# Skooma.js
```js
import {html} from "skooma.js"
```
A functional-friendly helper library for procedural DOM generation and
templating, with support for reactive state objects.
## Overview
```js
const text = new State({value: "Skooma is cool"})
setTimeout(() => {text.value = "Skooma is awesome!"}, 1e5)
document.body.append(html.div(
html.h1("Hello, World!"),
html.p(text, {class: "amazing"}),
html.button("Show Proof", {click: event => { alert("It's true!") }})
))
```
## Interface / Examples
### Basic DOM generation
Accessing the `html` proxy with any string key returns a new node generator function:
```js
html.div("Hello, World!")
```
Attributes can be set by passing objects to the generator:
```js
html.div("Big Text", {style: "font-size: 1.4em"})
```
Complex structures can easily achieved by nesting generator functions:
```js
html.div(
html.p(
html.b("Bold Text")
)
)
```
For convenience, arrays assigned as attributes will be joined with spaces:
```js
html.a({class: ["button", "important"]})
```
Assigning a function as an attribute will instead attach it as an event listener:
```js
html.button("Click me!", {click: event => {
alert("You clicked the button.")
}})
```
<!-- TODO: Document special keys -->
Generators can be called with many arguments. Arrays get iterated recursively as if they were part of a flat argument list.

## Skooma.js
### HTML Proxy
The proxy object that does the actual HTML generation.
```js
document.body.append(html.div(
html.span("Hello, World!")
))
```
### Handle helper
Wraps a funcion of the signature `event, ... -> value` so that
`event.preventDefault` gets called before running the function.
```js
button.addEventListener("click",
handle(() => console.log("click"))
)
```
### Fragment helper
Wraps a list of elements in a new document fragment.
```js
const spans = fragment(
html.span("First span"),
html.span("Second span")
)
document.body.append(spans.cloneNode())
```
### Text helper
When called as a normal function, returns a new text node with the given
content. Unlike `document.createTextNode`, it does not fail for non-string
values.
```js
const node = text("Hello, World!")
```
When used as a tagged template, returns a document fragment containing text
nodes and interpolated values. DOM nodes can be interpolated into the document
fragment.
```js
const description = text`Interpolate ${html.b("bold")} text`
```
For consistency, even tagged templates with no interpolated variables will
always return a document fragment.
## State.js
### AbortRegistry
`FinalizationRegistry` that takes an `AbortController` and aborts it whenever
the registered value gets collected.
### ChangeEvent
The event class emitted when a change is detected on a skooma state.
Provides the `final` getter.
### MapStorage
A utility class that simulates the `Storage` API but is backed by a map. Can be
used as fallback in environments where persistent storages aren't available.
### SimpleState
Base state class that all other states inherit from, used primarily for class
checking, as the `State` class introduces behaviours that may be undesireable
when inheriting.
### State
The main state class that does all the magic.
### ForwardState
Proxy to a named property on another State to be used with APIs that only accept
single-value states.
### StoredState
State class that is backed by a Storage instead of an internal proxy.

# Skooma # Skooma
A functional-friendly helper library for procedural DOM generation and
templating.
```js
import {html} from "skooma.js"
```
## Overview
```js
const text = new State({value: "Skooma is cool"})
setTimeout(() => {text.value = "Skooma is awesome!"}, 1e5)
document.body.append(html.div(
html.h1("Hello, World!"),
html.p(text, {class: "amazing"}),
html.button("Show Proof", {click: event => { alert("It's true!") }})
))
```
## Interface / Examples
### Basic DOM generation
Accessing the `html` proxy with any string key returns a new node generator
function:
```js
html.div("Hello, World!")
```
Attributes can be set by passing objects to the generator:
```js
html.div("Big Text", {style: "font-size: 1.4em"})
```
Complex structures can easily achieved by nesting generator functions:
```js
html.div(
html.p(
html.b("Bold Text")
)
)
```
For convenience, arrays assigned as attributes will be joined with spaces:
```js
html.a({class: ["button", "important"]})
```
Assigning a function as an attribute will instead attach it as an event
listener:
```js
html.button("Click me!", {click: event => {
alert("You clicked the button.")
}})
```
<!-- TODO: Document special keys -->
Generators can be called with many arguments. Arrays get iterated recursively as
if they were part of a flat argument list.
### Generating Text Nodes
```js
text("Hello, World")
// Wraps document.createTextNode
text()
// Defaults to empty string instead of erroring
text(null)
// Non-string arguments still error
text`Hello, World!`
// returns a new document fragment containing the text node "Hello, World!"
text`Hello, ${user}!`
// returns a document fragment containing 3 nodes:
// "Hello, ", the interpolated value of `user` and "!"
text`Hello, ${html.b(user)}!`
// Text node for Hello, the <b> tag with the user's name, and a text node for !
```
## handle
```js
import {handle} from 'skooma.js'
```
Since it is common for event handlers to call `preventDefault()`, skooma
provides a helper function called `handle` with the following definition:
```js
fn => event => { event.preventDefault(); return fn(event) }
```
## A few more examples:
Create a Button that deletes itself:
```js
document.body.append(
html.button("Delete Me", {click: event => event.target.remove()})
)
```
Turn a two-dimensional array into an HTML table:
```js
const table = rows =>
html.table(html.tbody(rows.map(
row => html.tr(row.map(
cell => html.rd(cell, {dataset: {
content: cell.toLowerCase(),
}})
))
)))
```
A list that you can add items to
```js
let list, input = ""
document.body.append(html.div([
list=html.ul(),
html.input({type: 'text', input: e => input = e.target.value}),
html.button({click: event => list.append(html.li(input))}, "Add"),
]))
```
A list that you can also delete items from
```js
const listItem = content => html.li(
html.span(content), " ", html.a("[remove]", {
click: event => event.target.closest("li").remove(),
style: { cursor: 'pointer', color: 'red' },
})
)
let list, input = ""
document.body.append(html.div([
list=html.ul(),
html.input({type: 'text', input: e => input = e.target.value}),
html.button({click: event => list.append(listItem(input))}, "Add"),
]))
```
