with key name "testVar" to javascript by printing it in the html, you would use this function to help convert it to "data-test-var", after which you can retrieve in jQuery by calling ".data('testVar')". on the object.

a.RemoveStyle("height")
fmt.Println(a)

Output:

style="width:5px"

func (Attributes) Set 

func (a Attributes) Set(name string, v string) Attributes

Set is similar to SetChanged, but instead returns an attribute pointer so it can be chained. Will panic on errors. Use this when you are setting attributes using implicit strings. Set v to an empty string to create a boolean attribute.

func (Attributes) SetChanged 

func (a Attributes) SetChanged(name string, v string) (changed bool, err error)

SetChanged sets the value of an attribute. Looks for special attributes like "class" and "style" to do some error checking on them. Returns changed if something in the attribute structure changed, which is useful to determine whether to send the changed control to the browser. Returns err if the given attribute name or value is not valid.

func (Attributes) SetClass 

func (a Attributes) SetClass(v string) Attributes

SetClass will set the class to the given value, and return the attributes so you can chain calls.

Example 
a := NewAttributes()
a.SetClass("this")
a.SetClass("+ that")
s := a.Class()
fmt.Println(s)

Output:

this that

func (Attributes) SetClassChanged 

func (a Attributes) SetClassChanged(v string) bool

SetClass sets the class attribute to the value given. If you prefix the value with "+ " the given value will be appended to the end of the current class list. If you prefix the value with "- " the given value will be removed from an class list. Otherwise the current class value is replaced. Returns whether something actually changed or not. v can be multiple classes separated by a space

func (Attributes) SetDataAttribute 

func (a Attributes) SetDataAttribute(name string, v string) Attributes

SetDataAttribute sets the given data attribute. Note that data attribute keys must be in camelCase notation and connot be hyphenated. camelCase will get converted to kebab-case in html, and converted back to camelCase when referring to the data attribute using .data().

func (Attributes) SetDataAttributeChanged 

func (a Attributes) SetDataAttributeChanged(name string, v string) (changed bool, err error)

SetDataAttribute sets the given value as an html "data-*" attribute. The named value will be retrievable in jQuery by using 

$obj.data("name");

Note: Data name cases are handled specially. data-* attribute names are supposed to be lower kebab case. Javascript converts dashed notation to camelCase when converting html attributes into object properties. In other words, we give it a camelCase name here, it shows up in the html as a kebab-case name, and then you retrieve it using javascript as camelCase again.

For example, if your html looks like this: 

<div id='test1' data-test-case="my test"></div>

You would get that value in javascript by doing: 

g$('test1').data('testCase');

Conversion to special html data-* name formatting is handled here automatically. So if you SetDataAttribute('testCase') here, you can get it using .data('testCase') in jQuery

func (Attributes) SetDisabled 

func (a Attributes) SetDisabled(d bool) Attributes

SetDisabled sets the "disabled" attribute to the given value.

func (Attributes) SetDisplay 

func (a Attributes) SetDisplay(d string) Attributes

SetDisplay sets the "display" attribute to the given value.

func (Attributes) SetID 

func (a Attributes) SetID(i string) Attributes

SetID sets the id attribute to the given value

func (Attributes) SetIDChanged 

func (a Attributes) SetIDChanged(i string) (changed bool, err error)

SetIDChanged sets the id to the given value and returns true if something changed. In other words, if you set the id to the same value that it currently is, it will return false. It will return an error if you attempt to set the id to an illegal value.

func (Attributes) SetStyle 

func (a Attributes) SetStyle(name string, v string) Attributes

func (Attributes) SetStyleChanged 

func (a Attributes) SetStyleChanged(name string, v string) (changed bool, err error)

SetStyle sets the given style to the given value. If the value is prefixed with a plus, minus, multiply or divide, and then a space, it assumes that a number will follow, and the specified operation will be performed in place on the current value. For example, SetStyle ("height", "* 2") will double the height value without changing the unit specifier. When referring to a value that can be a length, you can use numeric values. In this case, "0" will be passed unchanged, but any other number will automatically get a "px" suffix.

func (Attributes) SetStyles 

func (a Attributes) SetStyles(s Style) Attributes

SetStyle merges the given styles with the current styles. The given style wins on collision.

func (Attributes) SetStylesTo 

func (a Attributes) SetStylesTo(s string) Attributes

SetStylesTo sets the styles using a traditional css style string with colon and semicolon separatators

func (Attributes) String 

func (a Attributes) String() string

String returns the attributes escaped and encoded, ready to be placed in an html tag For consistency, it will output the following attributes in the following order if it finds them. Remaining tags will be output in random order: id, name, class

func (Attributes) StyleMap 

func (a Attributes) StyleMap() Style

Returns a special Style structure which lets you refer to the styles as a string map

func (Attributes) StyleString 

func (a Attributes) StyleString() string

Returns the css style string, or a blank string if there is none

type LabelDrawingMode 

type LabelDrawingMode int

The label drawing mode describes how to draw a label when it is drawn. Various CSS frameworks expect it a certain way. Many are not very forgiving when you don't do it the way they expect. 

const (
	// LabelDefault means the mode is defined elsewhere, like in a config setting
	LabelDefault LabelDrawingMode = iota
	// LabelBefore indicates the label is in front of the control.
	// Example: <label>MyLabel</label><input ... />
	LabelBefore
	// LabelAfter indicates the label is after the control.
	// Example: <input ... /><label>MyLabel</label>
	LabelAfter
	// LabelWrapBefore indicates the label is before the control's tag, and wraps the control tag.
	// Example: <label>MyLabel<input ... /></label>
	LabelWrapBefore
	// LabelWrapAfter indicates the label is after the control's tag, and wraps the control tag.
	// Example: <label><input ... />MyLabel</label>
	LabelWrapAfter
)

type TagBuilder 

type TagBuilder struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Use a TagBuilder to create a tag using a builder pattern, starting out with the tag name and slowly adding parts to it, describing it, until you are ready to print out the entire html tag. The zero value is usable.

func NewTagBuilder 

func NewTagBuilder() *TagBuilder

NewTagBuilder starts a tag build, though you can use a tag builder from its zero value too.

func (*TagBuilder) Class 

func (b *TagBuilder) Class(class string) *TagBuilder

Class sets the class attribute to the value given. If you prefix the value with "+ " the given value will be appended to the end of the current class list. If you prefix the value with "- " the given value will be removed from the class list. Otherwise the current class value is replaced. The given class can be multiple classes separated by a space.

Example 
fmt.Println(NewTagBuilder().Tag("div").Class("bob sam"))

Output:

<div class="bob sam"></div>

func (*TagBuilder) ID

Output:

<div>
  <p>A big deal</p>
</div>

func (*TagBuilder) InnerText

Example 
fmt.Println(NewTagBuilder().Tag("div").InnerText("<p>A big deal</p>"))

Output:

<div>
  &lt;p&gt;A big deal&lt;/p&gt;
</div>

func (*TagBuilder) IsVoid 

func (b *TagBuilder) IsVoid() *TagBuilder

By default, tags have inner html. This will make the builder output a void tag instead.

Example 
fmt.Println(NewTagBuilder().Tag("img").IsVoid())

Output:

<img />

func (b *TagBuilder) Link(href string) *TagBuilder

Link is a shortcut that will set the tag to "a" and the "href" to the given destination. This is not the same as an actual "link" tag, which points to resources from the header.

func (*TagBuilder) Set 

func (b *TagBuilder) Set(attribute string, value string) *TagBuilder

Set sets the attribute to the given value

Example 
fmt.Println(NewTagBuilder().Tag("div").Set("me", "you"))

Output:
