Templating

This crate provides the html macro for creating HTML templates in a simple way. More information about the macro can be found in its documentation.

Tutorial

Simple templates

You can use the html macro to create a tamplate like this:

fn home() -> String {
    html! {
        <span>
            Welcome to my page
        </span>
    }
}

Expression templates

You can use parentheses to insert a runtime value into the string.

fn dashboard(user: &str) -> String {
    html! {
        <h3>
            Hello, (user)
        </h3>
    }
}

But if you try this, you will get an unexpected result:

dashboard("Rust") // => <h3>Hello,Rust</h3>

If you want to add an space, you can use templates:

fn dashboard(user: &str) -> String {
    html! {
        <h3>
            ("Hello, ")(user)
        </h3>
    }
}

dashboard("Rust") // => <h3>Hello, Rust</h3>

Block templates

You can use block templates to create more complex templates:

fn store(items: Vec<String>) -> String {
    html! {
        <ul>
            {
                for item in items {
                    html! {
                        <li>
                            (item)
                        </li>
                    };
                }
            }
        </ul>
    }
}
