<h2>Elevator Pitch</h2>
<p>
Skooma lets you <u>elegantly</u> express nested DOM structures in <u>plain JavaScript</u>.
<br>
It makes your code more <u>declarative</u> without re-inventing language features like loops and conditions.
</p>
<skooma-showcase>
<code><div contenteditable="false">return html.p(
"Text Node",
html.br(),
html.b("HTML Node")
)</div></code>
</skooma-showcase>
<p>
Skooma aims to be what <code>document.createElement</code> should have been.
It creates a node, sets classes and attributes, inserts content and attaches event listeners.
</p>
<p>Some key characteristics:</p>
<ul>
<li> <b>No build steps required</b>
<li> <b>Plays nice with web components</b>
<li> <b>Just vanilla JavaScript</b>
<li> Code mirrors output in structure
<li> Single Responsibility: Generating HTML
<li> No closing tags
</ul>
</section>
<section id="getting-started" class="content-width">
<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<section>
<p class="important">
Trying out skooma is super easy!<br>
Just import the <code>html</code> export into your script and start generating DOM nodes.
</p>
<pre><code lang=js>import {html} from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skooma@1.3.1/skooma.min.js"</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<p>
To create elements, skooma exposes the <code>html</code> proxy.
Accessing this proxy with any value will return a node factory function.
<br>
In its most basic form, these functions will simply generate a new DOM node
of the respective type.
</p>
<skooma-showcase preview="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">return html.div()</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
<p>
If you quickly want to render your HTML to a website to see the result,
the component helper found in <code>sckooma/state.js</code> makes this a lot easier.<br>
This wrapper registers a new custom element to insert the results of a function in your document.
</p>
<pre><code lang=js>import {component} from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skooma@1.3.1/state.min.js"
const myComponent = () =&gt; html.div("Rendered Component")
component(myComponent) //Registers it as &lt;my-component&gt;</code></pre>
<p>
This wrapper also provides some state-management features that will be described in a separate section.
</p>
<p>
Of course you can also just call <code lang=js>document.body.append(html.span("My Text"))</code> in your script.
</p>
</section>
</section>
<section class="content-width">
<h3>Basic DOM generation</h3>
<section>
<p>
Content can be added to a node by simply passing it as arguments to the function.
String arguments get inserted as text nodes, and DOM nodes are simply appended to the child list.
<br>
This results in an easy way to compose nested DOM structures.
</p>
<skooma-showcase preview="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">return html.span(
"Testing ",
html.u("stuff")
)</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
</section>
<section>
<p>
Attributes are added by passing an object to the function,
where each key-value pair gets turned into an attribute on
the generated node.
</p>
<skooma-showcase preview="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">return html.span({
id: "warning",
class: ["danger", "bold"],
// Arrays get joined with spaces
})</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
</section>
<section>
<p>
When trying to assign a function as the value of an attribute,
skooma will instead register that function as an event handler
with the attribute name being used the event name instead.
</p>
<skooma-showcase code="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">return html.button(
"Click Me!",
{ click: event => {
alert("Button clicked :3")
} }
)</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
</section>
</section>
<section class="content-width">
<h2>Leveraging JS features</h2>
<p>
When generating HTML with skooma, you never stop writing JavaScript.
This means that all JavaScript features are available anywhere
inside your code. Functions like <code>filter</code> or <code>map</code>
can be applied directly to your data, nodes can be assigned to
variables right as you create them, and the syntax is always 100%
pure javascript as most browsers and dev tools understand it.
</p>
<skooma-showcase code="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">return html.ul(
["u", "b", "i"].map(
type => html.li(html[type](
`&lt;${type}&gt; element`
))
)
)</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
<p>
A more complex example that assembles an array of objects into a table:
</p>
<skooma-showcase code="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">const table = (...rows) =&gt; {
const keys = new Set()
for (const row of rows) {
Object.keys(row).forEach(
key =&gt; keys.add(key)
)
}
const header = Array.from(keys)
return html.table(
{class: "full-width"},
html.thead(
html.tr(header.map(
key =&gt; html.th(key)
))
),
html.tbody (
rows.map(row => html.tr(
header.map(
key => html.td(
row[key] ?? empty
)
)
))
)
)
}
return table(
{name: "Alice", hobby: "fishing"},
{name: "Bob", hobby: "cooking", age: 22}
)</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
</section>
<section class="content-width">
<h2>Managing state in Skooma</h2>
<pre><code lang=js>import {State} from 'skooma/state.js'</code></pre>
<p>
Reactivity and state management in skooma are split between the core module and the <code>state</code> module.
</p>
<h3>Generator Functions</h3>
<p>
The core <code>skooma.js</code> module understands a state object to be anything that is
</p>
<ol>
<li> Not a DOM node
<li> Has a <code>value</code> property
<li> Has an <code>addEventListener</code> method
</ol>
<p>
When such an object is passed into a generator function as either a child element or an attribute,
skooma will use the <code>value</code> of the state object and register a <code>"change"</code> event
that replaces the attribute or child element with the current <code>value</code>.
</p>
<p>
One special case worth mentioning is when an attribute is assigned a state object with a function as its value.
In these cases, the function gets registered as an event handler just like if it was assigned directly,
but updating the state will remove the event handler and register a new event handler with the current <code>value</code>.
</p>
<h3>The <code>state</code> module</h3>
<p>
This module primarily exposts the <code>State</code> class,
which extends the <code>EventTarget</code> class.
</p>
<p>
Every state object exposes a proxy object via the <code>proxy</code> property.
This proxy can be used like any normal object, but setting any property on it will dispatch a <code>"change"</code> event on the corresponding state object.
The proxy object itself also has a getter and setter for the <code>value</code> property, which gets forwarded directly to <code>proxy.value</code> for easier access.
</p>
<p>
This means that any <code>State</code> object satisfies the API of a state object from the previous section,
meaning they can be used to build reactive components.
</p>
<skooma-showcase code="false">
<code>
<div contenteditable="false">const counter = new State({value: 0})
counter.valueChanged = newValue =&gt;
console.log(`Value: ${newValue}`)
return html.flexColumn(
{gap: 1},
html.button(
"Click Me! ",
html.span(counter),
{ click: () =&gt; {
counter.value += 1
}}
),
html.button(
"Clear",
{ click: () =&gt; {
counter.value = 0
}}
)
)</div>
</code>
</skooma-showcase>
<!-- TODO: Describe constructor options -->
<p>
The basic <code>State</code> object is backed by a plain JS object, so their attributes are unique and do not persist page reload.<br>
By contrast, the <code>StoredState</code> class, which extends the core <code>State</code> class, is backed by a <code>Storage</code> object like
<code>window.localStorage</code> or <code>window.sessionStorage</code>, meaning that they persist page reloads.<br>
Additionally, they detect changes both from the current as well as from other browser tabs/windows, so any updates of the state
get propagated automatically to all states backed by the same storage.
